They have politicized everything from food to bathrooms. Because of their ignorant secular atheist humanist, and yes- fascist philosophy, we cannot escape the “conversations.”
I struggle everyday in my Christian journey to remain kind, humble and forgiving, as I encounter stupidity, arrogance, slothfulness. Family and friends are no exception.
“...injection of corrosive poisonous political divisiveness into the very fabric and breath of everyday live, including friendships and families.”
Determining whether to continue in a family relationship I guess is dependent on the nature of the offense, the desire and capacity to forgive, whether change has occurred so as the offense does not continue, and setting appropriate boundaries.
More broadly, injecting corrosive poisonous political divisiveness into everything is offensive. It rises to the level of offense when the injector repeatedly attempts to control others, including ad hominem attacks, refusal to respect others. The injector has thus made it clear that the relationship isn’t valuable enough to him. So why perpetuate mutual unhappiness?
I have a relative whose political view of the world was formed during the 1960s rebellion movement and has been frozen in time. Nonetheless, things remain civil, he doesn’t control the conversation, and never is there disrespect. I have succeeded in different areas though to get him to see things aren’t the leftist truth that he sees on tv.
My bottom line is knowing relationships are worth keeping, which need to be excised, and having the wisdom to know when it is time to move on - from the conversation or from the relationship.
