That actually works. At a family gathering at Christmas time, a few in the room started on Trump bashing, spouting the usual crap that they hear on social media or on late night TV. Without saying a word, I just picked up my drink and left the room. I didn't want to argue with them and spoil the day. It was Christmas and I was with family. To my surprise, other family members joined me and the loudmouths in the other room, having lost most of their audience, fell silent. The rest of the day, Trump was never mentioned by them again.
The sadness of the HRC supporters continues to this day.
“Shocking, I tell you, shocking!”
We have a small Classical Music Club in my development.
The leader is a dyed in the wool, life long liberal and has not had a meeting since November of 2016. The Dems seem to be in hibernation.
Listening to classical music can’t even lift the spirits of losers.
One week before the election I visited my brother and sister in Wisconsin. They both hated Trump. When they started bashing him I quietly left the room.
I’m so thankful I didn’t argue with my brother. This was the last time I saw my brother before he died 4 months later.
Been in that position with some of my kids. One won’t speak to us - and that was BEFORE the election. Wife and I are having a discussion about treating Liberals. I say confront them (I thought you were smarter than that); she says walk away (ignore them). Ongoing.
One is my aunt who used to be a typical, W Texas Yellow Dog Dem.
Hussein and HRC turned her into rabid liberal the last 3 years.
I have realized that I simply do not enjoy the company of relatives, close and far outish, who have not changed a bit over the many years I have known them. These days they blame Pres Trump for anything and everything that they can be aggrieved about. Healthcare for ailments that existed prior to his presidency. Financial problems due to their lifelong habits of overspending. On and on. Just democrats wanting to shove off their own shortcomings to Republicans in general and Trump in particular. They will never change so best to avoid confrontations. IMO.
Yes I agree
Loudmouth liberals should just be walked away from
Isn’t it amazing how people start spewing the same crap they hear about the president, and they feel so confident, as if they’re now so smart and are on the right side, in with the “in” crowd. If their minds were half the size of their mouths, they might have something worthwhile to say. Sorry, no offense to your relatives.
Great story, Sam. Thanks for what you did and for telling us about it.
