Election results/Family members who disagree with you

I know this has come up on occasion. How do you deal with an immediate family member (sibling) who says he/she/ they doesn’t want to talk anymore? Do you double down or blow it off?

If they don’t want to talk politics it won’t come out of my mouth, but you know liberals are the ones who can’t shut up, lol. Liberals are mostly emotionally unstable.

My siblings and I and our spouses agreed a while back that we just don’t talk politics when all together, especially since it is lopsided R(4), D(1).
It works for us at lil of our gatherings!

Everyone in my extended family vote R as for as I know. So any that disagree keep their mouth shut. I recently found out one lean a bit to the left of the rest of us. I don't know if that even means that person votes D. So it is basically 30-0 or 29-1 at worst.

My gloves are off.
No mercy!
My niece opened her mouth and I destroyed her.

The fact that folks -including blood relations- can’t have or share critical thought or discourse is part of the problem, not a solution.
Rigorous debate should be the norm and the expectation, not fear…

Some of us guys will have some vigorous but non-emotional political debates out back, but otherwise family is more important. We all love each other and that’s what comes first.

I can’t believe people let this crap get in the way of actual family relationships. No one in the White House in our lifetimes has ever given one single shite about any of us. Don’t put elite scum bags ahead of family.

I’ve been giving Mrs Salty1 hell for months. She suffers from a mild case of TDS (you’d have to know her back story, not that it justifies ignorance). I’m not letting up either, just the opposite. frick it…kids are grown. I have nothing to lose.

You stop inviting them for Thanksgiving dinner. That is what I do with my commie uncle. Not having to worry about his girlfriend with dementia pissing on the furniture is a plus.

Between my 6 adult kids and their spouses and the spouses parents we don't have a single democrat in the bunch.

There was 30 or so people at my grandma's for Christmas festivities. I can't think of 1 that would possibly vote democrat.

Have not spoken to my 86 year old mother since Oct 2020 when she posted nonstop for 3 days wishing death on Trump when he had Covid. She has been brainwashed by the legacy media. She is consumed with hate and has lost the ability to be a critical thinker. I despise the media and everything the Democrat party has become.

The Dims/Cultural Marxists of today are mentally fragile, most of them are incapable of any meaningful political discourse due to their propensity to meltdown when challenged.

Your mother sounds a lot like mine. She's 88 and has been a far leftly since about 1990. She voted for Goldwater in 64. Imagine that.
