She just left, she got very heated and angry with me. We were debating the state of the economy and the effects on minorities and she started spewing vile curse words and invective on Christmas Day.
Wow. Threw the Christmas cake on the ground. She's 35-years old, works in finance in Morristown, NJ and New York City.
I'm perplexed this holiday season. Now, I just want to stay home and just watch TV or something. Should I bring them over again?
Anyway, Merry Christmas.
You got what you asked for by sitting down to have dinner with her. I have a sister like that. You can pick your friends but you cannot pick your relatives. Dump her!
This happens in many families and friendships. Some ignore it, some engage, and some are conflicted as to how to handle it. Many of the comments here reflect that.
My solution, anyone that is disrespectful does not belong in my life, family or not. Focus on the underlying truth, a person that respects you would never be disrespectful regardless of the subject. People can disagree while being respectful. Blaming their behavior on TDS, ideology, politics, or otherwise has nothing to do with their underlying dislike of you. Why bother with someone that has no respect for you, your guests, and your home?
And it's real.
whats with people. didn’t a FReeper have a liberal relative steal a turkey at Thanksgiving? NO, she should not come back until she apologizes for ruining a cake. Maybe if this had been broccoli.... that ii could forgive.
We’re having Christmas with EXTREME lefties! We have no mentioned politics or current events at all. So far so good.
It’s not crap, its reality.
We must now conclude that the german Nazi’s did not see themselves as being totalitarian thugs in the wrong, at the time. What a shock. Lol. This is illustrated in real time by modern day progressives who do not view themselves as being totalitarian thugs in the wrong. They are not wrong and not totalitarian. No way. No how. And they will throw cake on your carpet to prove their point. Lol.
She did throw the cake to the ground. I had to clean my kitchen, because she broke the glass container as well. I never saw her so angry before.
Woulda been pointing and laughing and dialing their cell phones as they tried to escape!!
Cut all ties of her and her family’s existence. Eliminate them from your speed dial, Christmas card list, etc. Allow her/them to be the one who might attempt contact.
Believe me, you will sleep much better, your blood pressure will be ‘safe’ once again.
Final step, pray for her. If she has a spark within her heart, she will (also) be thinking of her inappropriate reactions. It might take a year, or perhaps 10. But during those years you live a life free of her and the childlike reactions.
Merry CHRISTMAS!
Merry Christmas to you. Sorry you had this happen. Forgive me for asking and all due respect but does this person have a history of this kind of behavior? Mind you I’m not mental health expert but it seems to me your cousin, an adult , has exhibited this kind of behavior all their life, would I be correct in assuming this?
Bubble wrap the Next Cake!
I think this is VERY INSTRUCTIVE to the people on this site. She’s at a relative’s house and trashes it, out of political anger over a person that neither she or the homeowner has any control over (to speak of).
Here’s what we must learn:
1) People in that mental state are simply deranged and CANNOT be won over. About all that can be done is to do EVERYTHING possible to keep them out of power...in my case, I’m giving half of my estate to conservative organizations (such as Federalist, and Judicial Watch), rather than my kids. The money will be MUCH BETTER SPENT there.
2) These people can EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. What you are seeing is the same mindset that sent millions to their deaths in the genocides throughout world history. Anyone who would tear up a relative’s home over a political difference that neither of them has any responsibility over or can change, is PERFECTLY CAPABLE of sending strangers that they disagree with to their deaths. Like it or not, you are no longer human to her. You are something that needs to be reformed, or put down.
3) Because of the danger they pose, they can NEVER be allowed to take power. For if they do, each of us conservatives here will have to make some very hard choices that we should never have to make in this country - which will be (1) Stand and fight, and likely be killed in the process; (2) Permanently leave the country; (3) Do nothing and then get rounded up to be re-educated (i.e., tortured, quite possibly to death). Your cousin may not pull the trigger or be the one doing the torturing, but she won’t have any issue with it happening either, and she likely will be willing to turn in people she hates - possibly you, depending on just how bad she has it.
4) ANYTHING that we do to EMPOWER them directly (such as voting for them, or Manchin, for that matter), or indirectly (such as bitching that the Republican is a RINO and therefore voting Libertarian or sitting out elections), simply helps make that day come earlier. Sure, Susan Collins is not a ‘perfect’ Republican, but she does vote for EVERY JUDGE that Trump has put forward, and the ONLY WAY that we’ll be able to keep your cousin and her types from doing the above is to maintain control of the courts. To put it another way, it time WE GROW UP and allow ourselves to know and understand just how SERIOUS this threat is. It is deadly serious and yes, they will come for us - they ALWAYS have. And that’s the difference between us and them - we’re happy to leave them alone if they disagree with us, but they will NEVER allow the same for people who disagree with them...they NEVER have, throughout history, and they never will.
Nope. She was already angry, all that happened was the mask slipped.
At some level she knows that is true, but she cannot permit herself to consciously see it.
Let it Snow,
Let it Snow,
Let it Snow!
It’s on the Radio Alot!
Battle Stations!
Should I bring them over again?
