At the moment I'm feeling quite pleased with myself.

Over the last few months my sister has been posting anti Biden material on facebook. I refuse to take the bait and I just check back to see what reaction she gets. Nobody comments. I dont comment because it causes too much angst and I just want to live a peaceful life. However, she often posts pictures involving cruelty to animals, so this morning I posted a barrage of pictures of Don Jnr and Eric standing next to their trophies while on their safaris. It needed no comment.

and during the last federal election campaign here my relationship with my sister was fractured. We are on speaking terms and I would like to tread very carefully. She is married to a redneck from Minnesota who is a rabid Trump supporter and she is easily influenced. I see now that facebook has more negatives than positives.

How can anyone support that kind of stuff, not to mention racism, hatred, incompetence, grifting, and worse.

If she does truly care about animals she should react very badly. Those pictures turn a lot of people off. Maybe in the millions. And rightfully so.

5. I flipped my BIL from voting for Trump in 2016 with those pictures.

All I had to do was email them to him with the question....(BIL name), look at these. Are you going to vote for a Trump?

My BIL is an animal fanatic....He's been to Africa five times to view the animals in their natural habitats. He spends his retirement volunteering at a wild animal rescue center in San Diego.
