This is a major cluster F! Repubes suck and they are all in my family! I hardly

talk to them anymore. This is so bad! I am shocked! Shocked, I say! I'm just thankful to DU for providing a venue for me to vent.

1. Yeah it's a nice pillow into which you can do all the Primal screaming you want to do

3. The GOP is now an invasion force working to being down the country. Absolutely no

likeness to the old GOP. The GOP does not give a damn about the country or the people. The GOP is in the game to rip off money and power, that, is the bottom line of the GOP. It's dangerous as hell to the future of the US. Friends/family still in today's GOP are not friends or family and are dangerous as hell to the future of the US.

4. You have my sympathies. I'm fortunate to have only 1 obnoxious MAGA lovin Uncle, but, no one

in my family talks to him anyway. Everyone else is pretty much progressive, with a few centrist Democrats.

5. I have 100% redumbliCONS in my former family and I no longer

have any contact or communication with any of them. Life is actually much better without their deplorable existence.

6. I've found great solace in removing people who are

...cult GOP from contact. One relative I...well, that's not true, she had already considered me scum, so I just acknowledged it and walked away via social media. But, sooner or later we are going to have to cross paths. She's already trying to avoid it. Tried to contact my sister who is a co-trustee on my grandfather's estate...he's not dead...yet. My sister just ignored her call....we all know what she wants. But she obviously doesn't get that even though my sister is a co-trustee...I still also have to sign off.

Maybe she's trying to find a way to play us against each other....well, that isn't going to work because my sister and I have NEVER got along. But to get us to agree in unison against our aunt...well... she's accomplished the once thought impossible.

However, I get that many in your family are hard right GOP. The easiest way to deal with that....accept your the "outcast" of the family. Nod and smile....walk away if there is political talk, etc. Problem is, one day they may need you...and one day you may need them.

Don't burn bridges unless you have to. With my aunt, I already knew that it would require me to sell my soul to her if things got that bad...and I knew I wouldn't pay that price. Hence, it was easy to walk away.

7. Thanks. I finally bought the "black sheep of the family" tshirt. Can't wait to wear it at

the next gathering.

8. Conservatives hate laughter the most, as you can see by Grifter Don.

Don't get mad. Vote. Get active. Volunteer in your precinct, area. If your area is blue, do like others do, carpool to other purple areas that need the help.

WE make the difference. Obama is the example of that.

9. They werent laughing AT him

They were laughing WITH him. It has to be true because he told us so, and I was laughing as he said it!
