I finally messages my Trumpster uncle to ask after this weekend what could Trump do to lose his support .

Become an uber liberal was the response. I said so becoming like me would make you reject him ok. And uncle shot back that I was doing the same thing . I told him that actually I don't know why he supports Trump because I didn't think my uncle had the same values as Trump. I see Trump as the antithesis of Christ. (What I didn't say was you are a preacher this is what I don't understand) but if my uncle agrees with all the horrorible things that Trump does then yes I'm rejecting him.

Scarfed an apple, now have hiccups.

I keep feeling like I should say something on FB about Charlotte, but I just can't. It's too much.

Gud, it's unpossible that TCLBITW is starting a career! And that her younger brother is in a college-high school senior year.

Unpossible, I say. Congrats to them, and to you for getting them this far.

I refrain from comment on any other family member.

Well now he's said that Obama is going to go down in history as the most narcissistic, racist president so I am rejecting him

I've hit the point where, when people (even loved ones) say things like this, I just laugh and laugh. That is genuinely all I can do. (And then I unfollow/unfriend on FB.)

Sorry if my posts are triggering. Maybe I shouldn't vent.

I'm legitimately curious why he would think Obama was the most racist president. I'd go with Andrew Jackson there.

Okay, I'm going to get all-capsy here, and I'm doing it out of affection.

YOU NEED TO KEEP POSTING HERE. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO VENT TO US. WE LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY AND WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING. DON'T YOU DARE STOP POSTING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

t the over-protective tag about you people never closes

I've noticed that it's pretty much impossible to argue with a Trump supporter without them, unprompted, making some outrageous claim about Obama and/or Hillary, i.e., Obama is going to go down in history as the most narcissistic, racist president; another I heard recently was that Obama *hates* the Red States. There really isn't any evidence for their claims, it's all just projection.

Literally all projection!! It's stunning to me.

It has been tricky with my brother here visiting. A family friend and resident of Canada said something appropriate about Trump and my brother piped up that he doesn't like Trump (he was a Ben Carson fan), but he had to vote for him because it would have been worse if Clinton took Florida. We agreed to not talk about Trump any more. At least they are vastly outnumbered by sane relatives, but we do have a tiny minority of friends and family here that aren't horrified that he is president. The only way I can tolerate their presence, or have some as FB friends is if they never talk about it. It is just inconceivable to me and I refuse to engage with them because it would end very badly.
