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?
I have lost all respect for many of my family and colleagues who support Hitlery.
Not at all. But am certain that many readers would find this surprising.
Good evening.
“Just like the civil war.”
Yep, although CWII will make CWI look like a walk in the park on a warm spring day.

Harry Truman once said that you could not get rich working for the government, if you were honest. The Clintons have amassed over $250 million during their years of public employment, and want even more. Corrupt Hillary is a lying sick old crook, who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything she says and does, or causes to be said or done, must be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Her promises are worthless, unless they enrich her in some way. Her husband is a rapist and a pedophile whom she has actively enabled
Good for you. Fortunately I don’t have that problem, but if I did I would have told them off decades ago, LOL
Never try to teach pigs to sing. First, they can’t do it. Second, it annoys the pigs.
Family is about more than politics.
Liberal, lawyer (redundant) brother is not as bad, he keeps his deviant political views mostly quiet around me and in email.
Glad/Sad
Glad I’m not alone.....( hubby, daughter, me and ALL of you on this thread)
Sad it has come to this......indeed a Civil War......sister in law, and sadly my son
I, too, am tired of tiptoeing around on Facebook....
....I am a proud Deplorable and My Facebook friends know it.
.....and I have found my true friends......and lost some who I thought were my friends
I am more bold.....wearing my Trump shirt out and about....
....as well as my Trump pins...
....and my car bumper stickers!
As a schoolboy years ago I read a lot of civil war history. The part I could never get my young head around was the way families were divided against one another - brother against brother, as the cliche went. I could never understand how things could get so bad that even people in the same family would take opposite sides in a war of Americans against Americans.
I understand now.
I just stick with three adjectives, and nobody argues:
LYING
CORRUPT
CRIMINAL
All leftists understand that Hillary is those things. They don’t bother disputing them.
So, then I ask, would you prefer a Lying, Corrupt, Criminal, or a guy who occasionally says mean things?
That usually shuts them up.
If you’re going to argue at all, I would suggest hitting them on their issues:
“Hillary is a warmonger.” She toppled several stable governments that have been replaced by worse or by nothing at all. That includes Egypt, which is worse today than ever before. That includes Libya, which is a disaster because we gave ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorists hope that we would stand by or even help them, and we did both.
“Hillary is a bigot.” Look at her leaked emails. What does she call Hispanics when no one is listening? What does she call Arabs? What does she say about blacks? And Catholics? Hillary is the most blatantly racist candidate since George Wallace.
“Hillary is a predator who destroys women if it serves her agenda.” What did she do to the 12 y/o rape victim when she was ‘defending’ the rapist, and why did she laugh about it? What did she do to women that Bill Clinton raped (an action far worse than saying crude things or a quick grope, the worst credible accusation against Trump)? What did she do in her role leading the response to Bill’s “Bimbo eruptions” to dozens of women whose only sin was complaining when they were victimized?
Stay away from guns, God, and the flag, since leftist despise those. Instead, show them that even by their standards, Hillary is shockingly unacceptable.
Disowned awhile ago. They poke and jab and when I poke and jab back they document and hang it over my head. Finally drew the line when a family member sent me Howard Zinn’s book an told me it was fact.
I called my brother a hypocrite for saying he can’t vote for Trump because Trump has no morals and cheated on his wives.
I asked why it was ok for him to pay lots of money to watch Hollywood movies and subscribe to cable and go to rock concerts and cheer on sex addicts and drug addicts with no morals who sing about sex and act out sex scenes.
Then my brother said he wanted Trump to talk about the issues but all my brother wanted to do is say that Trump has low morals and is a jerk and didn’t say anything about any issues. Funny.
Good for you. I just attacked another Brit friend on FB - such ignorance. Do you know they don’t even know what wikileaks is (or are?)
As always it is going well with my family, all think about like I do politically, none will consider voting for Hillary. It is the same with all my friends.
Yup. That’s what they always do, Rad, because they are never up on the issues the way we are. I have always noticed this with libs - they’re ignorant of the issues of the day. So they use some stupid default position which further embarrasses them.
Yours or theirs?
I didn't particularly like either candidate, but other family members were violently for Bush or Gore.
I hope this election doesn't drag on for months like that one did.
All the males at the office are with me but none of the females, they all shun me.
