111. That's the thing too

They don't understand how their way of thinking affects us all.

My family was in a serious mess during the Obama years. One of my brothers lives about 100 miles from my Mother and when Obama got re-elected in 2012, he simply stopped calling her. Said that he didn't want to talk to her. And didn't for nearly 4 yrs. I don't know what made him change but my Mother was destroyed by his silence. Every time his name came up, she'd cry and my other liberal brother wanted to hunt down my brother and kill him for what he did to our Mother. He will never forgive him but I have and my mother has and my hateful brother speaks to Mom every week again. It's pathetic how this separated my family. My oldest brother died in Sept and they had a memorial service (which I couldn't attend because I'm abroad) and I called my liberal brother that day and asked him if he was going to beat up our brother. He said, the memorial is on Mother's 86th birthday so he will live another day but he would not speak to him unless spoken to first. I can only imagine the tension in that room.

We never discussed politics growing up and I wasn't active until 2006 when Obama came on the scene. He was the first one I voted for since Carter lost to Reagan. I had to ask my mother which way she voted. She's a solid Dem. Dad died in '75 so I'll never know how he voted.
