I will continue to pray for them, but I'm perfectly OK with moving on in life with very limited contact with them. The fact that they think I'm extreme because I like Donald Trump, the 2A, and our American culture is toxic bullshit.
I will not pretend to enjoy my time around brown-shirt, obedient, commie retards. Family or no family. I wish them the best. Life goes on.
^ This 100%.
I've noticed that there's a lot of pressure from the females in my family for "everyone to just get along. Don't talk about politics. Keep the peace. We all love each other."
That's what they want, but it's not the reality. Thanksgiving and Christmas this year were excruciating. Crying, fighting, and all kinds of bullshit. Why should I put myself through that? Why do I have to force myself to get along with people I don't agree with?
My cousin robbed my grandmother of all her jewelry but I'm supposed to just keep on loving her because "we're family!"
No. No. I'm done. Family doesn't have to be blood related. Find the others like you and you'll be happier.
In my family we talk politics and religion like the weather. We all differ but we all respect each other. My wife’s family doesn’t discuss them at all and it’s so bizarre to me.
I've long thought there's a massive difference between being related to someone, and being their family.
I will be your sister...
Can you be my sister, too?
Sure! We'll have a "real" based family reunion!! When the dust settles on all of this, I really think we should have a party!
Yes, we should have a MAGAnificent BBQ cookout.
Only crying at Christmas for me was when my younger cousin shot me in the eye with a nerf ball and I chased him until he cried to his parents.
