Barf: My right wing B-I-L is now posting Cruz propaganda on Facebook.

[Paper Roses]

I must keep peace in my very small family and will certainly not 'like' any of this junk. I just hope he does not ever bring up politics during our periodic phone conversations. All I will reply is--lets not go there--.

I have no hope of changing his mind, or that of my now right leaning sister. Don't know where this came from but I don't subscribe to their beliefs. They were Dem's years ago, things changed after a few years in California and now Florida. Must be something in the water.

1. And every single thing Cruz stands for and would do will GREATLY harm your BIL

but, if your BIL is like most, he values his hatred of minorities and gays far more than survival.

I am not attacking your relative, but this is usually what they have in common

2. Well, it must be Floriduh's fault

We were smart enough to elect a Dem for Gov and those under him. We have the healthcare expansion Floriduh doesn't. It helps us out when Gopers move out. I guess they enjoy paying more for healthcare. I wish all Gopers would move out of Ca so we can have people using Medical who WANTED it. Not assholes who complain like my brother.

3. You don't have to be disagreeable

Just say you not sure if you can trust Canadians.

4. Tell him you think Cruz throwing his hat in the ring is hilarious...

5. Click the little arrow in the upper corner of the post

and hide the posts. Most of them are probably shared from the same site. Your B-I-L won't know you've done it, your family won't know you've done it, and you don't have to look at it anymore.

7. That is just what I am doing. There is no hope for him.

I forgot to mention, he also follows Joel Olsteen....'nuff said.

I am very familiar with the 'I don't want to see this' arrow.
I use it for his posts, at least most of them. I also have another relative with the same leanings. She tends to -forward- his posts. I get them twice!

8. Ick.

You have my sympathies.

6. You can take enjoyment in how spectacularly the Cruz campaign will fail to get

the GOP nomination. Please start now, encouraging your BIL to vote third party or skip voting when Cruz fails to get the nomination. Encourage him to ( ) uphold his high ( )
principles and never ( ) compromise!

9. My right wing uncle and his wife

also right wing, started up at the table at a restaurant at lunch after my Aunt's funeral! Couldn't we just talk about my aunt?

They were going on about Kasich and the unions and just seemed so worried about what they always worry about - that other people, whom they don't know, just might be getting something, somehow. They are so worried that other people might get something they don't deserve! (And they are upper middle class well off, so they are under no threat themselves - in fact, she inherited a lot of money from frugal ancestors).

The funny thing about the aunt (uncles' wife) is she is very nice to people she knows, but vicious in her views of people she doesn't know. Conservatives are often like that.

The Uncle is just a dominating bloviator.

I want to say something about stay away from the politics, and they might listen. Dad is guilty too as he actually brings it up! He is generally in favor of unions, so they were trying to convince him Kasich's union busting was necessary. I mean somebody was getting too much of a pension in a state we don't have anything to do with, but we can't have that!!!!!!
