I’m from a mixed political extended family. Blood’s thicker than politics with us. It’s how we were raised. If someone disowned a family member due to politics it would be considered unacceptable across the board with all wings. It’s just how it is here.
That’s sort of like mine, but we all know the elephant is still in the room. I don’t like the idea family members come together guarded that way.....but as usual when truth is spoken those who want to believe a lie will walk away or attempt to silence the discussion.
I make a point not to raise issues that would bring conflict...but they eventually do. So when they open the discussion I will speak the truth...it’s not long before they see their lies cannot stand...and it is always them that cease the discussion when they get uncomfortable.
