In reply to the discussion: I'm sure I just disowned my family. [View all]Farmer-Rick
(10,072 posts)11. I have 5 brothers and sisters 2 out of 6 of us are Trump lovers
My oldest brother Trump lover just never talks about it...he never talks about anything. And my little sister is a conservative Jew. She lives in never, never land and ignores all the antisemitism and only pays attention to the Israeli support. We rarely talk. Funny how those 2 are the richest of all of us. Money makes you heartless and cruel.
The other 3 hate Trump as much as I do and we 4 are always talking to each other.
My big sister sent me this image this morning, she said it made her cry. I understand.

It's so true about anger, you hurt yourself and those you love, not the object of the anger

Sometimes engaging isn't enough. The last time I tried, I was asked to leave

If you have religious folks in the family who are ignoring this point them to the book of Jeremiah

This is exactly what Republicans want to happen - divide and conquer, but...

My family will always be my family regardless of their stupidity. But to each their own.

There are Trump voters in my extended family. They were fooled, and acknowledge it.
