it's always good to try to keep relationships positive if you can.

Just kinda go along with it with a neutral attitude...say Ok, I find most of that hard to believe without proof but hey anything is possible these days so I can't deny your beliefs.

Try to change the subject whenever possible because it's a depressing topic as it is anyway.

I would be silent and not speak a word to any of them of even make eye contact. I would pretend they didn't exist and just sit there silently, looking off in other directions and only acknowledge anyone there who is not about that shit. Like irl ghosting while being in the presence of the person/people you are ghosting.

That's how I do it. Just start messing around on my phone and barely acknowledge them if they try to involve me in the convo.

I don't know anyone brokenminded like that thankfully, so I have't actually had to do that, but I am hoping I would be able to pull it off instead of losing my temper. I think it would piss them off eniugh that the satisfaction would fuel me to keep it up indefinitely though.

If I had people like this in my family I would honestly have to cut ties with them. Sorry you gotta deal with that bullshit TC


In most cases I would but in this exact case, I would want to at least show up for the sake of the niece.

this is basically my strategy. The moment they bring up politics, I just start messing around on my phone or literally stare at the wall.

we only show up for the kids sake

Fiances sister has been going through addiction for like 15 years

so the parents(grandparents) actually have custody of 2/3 of her kids.

But yes, their neglect/ignorance reaches child abuse levels

Lolbertarians and the right wing walk hand in hand on a lot. Even batshit crazy lolbertarians like sovereign citizens. They deny there's a relationship, but as you point out, they're seen "making out" too much together.

we had them for a sleepover last year, and the 8yo was complaining when we passed Biden signs, had to wear a mask in stores, etc.

8 year olds should not have political ideologies

Yeah, but you just gotta just shut it down and make it clear that you could not be less interested in talking about this and steer the conversation to something else.

I don't blame them.
These people are purposely mislead by folks like Trump and other politicians, who prey on their ignorance.

What we need to do is find a way to reach and educated these people. Or approach should be with love. Lead with love. I know its hard to do, and I'm still learning to do it myself.

However, its the only way we can unite our country and move forward towards a better future together.

Lead with love, meaning, when you feel like getting upset and angry, remember they are people you love and that your real intentions are to educate them and make them aware of reality.
Its not easy to do, and I'm still struggling with it myself, but its the only way I know we can conquer the hate they are being fed.

I believe once they see that we can disagree, but still love and care about each other, they'll be more open to listening and hearing what we have to say.

Fighting tooth and nail with them only serves to further divide us in hate. We have to get away from that hate and I deeply believe the only way we can do that, is to truly lead with love. Our interactions with them should be from a place of love, and not ridicule and just proving our opinions are grounded in more fact, logic and reality.

That's quite a lot easier to say when you aren't actually in that position

I'm lowkey amazed at how quick CE is to jump to "break up" or "divorce" as if there's nothing attached to the relationships at all
Yeah that's a big jump, unless she agrees with them. Then I question why you'd even marry her in the first place

And young children certainly complicate the matter. If they dont have a positive outside influence, they'll fall down the conservative rabbit hole too
