Yes, I have lost a whole swath of siblings and cousins that are ultra-leftist elitists, who know more that I do. But my Godly friends are based AF. They are my true family.
That's tough OP, I can't imagine losing my relationship with my family. Hopefully one day you guys can put political opinions aside and salvage your relationship. In the end, it's not worth it, and sometimes it takes time for people to make the realization. Best of luck.
I am sorry you are going through this type of thing with your family. Sending good thoughts your way.
I have been through something somewhat similar. It hurts to find out relatives are not what you thought they were.
Yeah, my family (parents) lost to CNN. They were lifelong Republicans (Funny I was a Dem when they were Republicans). My parents are still on good terms with me, they know Ill tell them Biden is a pedophile at the drop of a hat. Brother is total libtard, our relationship is like the 1980 US/USSR hockey team shaking hands before the game. Just speak your mind, if they cannot deal with it, so be it. Just be quick and to the point, Joe is a Pedo, I dont like Pedos. Let them argue with that. Works better for me than politics with people who think Joe is fucking "Healing the nation".
Same for me with my dad! I was a Democrat when he voted Bush in 2004. He used to be a moderate with somewhat conservative values ten years ago, but now he's a leftist for some reason. My mom put him through a divorce around 10 years ago. They got back together, but he's been different ever since. This really showed once Trump was running. He used to make fun of liberals.
holy hell, you may be better off without that stress. they don't seem one bit reasonable nor are willing to hear you out. dennis prager said that republicans are rarely invited for debates at colleges because of how unreasonable leftists choose to be. they're afraid of becoming red-pilled.
If it were me and you cared about your relationship with your parents. Maybe just apologise and admit you (fake of course) were wrong. Frame this more around China bring the bad guy than the Democrats. This is where we’ll end up any way.
It’s the divide the Democrats are doing which is causing the most damage. When they’re this polarised, they will refuse to hear you out.
Look at Donald trump. He says nice things about both sides to stop the fighting and the divide becoming worse.
Then one you have the regained trust. You have four years of drip feeding Biden bullshit in. Take it slow. If you rush it they’re cognitive dissonance kicks in, they drive themselves mad and angry and ignore everything you have to say anyway.
I divorced my wife when she laughed at Trump coming down the escalator.
Seriously? What did you have to give her?

I am sorry that have to deal with this.
No, fortunately we are all on the same team
My sister who I was very close to stopped speaking to me on Jan 6th because I disagreed with her. It fucking hurts.
She is the antithesus of a mother.
Yep. Lost fam to the commies decades ago, during Reagan days. Lost my oldest friend to TDS in the last election.
It sucks.
Lost friends. Parents are deceased DEMOCRATS!
Refuse liberalism

These issues transcend politics.
Haven't got a friend in the world. For years now.

It's been going on atleast 5 years.

There is a thing with boomers. Trump is like kryptonite to them.
A couple of people. Not my parents, thank God, but a couple of others. We just avoid each other, for the most part.
I'm really sorry you have to go through this, pede. I hope you build a better wall of people around you.
I'm stuck in the most left city in America. It's tough.

Yeet them into a nursing home and never visit
I'm sorry your parents are so foolish. I am glad that my parents can see through this bullshit. How old is your mother?
That’s pretty rough.
