Image To the Editor: Re “On Father’s Day, Skip the Politics,” by Margaret Renkl (Op-Ed, June 11): I cannot imagine not loving someone in my family because of politics. Perhaps that is because politics never seems to separate us very much. We think virtually alike on the subject. But then I have sometimes thought what it must have been like when relatives, even brothers, fought on opposite sides of the Civil War, and perhaps even pointed guns at each other. However, he was always fair-minded, well-meaning, generous and a far better person than I have been or ever will be. But it would not have mattered to me. So by all means leave the politics behind this Father’s Day, and most every day when it comes to family and close friends. It works most of the time. To the Editor: What a beautiful article. People who voted for Donald Trump deserve to be banned from polite society.
