I just lost my brother to the dark side.

[Cartoonist]

I'm having a hard time accepting it. It's like he died.

1. I am very sorry nt

[NNadir]

2. It's been over 20 years since I last spoke with my brother.

I know it's tough, and sometimes it hurts, but really, it's just something you need to accept.

Best wishes to you.

[Duncanpup]

3. I understand

[CrispyQ]

4. My sympathies.

I've lost two family members to trumpism. I don't talk to either one of them & one I'll never forgive for the hateful things he said.

[Texaswitchy]

5. Same here

A lot of people are like your brother.

Maybe one day he will change.

All you can do now is to get on with your life.

I haven't talked to a certain family member for years.

Your mental health is more important.

6. My three

adult Southern grandchildren as well. Lots of families facing a sad Christmas.

7. While my bil was in hospital with vivid related pneumonia

his wife said she believed if you take it soon enough Ivermectin works. A very reliable smart person told her this.Said the only reason hospitals don't give it is because its not patented for that. I really liked her too. Pretty soon there will be very few people to talk to.

8. I so understand and sympathize.

My adult son shifted over a few years ago, which was both horrifying and sad. He's not stupid either. It's like a cult.

9. Count yourself lucky. You'll get over it. I did.

My immediate family on my side is all Dem and unfortunately almost every one of them is on the dark side. Passive aggressive, narcissistic, able to lie over tall buildings with a single word, and just nicely toxic.

Sometimes you have to cut the cord to save yourself.

EDIT - what I meant by count yourself lucky is assuming the "dark side" you mentioned is Trumpy or Q'y. Making it a little bit easier (subjective) to let go. Mine are not Trumpy, just douchy.

10. There are worse things

I've had to stop contact with my toxic sisters, and I'm saner for it. Having those unhinged people in your life would be worse than having them gone.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. SO sorry to hear that.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. The day after my mother's burial I ceased all contact with my siblings and their spouses. To a

person they are RW scammers and mooches. It’s been a great and peaceful 12 years!

Wishing you well!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. I am sorry

[FakeNoose]

14. I don't understand how someone could become a Repuke now

After 2020 and after 2021, how could anyone decide they prefer Repukes over solid American Democrats?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

I'm sorry for your loss, but it doesn't make sense to me.

[Cartoonist]

15. Nor to me

We were like twins. And this change was so sudden. He's now posting shit from Dinesh D., So you know he's gone to the bottom.

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. I'm sorry
