[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A huge fight over how he was attacking friends of mine on FB over his Trump BS. I stayed away from his page, and asked him politely - repeatedly - to keep his crap off mine. But he just couldn’t stop. Then I started getting private messages about how I “needed to listen to [my] elders” (I was 47) and comments like how people like him with guns “weren’t going to take crap anymore.” But he was almost a bigot, racist and misogynist. Trump just made him feel like he could be more open about it. So yeah, done and blocked. Haven’t spoken to him since. Fallout - some tense times with his kids, but mostly they were ok to me. Things with them are almost back to normal. I’ve never regretted cutting him out. There were plenty of reasons to before, so no regrets.[/quote]

Was this an uncle or an in-law?

The proverbial “everyone’s got that one racist uncle.” He was technically an in-law, married to my aunt. But he was around well before I was born, so always just my uncle.[/quote]

So your biggest confrontation revolves around blocking a trump supporter on facebook? mkay[/quote]

Um, no ahole.  The blocking and never speaking to him again was how I ended it.  The confrontation was the result decades of misogynistic and racist bullshit that increased because of Trump and spilled over to him attacking my friends on FB, and not-so-subtly making threats related to the firearms he owns. But nice try dipshit.[/quote]

Uh huh. Nice virtual confrontation[/quote]
