That was the poignant and wise question a family member posed on Facebook after Joe Biden became President-elect. More specifically: Was your blind loyalty to President Donald Trump, a person you've never met, worth burning our family to the ground? Like so many across the country since the election of the 45th President, our family has been splintered. Mirroring our real-life relationships, Facebook connections among our family members ended suddenly after Trump's inauguration. Family birthday greetings, anniversary celebrations and graduation photos eventually disappeared from my timeline as other family members used social media to take sides.
