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?
BTT
Two exceptions, a marxist cousin and spouse who will waste the vote on the nowhere libertarian since she thinks Don is some kind of power mad dictator and doesn’t like the harridan since she is the harridan.
They have a personal problem because there is nothing wrong with us.
My in-laws are Canadian, so I’m not too worried.
Still annoying that they’re pro-clinton because they don’t like Trump, having bought all the B.S. that the media sends across the border.
Just like the civil war.
It works both ways we don’t like their prime minister and he is worse than Hillary!
It’s hard. I’m lucky in that my family agrees with me but none of my friends do. I tolerate only so much and then after the second scotch-on-the-rocks, level them with the force of my wit and intelligence. They are rarely up on the news.
Yesterday, I took on a dumb Brit on FB who promptly unfriended me when I schooled her about Hillary and her rape victim and the anarchy of rape evidence before the law set in to attempt to shield the victims. She didn’t know what hit her.
To use a Britism - get the boot in; they’ll never know what’s hit them.
My wife, her brothers, my mother and I: conservatives
My sister, her husband and sons: all liberal, but not ideological, just clueless, even though all are highly educated and very successful.
We just don’t talk about politics. And since we see my sister and her family only once or twice a year there’s plenty to talk about besides politics.
WW II dual parent survivors here.
Off spring 2 boys 2 girls.
Go figure
2 Boys Trump
2 Girls Clinton
My wife and I are infuriating the old and feeble minded liberals within our family. They can not be saved. Hillary could eat a live baby on the steps of the White House and they would say she needed the iron. Our hope has to be with the youth and those still working. The youth need to know that they owe tens of trillions in debt thanks to the criminal politicians.
The truth will divide families. Even Jesus acknowledged this.
Be nice.
When I was a McGovern supporter the family laughed at me... but behind my back.
Of course it’s easier to tolerate young fools. We’ve all been there.
I’ve had to put up with family members sitting at my dinner table, eating my food, drinking my booze, and ranting against Republicans, Donald Trump, the Catholic Church. Our home has always been open door hospitality during holidays, but not anymore.
My kids are middle aged and 2 of them are libs,3 are not.
We just don’t discuss politics when we are together.
They are all very good to me and I like to keep that in mind.
The grandkids,with 1 exception,are libs.
Very nice families can have mixed religions,ethnicites,races,or political persuasions.

I wrote off a first cousin and her husband back in 2006. I will not put up with communists in my family. I also do not care if they hate me - they are my enemy as they actively work against me, my family’s well being, and everything I believe in.
The Deplorables in my family hang together and ignore the rest. We don’t care, either.
Everyone comes to our house for the good free food and booze and beautiful tablescapes. It usually costs us between $500 to $1000 to accommodate all the family members.
If it’s just me and hubby at the dinner table from now on, I don’t care.
Our family is split. We don’t talk politics at all when we get together. Family before politics.
