I feel bad for people who don’t get along with their family over politics. I guess I’m lucky I have one aunt who sends out the typical memes and emails (she’s conservative but it’s still annoying) but the rest of us are pretty chill and wouldn’t hold political differences against each other.
I’m more than a little surprised and in turn PO’d by the post election vitriol from lefty relatives “friends” and acquaintances. Difference is, some of them should be suspended\fired for the cruel thoughts expressed but as many are cosseted in govt\academia they won’t even get a warning. People who I’ve known for years and know my character all of a sudden are calling me the usual list of lib epithets. I’m dropping\unfriending the non-family haters, and putting those it would be more difficult to drop, like one of my cousins and a particularly noxious co-worker who has been harassing me in front of other co-workers for months, at a more limited level of contact.
The handwringing over the Electoral College as if they had never heard of it and dismissal of the notion that Mme. Bobblehead received any fraudulent votes makes it even more frustrating.
