39. I agree with you to a good extent.

Obviously we want to have good relationships with family. I have had times with my sister where things were rough and we are actually very aligned politically. Sometimes it is just the family stuff that comes up. I agree that there is a lot of pressure socially to just accept a certain amount of mistreatment because "family" like there is supposed to be a special bond because you all came out of the same vagina. Biologically, yes, family is about biology and genetics. We look like our siblings and parents to a great extent, we carry similar blood and genetic coding in our bodies. Family is also to a great extent, about relationships. If your family treats you like shit, and makes your life miserable, then you have to decide to be a part of the dysfunction or to remove yourself from it. You should not accept mistreatment just to be around your uterus/vagina mates.

Granted, this doesn't appear to be the case with the OP. Sounds like other than the difference (and to me supporting Trump is a pretty significant hurdle) that the OP and her sister had a decent relationship.

I would say to let things blow over but also to really make an explicit agreement not to discuss political issues.
