I've lost my.sister (vanity)

me | Hoagy62

[hoagy62]

My uber-lib sister te,Ted me today asking.me to honestly tell.her if I voted for Trump. I replied to her what my late mother-in-law used to tell pollsters and others who asked who she was going to vote for, "I voted by secret ballot".

She sent me a screed describing in detail what was going to happen to the world and to women, now that Trump was going to be in office.

She never wants to speak to me again, as she now thinks I'm a misogynist, A Nazi, and a Christian Nationalist. I have been trying to keep peace between me and her, but this blew that to smithereens.

It does make me very sad.

[Darksheare]

Sorry about that.

[lastchance]

How old is your sister?
Is this type of overreaction typical for her?
Have you always been political polar opposites?

I ask because I really have wonder if her behavior is based less on political differences and more on possible dementia.

I am sorry for your loss. But remember it was HER choice.

[NEMDF]

So sorry to hear this. I believe I am being cut off by my 3 sisters and 2 of my 3 brothers. Looks like my eldest sister has unfriended my husband on FB today. I am not on FB. This relationship termination (not the FB issues) has made me very sad, as well. I had always tried to avoid political discussions over the past few years, but she poked at me a few weeks back about Mark Milley calling DJT a fascist, and we had a couple exchanges. I believe the points I made were sane and rational, but she wasn’t having it. Stuff about he’s a fascist, racist, dictator wanna-be, etc., etc. You have my sympathy. I don’t know what the answer is. I don’t think we can “win” (reinstating a positive relationship), unless we disown our own beliefs and convictions, and I don’t see that as an option.

[definitelynotaliberal]

I’m sorry to hear that.

These last couple of days, I’ve seen and heard liberal women jump down the throats not just of Republicans, but even each other. Dems armed that bomb and now, it’s going to detonate in their own homes. I can’t say I feel sorry for them, but you do certainly have this childless (per biology, not choice) cat lady’s sympathies.

[Kudsman]

It happens. It ALWAYS Kamalas.

I couldn't resist. Please don't hate me.

[frog in a pot]

She sent me a screed describing in detail what was going to happen to the world and to women, now that Trump was going to be in office.

Well, this is family and you may have an opportunity to resolve the issue. Save her detailed screed and in a few years ask her if Trump has done any of the items or has even started to take action on any.

This with your sister may be an easy lift, imagine what it must be like for those men who are married to Harris supporters who have pledged to shave their heads and not have sex.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Thank God she is still alive. Where there is life there is hope. Her nerves are too raw at the moment, but when the time is right, reach out to her. Keep her in your prayers. There is more to life than elections. I will say prayers for the both of you. Family is the core of a strong society.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

She never wants to speak to me again, as she now thinks I'm a misogynist, A Nazi, and a Christian Nationalist.

Tell her if Garbage won the election, what does that make her?

[zipper]

I’m sorry for this - always hope she’ll put family over politics someday.

I don’t understand how all these women in the rage videos are swearing off men, because they blame men for denying their easy access to abortion. The issue went to the states, that’s it. That’s the way it should be. The Constitution is meant to limit the federal government, not the states. The decision did not limit women’s access to abortion unless a particular state already has limits.

Then again if they swear off men no innocent child will be aborted in their own womb, and that’s good news.

[Wuli]

A sister of mine just got out of the hospital the day after the election. At one point she said “I have not seen the news yet”. I said “so what”. She said “Well who won the election”. I said “Trump”. She said “Oh hell, the country is going to be ruined”. I said “No. It is going to be saved”. She hung up.

[mairdie]

You handled it correctly by not telling her your vote.

I’d send her screed back to her with some kind message that this unkindness, and any future ones, will never be accepted by you and will always be returned, but that you’re always open to being there for her when she comes to you with love and that she will always receive love in return.

And if she sends back a nasty in her turn, I’d return that one as well with the identical message. And all future ones identical, in the hope that one day she would, for whatever reason of her own, send you love.

Never accepting nastiness but always willing to accept love.

[TheDon]

Sorry for your loss. Hang in there, be patient. Don’t take it personally, although it may seem very personal.

Some are more susceptible to the psychological warfare we’ve been subjected to than others. Give your sister time to see through the brainwashing.

Have hope. I believe it will happen because the next several years will be much better than the last several years.

Something that’s been around awhile and is good to revisit.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Gospel LK 14:25-33
Great crowds were traveling with Jesus,
and he turned and addressed them,
“If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.
Which of you wishing to construct a tower
does not first sit down and calculate the cost
to see if there is enough for its completion?
Otherwise, after laying the foundation
and finding himself unable to finish the work
the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’
Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
and decide whether with ten thousand troops
he can successfully oppose another king
advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
But if not, while he is still far away,
he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
In the same way,
everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple.”

[Kenny Bania]

Just give her space and let her blow off steam. In time, there’s probably a good chance she’ll come around.

[CatOwner]

Sadly, as the saying goes, you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. I say that as someone who did not speak with his father for the last 15 years of his life (he only lived to be 56 years old - long story). Any such attempts would have required *all* of the sacrifices to be made by myself. Thankfully, the rest of my family was there for support.

[Zathras]

The day may come when she realizes she was wrong.
Already many liberals are realizing they were lied to by Obama and his minions.
Hang in there.

[frogjerk]

I thought you were saying she was deceased. She is still alive so be grateful for that. Pray she comes around.

[tet68]

My sister gave me a big rant too.
Only thing she left out was the Rosicrucian's and the Rothschild's...Sad, but then what ya gonna do...

[philman_36]

Sounds like an anchor that was holding you in the river broke lose.
You can drift downstream with the current, rudder in hand now,
and your course is in your own hands.
