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?
That’s the way I feel about it too. I won’t argue with a liberal.....period. I tell them they’re too stupid for me to even talk to and am done.
Luke 12:4-5
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
I'm starting to understand why they weren't allowed to vote. Some are "intelligent", but almost all (except FR women, of course :) are completely clueless about the real world. It is a waste of time to have a political conversation with most of them because those conversations almost always devolve into inanity.
You are lucky.
My sisters and sister-in-law (5 people) unfriended me all at once on facebook after I expressed my opinion about dick durbin. I told another sister in law that I refuse to discuss politics with her because that would mean listening to her opinion and I have no interest in doing so. My mother told me that I was a disgrace to the family. All because I vote republican. I told my mother that her opinion of me won’t persuade me to vote dem. My mother used to start political conversations even after I requested that she not do so. Now, I will leave or turn the car around and bring her home after explaining I am not spending my time with someone who has no respect for my wishes. You are not alone.
“You dropping serious $$ to entertain family that comes and combats your politics is no way to go.”
That resonates as the truth. And it’s what I’ve seen too, though you’re putting it into words better than I ever did.
“Then he moved on her like a bitch, and grabbed her pussy :-) “
I don’t think that’s what the children are looking for when they ask about the birds and the bees... :)
I wrote a nephew out of my will for saying on Facebook Trump was a fascist.
“If it’s just me and hubby at the dinner table from now on, I don’t care.”
I certainly understand the situation you describe. My own family gathering this Thanksgiving will be five people fewer than in the past. I’ve decided I’m not going to worry about it. Life goes on.
“BTW, I am voting for Trump...”
Well thank goodness you cleared that up! :^)
“We are in a fight for our country and our future. It’s black and white. We see it. They don’t. It’s a political civil war!.... This is no time to be shy or hide! ....We FINALLY HAVE A LEADER WHO WILL FIGHT THEM WITH ALL HIS MIGHT! .... There’s no more TOMORROW... ITS NOW OR NEVER”
My best friend was all Obama, all the time..now we both are voting for Trump ....The Hillary hate in both of us is deep...How she came around,don’t know,don’t care....
My entire family are democrats...With exceptions..They hate open borders..I am the only conservative in the entire family..Don’t know how I survived this long...
Duct tape cannot fix stupid, but it can muffle it quite a bit.
Your brother works for the COMPOST? I am sorry, we do need another paper in the Lou.
All my family are conservatives. So no arguments.
I work in law enforcement and have friends that are voting against their own interests, even when confronting them with HIllary’s abject hate of police.
Lucky here, as well...not one single liberal/progressive ANYWHERE in my family at all...no liberal acquaintances, either. Life is too short to waste time on these people.
Do your best to love your family. Politics isn’t worth it. Not even close.
You are so wrong
This isn’t politics, and you know it!
This is slavery or free.
Try again.
