(42,092 posts)Supporting Trump makes one a bigot. I dont care to argue this, I take age and mental state into consideration as far as my responses to people, but Ill call it out.
What happened with my Brother and sister in law and my husband and I, is we drew that line quite some time ago. Now, Ill get a mild political comment, a little back and forth, but they know better than to say unacceptable shit around us. They know better than to start a political conversation, because we are poles apart. I dont even know if they voted for Trump.
We tentatively began visiting again once or twice a year about three years ago. Family means everything to them. My sister in law makes sure I know she volunteers at the food bank. Theyre bikers, they do toy runs for sick kids on Christmas. They are not bad people. They ARE bigots.
We all have raucous senses of humor, inappropriate as hell, so we get along. We are not Facebook friends.
I guess I picked my one battle, and it cleaned up one hell of a lot of bullshit. They know exactly how I feel. How my husband feels.
We put the ball in their court so to speak. They choose family over bigotry in this part of their lives.
If they hadnt, we would not be having any relationship at all, and that caused my husband a lot of pain.
