No big dinners now.

My younger brother is a trumper. I'm a liberal Dem. We've lost parents and 3 older siblings. We love each other dearly, but still fence about politics. Of course, I'm always right!

Your assessment of your sister's situation sounds spot on. Unfortunately, she has to wise up on her own. Just let her know you're there for her, but not the boyfriend. You won't lose her forever.
