I think the better question is “Have your conservative views cost you relationships with your RELATIVES?”
I know and am even friendly to liberals. But they are not a part of my life like a relative.
None of my immediate family are libs. Some cousin in-laws and one SIL are and I never go around them, never. I stay home for weddings and reunions on that side of the family.
I am very serious when I say I do not associate with libs. When forced to at work I only talk on point about task at hand and avoid ALL office functions.
Not really, as I didn't have much contact with that entire side of the family to begin with. Can't miss what you didn't have.
My brother-in-law a staunch Liberal who voted for Obama has a gay daughter to which he isn't happy about. He lives in Brooklyn and I live in Florida we haven't spoken to each other in years I just got tired of trying to show him the way but according to my wife (his sister) he now is starting to maybe see the light. Will wait for him to make the first move towards reconciliation if that is possible. wont hold my breath.
