(10,486 posts)Unfortunately, almost all of my aunts, uncles, cousins are RWers. But, I never was close to most of them, so never seeing them again is not much of a loss.
My parents are both solid Dems. Of my 4 siblings, 2 are liberals. One goes for some RW BS, but didn't vote for Trump & thinks he's an ass.
That leaves my self-described "staunch Republican" sister. That which makes her a "staunch Republican," was always a barrier to our being especially close, but we got along well enough in our adult years the few times a year family gatherings brought us together.
Now, knowing she voted for Trump, and the fact that her new husband is an RWNJ, I'm hoping there will be few occasions I'll have to spend time with them. My husband and I already had to make excuses for why our band could not play her college graduation party (which would have required an out of town trip) as they wanted. I'd rather not have to come right out with the truth, but will if pressed.
Anyone who can support modern day Republicans, especially now, is just not a person I care to spend time with.
