Division(s).....

[mdehners]

Like a lot of families post 2016 election, ours is divided. On one side there's us and my brother Chris. On the other my SIL Sandi and my brother Gary. Our side just doesn't Engage. The other? Needless to say, we're all learning Patience. It's the most hard for Chris because his wife isn't just a Trumper, she's a Trumpitarian. That's my term for Trumpers who see Him as a Spiritual Power or Messenger. And Chris is on the Atheist side of Agnostic. Think Vulcan with a sense of Humor. To him, his wife's political beliefs are bordering on Mental Illness. Gary is what I call a Trumplette, basically a Trump MiniMe. Whet He says, Gary repeats as TRUTH.
Personally? I no longer watch ANY news shows or read newsfeeds(well nf's occasionally;>).The last few yrs have pretty much proved to my satisfaction that Humanity in general and the USA in particular are no longer to be of concern. I hope that things get a touch better so the last yrs of our lives aren't going to be a continuation of the destruction of all the positive things I believed about Humanity but if it at least it's death throws hold off long enough for us all to Pass, I'll be happy with just this....
Sincerely,
PT Duffy

Hang in there, Pat!

Thanks! When I was young I used to try to "educate" folks but by my late 20's I'd realized that unless something shatters their worldview, it ain't gunna. Which means nowadays folks who act like I did in my mid 20's and younger annoy the Heck out of me;>! Esp when they're relations. I much prefer quiet loathing of the others Beliefs than "discussions" that only make the family dynamic UNPLEASANT. Oh well, another thing to add to the list if I ruled the world;>...
Cheers,
Pat
