Like many here, I have extended family with a wide variety of political opinions. This may cause some problems soon (again, I'm sure this is true for many).
Here's the situation: DH and I want to expand our garage to add in some shop space and increase resale value in the future. I have a family member who works in construction, does good quality work, and always gives us the friends-and-family rate.
However, he's a die-hard Trump supporter, and I... am not. I'm someone who takes a very grim view towards those who entered the Capitol last week, while I suspect my family member supports it. I'm angry enough to not give him my business if my suspicion is confirmed.
Second however, when I talk with other family members who are more familiar with the construction companies in the area, they claim that all of those guys are the same, so unless we want to do all of the work ourselves (which we are physically incapable of doing), we'll need to hire someone with political views that, IMO, have crossed from "Yeah, we disagree but let's just get the work done" to "You're supporting seditionists. Why should I even talk to you, much less hire you?"
Other family that has worked with the Trump-supporter have said that they've agreed to not listen to the radio or discuss politics during projects, so pleasant work atmosphere can be achieved, I'm just... stymied and unsure of what's ethical to do here and fits my morals.
Do I try to find another contractor whose politics aren't abhorrent to me? How could I even do this? Have a conversation with the Trump-supporter that acknowledges that we'll never agree so let's not talk about it? I would love to hear your ideas/input/opinions, etc.
