Husband and I are the only conservatives and Trump supporters in my large extended left wing family. We have always been quiet when family idiots start braying against Republicans, conservatives, Trump, etc.
No more. I'm done with the ignorant fools in my family. I'm taking them on in person and on Facebook and I imagine they all hate me at this point--including my brother, who is an executive at the St. Louis Post Dispatch. What's new is I DON'T CARE anymore if they hate me and never speak to me again.
I've told them "This is Total War, and we are on opposite sides. You are with the enemy and you are now the enemy."
How is it going with your families and family dinner discussions LOL?
Bless you and your husband. May the Lord keep you strong during this onslaught that we are facing from all the institutional forces aligned against us. We must not give up the fight, regardless of what happens in November......
Remind them that Hillary wants to raise the inheritance tax to 65%
Then tell them you are spending every cent now rather than give all that money to the government.
Once they see their inheritance disappearing they'll put a Trump sign on their lawn.
Take that money and go on the dream family trip over the holidays where you laugh and have a carefree time while the rest of your libtard relatives get used to a celebration that is something less than what they've grown accustomed too.
Reading the comments here I’m a little concerned. Sounds like the liberal relatives outnumber the conservatives in most families.
Gave up discussing politics with family after 1980 election.
Friends after 1992 election.
Liberals are no logic zone.
My kids are pretty conservative.
My extended family though, well, we get along OK, but they all live so far away, the closest it 3 hours the next is 6, so we just don’t see them very often or talk politics when we do.
But I know they are almost all leftist leaning libs. I would honestly be surprised if more than just a few voted for Trump.
It's not like Trump even said mean things.
As for the tapes, so many people think that he admitted to groping women. He did NOT.
What he said is that those women will let you do anything you want to them, even to grabbing them (where their hands do not belong). He simply stated a fact about what goes on in those circles of the rich and famous.
Trump is not mean. He's honest and speaks his mind.
And if people are offended, that's their problem.
When women got the right to vote it would have worked better for men to elect one senator, women elect the other senator, women vote for pres every 8 years and same with men and men/women alternate voting for congress.
—not only the Clintons, I want to know where politicians who have never earned a dime other than tax payers money, such as Paul Ryan live in a gated community and a former high school coach Dennis Haster who paid millions in hush money get their money-—I’m a both sides hating conservative.
That's some hard teaching.
(I previously posted this on 10/4/16):
Sadly, I now hate my extended family. It’s official. They are dead to me, and I do not say that in jest, but as a bitter, elderly Jewish man, which I am not. Not Jewish, anyway.
Love was not enough to create a commonality between us; their extremist leftist views (which they parrot without any understanding or critical thought) makes them just like all the other credulous mouth breathers that would destroy what I cherish and value most.
It did not happen all at once; it was a dawning of understanding over time. When my wealthy aunt proclaimed solidarity with OWS even though they would wear her skin as a coat it killed me a little inside.
My wealthy cousin lives in a gated community on the side of a mountain in CA, and is horrified that I seek to insulate myself from the violence of the underclass that lives mere blocks from my family. In his mind I should embrace that diversity, and I am a racist ass hole for not doing that.
When having a dialog with my father he reverts, literally, to “war is bad” with no desire to understand the complexities of our world or to acknowledge that peace without justice is neither.
And don’t get me started on my gay brother. He has morphed into a hateful militant homo who has no use for “breeders” and holds heterosexuals in utter contempt. He never leaves his homo world and lives surrounded by either homos or those that fawn over that lifestyle.
Thank you for letting me vent. A part of me has died, and it has caused me great sadness.
This is not true. He even said if he could keep America together and keep slavery, he would do it.
The civil war was about money, power, taxation, and control.
Slavery was a small subset of the taxation issue.
No matter what the result is on November 8, I hope my wife’s ultra left wing, Columbia grad, liberal, NYC metrosexual douchebag, know-it-all, brother-in-law opens his big mouth on Thanksgiving Day. I am then going to knock his teeth right out of his stupid head!!
I commend you on the fire in your belly!
You think it is rough for you? I have a bull dyke SIL.
I’ve had enough of these liberals and their crap!
President Abraham Lincoln published the Emancipation Proclamation on 1 January 1863 - during the middle of the Civil War that went on - over slavery - from 1861 to 1865. And now, TODAY, Donald Trump is essentially going to clean up things and produce JOBS for those who are, substantially, welfare-slave Americans.
All three of my dear daughters voted for Hillary.
The youngest is so incensed that we voted for Trump that she unfriended us on Facebook, blocked us on her phone, and will only communicate with us via email. She says she’s ashamed of us and we are not up to her moral standards.
I got a card in the mail today: a thank you from Planned Parenthood. Apparently my daughter made a donation to them in my name.
Not sure how to fix a cleft that wide and deep.
