This election has divided the nation more than I could've ever imagined. A very close family member is a constant bully and a huge badgerer about me being liberal. Every time they off the cuff mention how we should annex Mexico and Canada or how profiling in the airport/justice system would be a great thing, I keep my mouth shut. When they say that Liberals are ignorant scum who only care about extorting minorities and crying, I keep my mouth shut. When They personally try to agitate me, forcing me to talk my stance, I politely ask to talk about other things. They refuse. They ask what size my MAGA hat should be, If i'm excited to put a brick on the border wall, If i'm excited about all the liberal tears, about bringing "Real Marriage" back, About how i'm a "Little Whiny Bitch" for trying to "Silence" their free speech. Its escalated to the point today where if I ask any further to not talk about my politics that "Then we wont talk anymore AT ALL". I No longer know what to do. Do I ask in a different way not to be drug into political discourse ?, Do I further allow myself to be a target for misanthropic hate speech? Do I announce exactly how I feel in full unabashed detail and lose them forever considering THEY are the intolerant ones? Apologies that this a sort of a cluster fuck but i'm full of sadness and frustration that my family that I love so much regardless of politics would refuse and threaten me for such a simple request.
