... avoid the topic? I think thats really the only thing you can do. The only family member I know who may vote for trump is my SIL and I don't like her anyways so it isn't such a thing. But I feel like there is no feeling better about it, only trying to forget that it exists.

My dad brings it up everytime we see each other. I'm more middle road (history of voting conservative... but lately unsure because I'm split pretty evenly between parties on major issues...). I could never ever vote for Trump. I don't love Clinton either. Sanders would have been my choice.
My dad thinks Clinton is basically the devil and while he isn't a Trump lover, he is planning to vote for him and respects him enough to defend him. So we argue a lot.
He also thinks women shouldn't work. So there's that whole argument too.
It's exhausting.
When he brings it up, I walk away. Neither of us will be influenced by the other. Not sure he'd ever respect what I have to say anyhow.

Avoid the topic, and leave the conversation if you have to. This has been my life for over 10 years now. My parents were liberal and voted Dem their whole lives, until 9/11. Then Fox News came along and they got sucked in. My dad is a proud Trump supporter and it has taken me years to figure out how to have a reasonable conversation with him again, as he loves to talk politics. I have a steady stream of neutral topics that I bring up (sports, latest movies, stuff LO is up to, etc) to change the topic. When he persists, I physically leave the room if I can. It has taken awhile, but he has finally gotten the idea. He still loves to "tease" me about it but I shut it down immediately and we get along much better now.
