Yes. But I don't understand the relevance.

Step 1) Get off of social media

Step 2) Meet him at Sonic, after checking his knuckles

doesn't seem all that bad. The country is a total dump and has been for a long time. We are talking about a country that murders fetuses.

Tell your wife to unfriend him and totally ignore it.

Or, do the opposite and let it rip.

You definitely should talk to your brother. Don’t mention the political aspect of his Facebook posts, but focus on the fact that he said he’s glad your dad isn’t here. As someone who has also lost their dad, I would be upset with him for saying that. Your obviously not going to change his political views, but maybe he can at least separate the two in a conversation with you. Good luck.

There's no convincing people of anything anymore, everyone just wants to talk and not listen. Sounds like he just wants to be upset.


That's why you gotta embrace nihilism, bro. Everyone thinks they're right, but we actually are. Nothing means anything.


Would you be interested in some literature?

Cause go frick yourself, I don't care what you're interested in.

Unless his dad died awhile back, I think he was around to see the fetus holocaust that we've become

Get Facebook account, repost his message saying “ sorry you’re a dick who uses my father as a political prop”, tag him in the post



Then fight him

Typically liberal bitch. These people are determined to destroy this great country



There is a reason they say liberalism is a mental disorder. No mentally sane person would do something like that

If you just unfollow him, you won’t read his posts and get pissed off. Problem solved.

I blocked my sister on Facebook for similar actions.

Ignorance is bliss.

Oh for Christ’s sake. Too bad your mom didn’t have a coat hanger so we wouldn’t have to read that.

Although I have lurked for a long time, this is my first post. The time has come…I need some feedback/advice from the OT.

I have an older sibling (early 60’s) who lives several states away and posts some extremely inflammatory political diatribes on FB. (I don’t have a FB account but my wife and kids show me the posts - I don’t see all of them, but they show me the really outrageous ones). I almost always disagree with his positions on the merits, but that doesn’t really bother me too much since I have a lot of friends and colleagues with different views. However, he doesn’t just criticize political figures or policies… he makes really vicious and condescending personal attacks against supporters of the opposing party. And while he doesn’t single us out by name, it is clear my family and I fit squarely in the group that he routinely trashes, calls names, etc.

The other day he posts a picture of our Dad (who passed away in 2011) on the anniversary of his death. My wife shows me the picture thinking it was some type of sentimental tribute… then we read the caption which says something like “Sorry that you are gone but I am actually glad that you aren’t here to see what a joke our country has become…”. I miss my Dad so much and I am so pissed that he reduced my Dad to a stupid political prop on FB.

I have never challenged him about this or any of his other stupid posts. I'm a pretty easy going guy, but this really burns me up every time I think about it and I can't seem to let go. What should I do? Keep quiet and just fume inside? Confront him and let him know what a dick move it was? Would appreciate any thoughts or advice.

First documented set of brothers resulted in one murdering the other. No need to break with precedent, IMHO.

ETA: That was a joke. Don't follow family members on facebook. It won't help your opinion of any of them.
