Her husband is a Fox-addicted RWNJ (who, of course, has the nerve to turn on Fox Noise in my Dem parents' home.)
Two of my other 3 siblings share my parents' Dem party membership and strongly anti-Trump stance. The other sibling leans R, believes racist myths, R lies about the economy, etc., but even he hates Trump.
R sister and I have an unspoken agreement not to discuss politics. But, every now and then, I can't help throwing into a multitopic text something like, "I'm very worried about COVID and grieve for the more than 200,000 Americans (and their families) who are dead thanks to Trump's policy failures."
She ignores it. Which actually kind of pisses me off, because I don't believe she's very informed politically. I think if she could be made aware of the actual facts, she might be persuadable. But she doesn't want to hear it.
