Since early January, I have seen posts, usually 3-5 per day, by one sibling on FB. I am not on FB, but my spouse is, so we can see the posts. They are 100% anti-Trump, but also with plenty of blustering about how only really stupid people would support Trump. Then my other 4 siblings and several cousins all add comments in agreement with this person’s posts.
Last year, we had a 4 sisters’ weekend, for the first time ever, living in 4 different states, we got together. I have to think, that if they wanted to do another one, I would either not be invited or I would decline, since it is so clear they all think I am some kind of evil monster.
Up until about November, we just never discussed politics at all. It seems clear to me that those days are in the past now. It makes me sad.
First, I’m very sorry for the situation in which you find yourself.
Second, remember is it live or Memorex? Social media bluster often is Memorex. I’ve seen one friend basically go off the rails in a lefty way on social media, but in-person they’re still cordial. This friend is in a very left-wing industry and I suspect the social media blather is to stay in good graces professionally.
I pray there is a future where you and your family can go back to normality. I’ll pray for you at Church tomorrow.
That’s pretty sad. I’m so happy that our family is 99% united re politics. (One gay nephew in SFO is an outsider, and one of his sisters, too.)
My mom’s funeral was last April, and it turned into a MAGA rally at the get-together after the service.
“Cousins’ Reunion” in 2022 was the same thing. Over 100 of us, from all over the world. (Some cousins were home on furlough from their foreign missions.)
