Have you had a republican family member stop talking to you?

They are always saying they have family values, but I have met so many people in the Democratic party that had a family member or more shun them. The Gop also doesn't compromise which is a family value, if anything they are anti-family values.

They continue talking to you in order to tell you the "truth," that being the latest Fox talking points. They keep trying to 'educate' you

Proselytizing.

It's why so many rethugs are also fundies. I never really thought about it much until now.

No loss for me though! I was tired of all the right wing emails, some of them were pretty racist.
