Why It's OK to Throw Your Blue-Haired Pinko-in-Law Out of Your Life for Good (GREAT VIDEO)

I've gotten over the "turn the other cheek" approach when it comes to dealing with Marxists I am somehow still friendly with.

I used to find self-respect in my belief that I was open-minded enough to hobnob with people who have differing political viewpoints. I'm over that now.

The political views that once divided us were usually, at least, Constitutional. Today, a huge chunk of the nation is happy to vote for a party that has:

been busted spying on the Trump campaign censored Americans who think for themselves allowed a Chinese spy balloon to fly over our military bases taken mad stacks from nations around the world

(FACT-O-RAMA! The House Oversight Committee determined that the Biden Crime Family hoovered roughly $27 million from nations including China, Russia, and Ukraine.)

illegally destroyed J6 evidence before Republicans could have a look at it allowed street animals to riot and burn their own toilet towns tried to force us to get a bogus vaccine redefined the word "vaccine" because it didn't work illegally persecuted their leading political opponent with bogus show trials

If I were a petty man I would also add there is also a ton of evidence that President Figer-diddle, Gropey Joe Biden, showered with his young daughter Ashley. Am I that petty?

(PETTY MAN-O-RAMA! Ashley Biden's diary mentions taking "probably not appropriate" showers with her dad, Joe Biden. The lefty loonies tried to pretend the diary wasn't hers, yet the FBI kicked in the doors of journalists who had seen it. Weird, right?)

Like you, I've been called a racist, bigot, and this-and-that-ophobe because I refuse to be one of those easily controlled jackpuddings who swallow and regurgitate Marxist codswallop, such as "men can give birth."

I am very grateful for President Trump for getting these people to take off their masks, throw them on the ground, and stomp on them.

I cut off some people who showed me their true colors and life has been better ever since. No more placating menchildren and womenchildren.

Once you know someone is a Democrat, it is best never to trust them in any matter of importance and if they cannot be totally avoided, maintain only the most superficial of relationships if and only if it is absolutely necessary.

What does everyone do if they have more liberal type people in your extended family? Which makes it difficult to avoid them completely?

I just told them it’s best if we don’t talk politics.... and we don’t. They aren’t crazed leftists, just old style Dems that will never see the light. If they were crazed leftists, it would be a different story.

With my liberal family members I generally engage them directly and try to make them feel stupid, frustrated and defeated.

As Saul Alinsky said ““Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon”

You should try it.

Also...any time they try to quote CNN, NYT...or some other left wing propganda....ask them (the family member) how long it took them to figure out CNN was lying to them about the Russian collusion hoax....or the Hunter Biden laptop...

And then ask them why they are not only stupid enough to watch known propoganda source that lied to them...but actually still quote from them as if they gave facts.

Another good avenue of attack is asking them why they support little kids having their genitals removed and getting pumped full of hormones at the slightest hint of gender confusion.

Destroy them.

I make it clear to friends and family that I am a staunch conservative who worships the ground Trump walks on. And that there is almost nothing that they believe that I believe. And with that statement, I add that I love them dearly and that I will continue to love them regardless of their beliefs or their votes. And that I will NEVER hear a single negative word about Trump. In return, I will not argue with them over their beliefs. With those topics off the table, we’ll stay with the ones that hold us together.

So far that has worked perfectly. Trump is a sacred subject for me and I ignore the idiocies in their articles of faith. I’ve kept every friend and family member because we hold to the red lines of conversation.

I like the way you think. We really ought to use Alinsky’s “rules for radicals” more often to our advantage.

As a general rule I have goal for their ride home....and it can go two ways.

The first way, is them riding home rip roaring mad, yelling an complaining about me and my politics. This is the less desirable endstate...but still ok...because it reasserts the fact that if they come at me or anyone for that matter with their politics in a family gathering scenario...I will ruin their day.

The second and better endstate, is that me engaging them directly causes them to have a quite ride home. That means they are thinking about what i said the them. This in when minds are changed and things outside of their echo chamber are considered.

“They aren’t crazed leftists, just old style Dems that will never see the light.”

The fact that they will never see the light makes them crazed leftists.

That's right because there are former leftists/dems who HAVE seen the light and were willing to change their minds.

Think, Elon Musk, RFK Jr; Tulsi Gabbard.......

I have immediate family members who *HATE* Trump with a burning passion. A friend and I got into a discussion around one of them and not even mentioning Trump but just the situation in Israel, IIRC, got the iciest stare and demeanor from that person.

Fortunately that person lives in another state hours away and we only see once or twice a year.

So I'm cutting ties slowly and gradually.

Unless there's another death in the family, I think those relationships are going to be history. Kind of sad, actually, that family makes politics such an issue, but that's not my call.

I had an airing of grievances with a relative today, initiated by an unsolicited, “He’s going to kill our democracy!” e-mail.
Followed by a peck of MSM lies (”He insulted our soldiers!” etc.) parroted by her. Regurgitated, like Harris.
So I used her MSM (Snopes, MSN, CNN) as clickable cites to discredit every bogus claim made.
At this point I’m fed up with nodding and smiling.
It’s Feats of Strength time. I can’t handle any more of their lying.

The way I see the post-civilized Left, all leftists, all leftwingers must be avoided at nearly any cost because the major tenets of their belief system; abortion, wealth redistribution, green agenda, and "gender" reassignment of children, are demonic. One must never have anything to do with evil people or evil things.

I too, got sick of remaining silent when leftwing relatives/friends were spouting off their ridiculous and hate-filled bullshit. So I stopped doing that and started giving it back. Within a short period of time I had no more leftwing friends or relatives in my life. It is great!

If you're struggling trying to hold on to a relationship with a leftist consider this: If what leftists believe becomes unopposed, national policy, you'll likely be spending your life sidelined, blacklisted, living in fear, or in a "re-education" camp, or buried under thousands of bodies in a pit somewhere, because in the end, secretly and not-so-secretly, that's what so many leftists want for folks like us.

'Eff them all.

Yep.... if they’re Democrat, they’re either what I call politically evil or they are just plain too stupid to have any useful input on anything

Good article.

We’ve had an understanding in our family for years - no politics at family gatherings. Period. Has worked great.

I know some liberals and have some in my family where we don’t talk about it much. And I don’t see it so much as they don’t believe the same things I believe - they just see the solutions the wrong way.

I happened to watch an old “Ted Talk” by JD Vance and he spoke about growing up poor and the opportunities that he had. Lots of facts and figures, and some rough ideas on solving the problems. Homegrown solutions such as education, mentors, etc.

He didn’t mention it, but I thought those are the same problems that the leftists say they are concerned about - but their solution just involves tossing more money at the poor and making them more dependent on government which gives the government more power. Which is the leftists’ REAL goal.

Of course my liberal friends and relatives don’t see that.

I’m guessing that she just sent you an email that had been sent to her from some sort of leftist spamming operation. Being a good sheep she passed it along. Probably didn’t even read it.
