lol it's not an issue at all. If a person in your family is racist then you simply explain to them how it's not possible for to two different people of two different races to be unequal. People generally aren't evil they are just ignorant, think in terms of Hanlon's razor.
I've simply grown too old to think that holding onto family, just because they are family, is the best path to take. Just as married couples are free to "divorce," so are families. Sure, some people have a very strong familial bond, but me... not so much. I used to, but time has shown that to be a wasted effort. I live across the country, and I gain nothing from the continued relationship. It's not like we still see each other at the local store. She's simply one of the many, many people who have passed in and out of my life. I see no reason to lament that one person any more than the hundreds and hundreds of people I met in the military, or knew from high school, whom I shall never see again.
As for being angry, I'm really not. I was angry before I stopped speaking with her, because I thought I could change her, and stop her from radicalizing. At this point, she's a lost cause, and not worth the anger. I simply use her as a reference, because most people would do everything they could to maintain that relationship. Alas, I have no more fucks to give, the well hath run dry.

And willful ignorance isn't something that can be "taught" out of someone, that's the point. Trying to reason with someone who is willfully ignorant (or racist) is a futile effort.
hmf...when daddy began getting violent because sis married a black man, and was on her 2nd child, we knew it was time to throw him out.
It's ironic. He was born in Puerto Rico, and my godfather was about as black as a man could get, (Taino blood...native/tribal)
But "African-American?" That crossed a line somehow.
We now return to our regularly scheduled topic.

For uhhh people that claim to be "undecided" ...
One of the candidates is consistently trying to block and impede efforts to mitigate the Covid-19 crisis. Same candidate is also selling Snake OilTM.

Note you didn’t actually defend trump blaming China. You admit he’s irrational then. Glad we got that sorted.
Here’s where I’d put in that npc meme with the Npc wearing a maga hat saying “maga” like a robot, but you’re clearly delusional (and closeted, not that it matters) so I’ll just replace you on ignore.
Thank you for doubling down. My original statement still stands. You are making a ton of assumptions about someone's personal situation. Maybe just stop before you fall off your high horse?

As someone who has an incredibly complicated and not terribly healthy family situation I sympathize. And why I'm doing a little white knighting because I also get tired of being told if i just keep trying to make them understand they'll magically wake up and not be awful. A few decades is more than enough data to know my choices are to walk away or just tolerate the toxic behavior and abuse.
I did try... spent about three years trying. At first, I was polite, but I watched her radicalization continue. It got to the point where we were both hostile to each other, and I was simply trying to prevent her from brainwashing others who were more impressionable... like my nieces and nephews.

At least 19 CV19 cases were linked to the Wisconsin primary. I saw at least 19 because we only have the ability to track those who are tested, and test are mostly reserved for those with immediate symptoms.
Such needs isn't good for voter turnout in November if we don't beat this thing or nationally adopt alternatives to in person voting.
The Democrats rely on voter turnout to be up. The GOP has a solid base that will vote no matter what
Mate plz. Your presidential candidate is a senile. Your base is still broken. You are losing the Latino support https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...o-vote/604882/. Trump got a shit ton of votes and money during the primaries even without a challenger and the fly over states hate your guts. And you better hope that the Burisma scandal doesn't rear its ugly head again. At this point im pretty confident that the democrats get thrown out of the house as well and into the sewers where they belong.

Well this proves again the left can't meme for shit and its prove you are utterly bereft of originality to steal our memes. Beyond that i dont have to defend him because i support his actions. And if you want me not supporting it then you need to convince me. And calling me a sheep or a npc will not convince me. What i will do is LMAO. The democrats become politically relevant by the day even more so after November. So do you think i care about insults from irrelevant people ?

Perhaps Burisma is a nothing burger. But we will see that in September. But let's talk about the democratic fuckups.

This is Peloski who is strutting around like an idiot in a Chinatown even when it became apparent that covid was the real deal. Its also no surprise that the democratic shitholes are hit hardest. But this is Darwin at his finest according to some democrats.
Trump can’t remember the 6 rallies he had last month and February. He can’t remember dismantling pandemic relief. In fact, in his written testimony to Muller, how many things didn’t Trump remember? Biden wasn’t nearly as forgetful... do you think Trump remembers spending tax dollars on a drug, shown to increase corona mortality rate? I think he forgot that two... the country won’t...
