lol nah - My dad handing me a pamphlet about how Hilary Clinton is the anti-christ was just another serving of bull shit added to decades of other bull shit. Been 9 years of peace since I cut him out. He can rot, not changing my life one bit.

I kind of agree... but they will just turn to their usual news sources who will tell them the REAL cause of all their problems are (whatever scapegoats they decide on.)
It’s difficult. My dad honestly raised me to be a loving human being, but seeing him support this shit is going against everything he taught his kids about being good people. But I don’t know if he could have that conversation in good faith. I’ve debated writing him a letter but who knows.
My Trump supporting relatives can swim in their own cesspool. If they show even a hint of self-awareness then I may be moved to care or offer support.
However while they cling to that belief system, they are on their own. Karma is a bitch, ain’t she?
Yeah, they chose this over a relationship with us. They get to enjoy the fruits of that choice for the rest of their lives.
It is much easier to break sticks one at at time and not as a bundle. The enemy's playbook hinges on manipulation and deception. If you turn your backs on even your own flesh and blood, then the enemy already controls you as well.
Naw, we don't need to submit to abuse just because they are related.
The US have collectively lost their mind. It's only going downhill from here.
A portion of the US... But yes, it seems down is the current direction. The rest of us are angry, scared, and wondering... How far? How fast? What's at the bottom? How do we get our ducks in a row before midterms?
It started around 9/11 for me, but maybe because I started paying attention. Before that I didn't even care what they said. After that, it's like watching the asylum.
Who do you think wrote the Patriot act...hint ( heritage assholes.. they used 9/11 to pass it.)
