The definition of "liberal" on this board is pretty damned broad, especially if you're not overly pissed off about the right things...

Immediate family : NONE
In-laws : NONE
Extended family: none confirmed but there are 2 possibilities. I have a cousin who is a college professor and married to an attorney but I’ve never heard either say or post anything political. Have another cousin who is the daughter of a college professor and is big into pet rescue and I’ve never heard her say or post anything political either. I think at the worse they’d be left of center but not the bat-crap crazy version.

Do have a conservative 90 year old uncle with severe TDS, though

Have a few and refuse to associate with them or include in any family gatherings.

Let me guess, you think socialism just hasn’t been done correctly yet? LOL, keep pushing it brother. If a hundred plus million deaths in the 20th century can’t convert you to capitalism nothing will.

We lock ours up in the closet so they don't disrupt our family gatherings.

I have a few. My Son being one of them. He’s become pretty radicalized in the last few years. I also have a niece who has been like a daughter to me that went to law school and came out the back side as a complete progressive a-hole. It ruined her. She has had major blowups with several of her elder relatives. I finally cut her off and clocked her after she tore into me one day.

Life is too short to let these people bully you and ruin special occasions. I just exclude them.

It’s interesting that education only “ruins” liberals and not conservatives, isn’t it?

Fortunately none of my blood relatives are liberal. I would not have married the seed of liberals, because my peace is precious and I don’t want my blood line contaminated.

Honestly, 2020 changed the world for the worse. I made a rule that no politics were allowed to be discussed at our family get togethers. Politics stop at the door. It became impossible to not offend someone.

A couple but they are good folks -- we enjoy ourselves when together, which means not wasting our time on subjects that are black holes

My number 2 Son is married to an Independent Woman whack job who used to make gatherings an adventure. All it took was my Daughters sitting her down and reading her the riot act, while my Son sat there and grinned. Children calmed her down a lot, She occasionally has her moments, but they're few and far between.
