My own family spans the entire political spectrum. From me to the Right Wing Nut Job — almost a lost-cause Trump fanatic. I try not to pick at scabs with them — nearly all our discussions are non-political, unless they bring it up. They’re decent people in most aspects of their life… and we all have a lot going on, there’s just this elephant in the room we try hard to keep compartmentalized for the sake of peace.
So, I really don’t know how they’re processing recent events, and I don’t know if I want to know. I figure whatever I tell them, isn’t going to change their mind — they have to do that themselves, and it usually takes time.
I see a lot of posts here from people in similar situations, and just curious if others have broached the topic with their own “Uncle Jim”s? What are they actual saying about this? The incitement, the riot, the impeachment, the social media crackdown, the continued conspiracies... all of it?
