Yes, a woman who is a regular customer where I work. Surprised me as she comes across as someone who I would have thought was liberal (compassionate/generous, etc.).

Um, of course, I know people on the other side, and I would expect everyone here (except BRTD) to have at least one friend on the other side.

One co-worker of mine actually, though claims to have written-in "Chuck Norris", not that I blame him...my town might well be the absolute worst city in the entire nation to support Trump.

The people who go to my church mostly voted for Trump, although only a few of them actually like him.

That would be an instant disqualifier for any church I'd ever go to.

Voted Hillary, haven't met any Trump supporters that I know of but I don't really discuss politics outside of internet/immediate family.

Since none of my friends can vote, it depends how you define it.

Because understanding how other human beings think and feel is the only way I can hope to become a better person.

Yeah, we've talked about the election also. Despite going to school in California, there were a lot more opportunities to than I expected.

Among the people I know who I’ve actually talked to in person (online communication is a different story) since the election, the only one who I’ve talked politics with who I might have guessed would have voted Trump ended up going with Johnson.  But I’ve certainly met with some folks who I simply don’t talk politics with who might have voted Trump.  It’s just not a subject that comes up with everyone I know.

Granted, my personal life is in limbo at the moment as I’ve recently returned to MN after a long time living in Australia, and many of the people I used to know here are gone.  So I’ve mostly just socialized with people in my family.  Depending on what happens on the job front, I may well move to some other part of the country in the near future, so I haven’t really been working on my social life since I got back.

Yes, since most of my friends are democrats, I obviously know and converse with Hillary supporters.

Yes. Mostly lower-middle class neighbour friends that I lived with, well I haven't met them, but I still have contact them.

If you live in a very liberal area, don't have any relatives in America, and are too socially anxious to spend time with people outside of your pre-existing social circles, it's very possible.

Most of my politically engaged friends are Trump supporters.

Also, in liberal circles, the few Trump supporters tend to be more reasonable, like the woman I mentioned in the OP.
