Biden Derangement Syndrome?

My Trump-loving relatives posted complaints for 4 years about people hating on their guy and making fun of him. Now they’re doing the same: posting memes making fun of Biden and ridiculing him. I even saw one that said “who could support parents who raised Hunter Biden”. They just sicken me, but I don’t want to become estranged from my sisters and nieces over this. I’m the only Democrat in the immediate family. Thank goodness my husband and kids are with me.

Why not unfollow them. They are still friends with you, but you don’t see their post. Perhaps once a week take a look at the page to see if you missed any pictures or worthwhile stuff. And if asked why you aren’t posting much, just say you only go on occasionally. Will save the relationship.

I unfollowed several family and friends on Facebook. Don’t have to see the nonsense and they are none the wiser.

It's a lot easier on the blood pressure and everything else. It'll only get worse as the indictments of Trump Co. start coming down...
