Several years ago I told my in laws if Hitler had a (D) next to his name they would vote for him. And we are Jewish.
That took a few years to heal.
Most of my family is conservative already. That said, I have a lot of Mormons on moms side and I’ve made it clear that I think McMullin’s stunt is dangerous and foolhardy. And yes, I’m where I’m not worried if they like my position or not.
We have a neighbor who has treated me like the unwanted
stepchild over the CLINTONS. The Democrat Party is his
religion. He started in with me when I stopped by their
house one day in an emergency. Got on his high horse about
how I should agree with him that “THEY need to LEAVE THAT
MAN ALONE!” I LEFT ASAP and have not been back there since.
He was polite to me the last time we ran into him in the
Walmart parking lot several months ago. (He has expressed
TOTAL love and admiration for HUSSEIN OBAMA & the GREAT
job he has done.\s) I guess he has to justify his vote for
Obama; but he can keep his piehole shut around me as he
won’t respect me voicing my opinion. So, I can just avoid
trouble by keeping AWAY from them. (Fang and I would at
least spit on him if he were on fire; but I sincerely
doubt that Hussein would even do that.)
I dont talk to my brother because he’s a liberal asshole. No really. I dont. Most of my family members are libtards and the dinner table during Christmas looks like downtown Baghdad after the talk turns to politics.
It gets so bad that no one wanted to exchange gifts lol
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.
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.
(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.
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!!
You think it is rough for you? I have a bull dyke SIL.
