I really have very little advice, because, I'm personally dealing with many of the same forces you are describing in this encounter.
It does look like the issues you're facing in this relationship go far deeper than this particular flare up. Some of them may have nothing to do with politics, but, that is a particularly sore point and the sister has been looking for a wedge. Your on-again, off-again boyfriend and his odd conjunction with his ornery sister and ex-girlfriend. Step back and take a look at the whole constellation. Maybe, it's a mix that you are better off without. Think about it in a wider context. Is the relationship worth a constant fight to maintain? In my experience, it tends to be rarely worth it.
I apologize if this seems like weak tea, but, it's all I've got.
Hey! How about Xochitl! (pronounced, so-cheel, I'm informed by her proud supporters) Your efforts worked! That was an extraordinary victory!
