In reply to the discussion: To my family who chose Trump over me: Was it worth it? (CNN article) [View all]moreland01
(736 posts)My siblings had never brought up politics between us. It was just a line we all dared never cross. Then one brother broke the ice by tweeting "Am I the only one in the family who supports Trump?". Well, that coaxed the outing of another brother. I lost my shit and said some choice words to them both (on text).
Inheritantly knowing they were righties was overlooked because of what I thought was an unspoken truce.
After I spilled my opinions on trump, the original texting brother then texted a photo of his house with a huge Trump banner on it, I realized he was now goading me . . on purpose! One of his sons flies a confederate flag from the back of his truck.
I moved away at 17 and never went back. Probably never will.
In the future, we've all requested to keep the texts about our mother (who is in an assisted living in lock down since March). Fine with me.
