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.
I once lost a budding romance because I refused to go vegan. Not the same, but still........
That sucks. Let her go. You can't change people. If she changes and comes back....take her back.
MSNBC is a serious problem, nevermind the other networks.
Wife watches it. She’s been brainwashed about Trump and what’s going to happen to this country with him as President. She’s also a Detroit Democrat, no helping her (waahh).
I strongly suspect baby sister watches it too. She’s not on speaking terms with the rest of the family right now. She’ll calm down and start speaking again eventually. Been down this road before.
Some of the MSNBC sneaks into my hearing on occasion. What they’re speaking seems designed to scare hell out of anybody listening to them. I have to remind her periodically nothing is likely to happen here - Flyover Country, small town, Bright Red population.
I am prepared for contingencies...
Recognize she’s trying to manipulate you by imposing a guilt trip and remind yourself you control you.
send her this: https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1854717077837562314
and ask her if she thinks this guy is acting like “a misogynist and A Nazi, nationalist “ Leave it hanging in the air.
Her having a problem with Christians seems the root of all the other issues, so just pray for her. Jesus will open her eyes or not, but it’s out of your hands.
hat tip Weasles for posting the video
If any of these disowning relatives are pro-abortion tell them to go to hell because that’s where they’re going anyway.
At least she’s still alive; I lost my sister 10 years ago and I miss her, but I will see her again, praise God! Where there’s life, there’s hope.
Well, actually the majority of Trump’s baggage is BS to begin with.
Good strategery.
I lost all three of my adult children all daughters to wokeism.
I’m sorry that you’re going through this.
If you can communicate with her, just let her know you love her and will always be there for her.
In time she may find wisdom or at least become willing to put family over politics.
Sorry about losing your sister to politics, it should never get between family members but, alas, as your story goes,cut does happen.
Don’t backtrack on your beliefs but always leave the door open to reconciliation.
Hope the best for you both.
What should make you sad is that your sister has become mentally weak, can’t think for herself, no critical thinking skills!! The fact that she feels this way about you is not nearly as important as the fact that she has become completely brainwashed!! You need to pray for her every chance you have a free moment just ask God in that moment to step in and help your sister regain her own thinking skills!!
Co-dependency Issues:
* Daddy issues. No man figure, single mother role model.
* Zero trust in man-figure if single like mom.
* Single, Man will not take me. Personal, very personal. Silopsism, Emotional, rejected by man-figure and/or mom “trained” me, “that ________”
* “We” are the State, “keep your hands off me”
Her extreme mental illness is not on you. Perhaps help her seek professional help. Or leave her to her madness, lest it adversely affect you.
It’s good you decided to be yourself instead of continuing to play the role of an “enabler”. Her anger is misdirected so she can continue to allow herself to remain in the fantasy that is the glass house she is so unaware that she has become captive to.
You cannot pretend to be what you are not just to please others. True love and friendships that last cannot be built on an unsound foundation of false facades and untruths.
You are free of that burden because you now refuse to bend to her “conditions”. It may feel horrible now and you can continue to try to reach out and hope that one day she may see the value in the love of her family more than the acceptance of a group that will throw you away if you don’t conform to their conditions to belong.
Unfortunately as they say, you can drag a horse to water but you can’t make it drink but that also means only you can decide if that effort is in vain or worth the effort to fight for.

I’m so sorry for this loss you have endured.

JD Vance had some great advice on not letting politics ruin your relationships. “Don’t cast aside family and long-time friends. Politics is not worth it.”
It's not entirely her fault. The media is to blame.
Pray for her to wake up.
I’d send her a Christmas fruitcake just to be mean to her and sends the message that she’s a fruitcake.
