Who has had to end relationships with family members today? [View all]

I've scraped off two family members (and counting) today because of racist posts on social media. For example, I posted an angry shot of the Trumper carrying a Confederate Battle Flag in the halls of Congress, and I had an uncle who responded "About time, looks better than BLM bullshit."

So I immediately blocked his posts, and moved on. For all intents and purposes, he's out of my life. I do not expect to speak to him again on the green side of the grass. Not by choice, in any case.
