(3,392 posts)Several months ago, I wrote about my own experience with a family member whom I felt I had lost to what feels like a cult of Palestine. This family member is college educated, gay, liberal and vehemently opposed to Trump. Prior to 10/7, we never disagreed about anything in the realm of politics. In the hours after 10/7 though, this person immediately blamed Netanyahu, Israel and the Jewish people for what happened. I was appalled. I was seeing a side of this family member that I'd never seen before. Now, this same person says that they "will never forget or forgive Biden's unwillingness to side with Palestine and would rather not vote than vote for Biden." This isn't a provocateur. This isn't a Rethuglican posing as a Democrat. I feel bad reading this person's completely misguided texts, blasted out to various family members on a near daily basis. None of us have been willing to respond for fear of driving away this family member. It's just become this uncomfortable situation where we all are just not responding to these texts. So, from personal experience, I can definitely say that this schism within the Party is not the product of some GOP dirty trick.
