Believe me, that’s ultimately where this goes if he so chooses. I would be fine with it.
I have Political “disagreements” with some of my Wife’s Family as well, specifically her Sister and her Liberal Retired PHD College Professor Husband.
I choose to have as little contact with them as possible while being mindful of the Family dynamics. They are out of State and I see them in person maybe once a year, if that.
Let’s just say that they now know better than to challenge my take regarding the current Political landscape. Since the ascention of the Obama, any comment made to me is met with a quick and decisive response for which they have no defense outside of the usual “blame Bush” kneejerk reaction.
I feel for your situation since your Wife and Children are forced to play a major part in whatever actions you decide are necessary.
Funny how as a child I could never get my head around how the Civil War was able to turn Brother against Brother. Thanks to the great divide we have today, it seems like a more plausible premise than I would have ever imagined. I find myself using the term "Good Germans" when discussing people who support the current crop of Democrat Socialists running, or should I say ruining our Nation.
