the hater machine always need an enemy to support their agendas; families have been destroyed over the last 5 yrs these issues. it has alway been shaky with mine who are flaming liberals mostly employed as teachers in the public school system. we are completely opposite in view on the political/social spectrum. they started a fight and that was it, all relationships, contact, holiday invites ceased. it has 4 yrs. my wife's side are mostly conservative, don't care and the liberals are accepting

Mine feel that white people are to blame for all of the problems in the world and that white people as a whole should be punished and forced out of positions of authority. And they also hate racism.
Think about that for a second.

that is critical race theory; they must be teachers, they push that crap

does anyone really think and care about this stuff in real life? i was under the impression it was talked about on news shows to gain a bigger audience and the hollywoods thought it put people in the seats when they jumped on the latest cause.

I don’t. It’s all talking heads bullshit.
They care in the sense that they are guilted into feeling a certain way that makes them want to do all that they can to display to the world that they support whatever it is they're supposed to. Its virtue signaling. Its the "Somebody needs to do something about this!!" crowd. They're not going to go out and actually do anything good to help the people they're claiming are victimized and marginalized. They'll just change their profile picture, maybe wear a t-shirt, pass some memes around, and go about their pathetic day. And they are most certainly not going to do anything to trade spots with someone they think deserves that spot but has been "marginalized".

Commie neighbors have the yard signs of their party. When a local election is coming, I snap a picture of signage so I know who to vote against. Haven't set foot in their yard in years. They did put a big fence around the property and I made the comment that it does keep out people who are not welcome. This was after being lectured on border wall and the 1% not paying their fair share. They hated mean tweets.

I don't let politics ruin family. We'll argue it out over some beers, but in the end we're the same blood, and if you can't be cordial to meet up with family, then YOU'RE the problem (not you on this forum of course those who aren't cordial with family)

Our lone token liberal in the family died a couple years ago, and he isn't really missed.
Everyone caved about the vax though. Everyone was against it, and one by one each one caved to save their job - which I understand and accept, as I was close to caving as well. Now there's still a couple who are jealous but happy we're not vaxed, while the rest want us to go along so we're all miserable.
Either way - I'm 4 hours away from them, so I don't see them too much anymore.

And there's a ton more, but those are the ones about him bitching about poor family relations.

Politics get left at the doorstep, when family gathering happen. We all know where we stand and that's OK. We enjoy each other and have been blessed by a flurry of young kids to run and crawl around and generally lighten up the mood.

I don't but the problem is, many do and votes for like minded politicians
I have an elderly friend who has no children or spouse who was told by his sister that he couldn't see his grand nieces and nephews if he wasn't boosted. He was pretty bummed out about it but didn't want to get the booster.
It was the worst thing I had heard about the whole situation and how it has impacted people by creating isolation.

I may be a problem, I'm ok with that. Family is accidental, I'm more concerned with those I choose to be with.

I f***in love President Donald Trump. I don't give a f*** what anyone thinks. I rub it in the libs faces all the time. The bottom line is our country was put first when he was in charge. We had $1.89 gas when he left office, no wars, a secured southern border, lowest black unemployment in history, an exposed fake media, exposed swamp, revived American spirit, etc. Within 14 months, this entire country has gone to shit under democrat rule. You can't argue any of that. The democrats are racist, sexist, homophobic, corrupt and evil. Its out there clear as day. If any family member wants to say otherwise, please bring it on and I'll show you the truth.
This is where I exist as well. Although most of my family is Italian or Irish so naturally distrust the government anyways.

The only family thing is my brother and SIL avoid talking politics AT ALL. Only b/c my dad, a staunch Democrat, has said a lot of not-nice things about the current administration. ROFL!!!
As far as colorwheelies, wife was in Northampton last weekend for a class. She said the # of BLM signs were staggering. Saw zero black people her entire 2 days there. ROFL!!! "Black Lives Matter - In Matter-pan. Not Northampton."

Irish and Italians elected their commie state but those that came to America should be looking for less .gov
The Italians elected their commie state mainly due to the backlash from the Mussolini government and German occupation after Italy surrendered in 1943. That fed a lot of how their state runs today. Not very smart to swap one dictatorship for another, but that's what fed a lot of it.Irish and Italians elected their commie state but those that came to America should be looking for less .gov

I used to be a die hard sports fan, if you are a musician, athlete, actor and I know your political stance your doing it wrong!
I never missed Sunday NFL but last year didn't watch one game and I don't miss it one bit!

You are more fortunate than I am.
My sister's a liberal, turning realist, we talk a couple times a week.
My brother's a realist, we talk about once a week.
My daughter is a flaming liberal. We're not talking at all.
I'm missing my grandchildren's childhood.
heh, it is quite straightforward. my wife is more pro-trump than i am, as i generally hate all politicians of all colors. trump was less of an evil than current shithead, but, to say they are totaly different is not to understand the nature of that evil.
trump did not do a zilch to solidify any actual improvements for the causes that matter to people, he is same exact owner class member - was the one since he was born and will remain as such. and he had everything at his disposal, congress, house, and even most of scotus.
i am not an anarchist, but, tend sometimes toward it now as i have lost any hope to see anything good coming, ever. not here, nor abroad, all the same shit everywhere. it is all pointless.
yep, and a meme, to clarify:

I have strong beliefs - however, my time and mental well-being is too important for me to be debating/arguing with family and friends over politics etc., nobody's mind is likely to be changed one way or the other and everyone usually goes away mad and/or thinking how they can one up the other in the next "discussion". So my relationships with family and friends remain the same as before. Life is just way too short and I want to spend as much time and energy in doing things I enjoy.
I do choose my family. Just because some aunt had kids or whatever, why does that mean I’m linked to them for life. I choose friends and family. If you’re not a good person, I don’t care you’re my 2nd cousin, aunt etc.
The good ones I’m in contact with, the idiots (some are onto drugs and or alcoholics, others are just really shitty people regardless of politics) I don’t see or want to.
