I even am now estranged with three grandchildren who live in the south. They hate liberals, grammie included. Guess all those happy times when they were children are forgotten. It hurts, but I'v found that to unfriend them and just pay attention to left leaning social media and posting on sites with like-minded folks helps me vent my frustrations and I don't get exposed to the hateful stuff posted by relatives I love. Anyway, that's my solution. Perhaps someday they will realize just how much they all have been fooled?
