[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL just lost his shit over a perceived slight to his conservative values/trump. My husband felt the need to go to toe to toe with him. Husband eventually left the room but when our 11 year old told FIL that what we needed was Kamala Harris as president, I thought that he might have a heart attack. He yelled at my kids for being involved ing the conversation- my MIL cried- he apologized. My kids were involved because they were in the room when he lost his marbles. What a mess and we have 3 more days.[/quote]

I feel you - this sounds like something my dad would do.  His conservative principles, his politics, and his nationalism have always taken priority over his relationships with people, even his own family. He takes it as a personal insult when someone disagrees with him or expresses a different opinion. This is why I don't really enjoy visiting him or talking with him, and neither do his grandkids.[/quote]

Maybe next time your husband can be the bigger person and not respond. He fell for it.[/quote]

Ugh. Why do the reasonable people always have to be the bigger person. It's so one-sided. The trumpsters love to bait and everyone else has to play nice? Nope. Someone needs to shut them down. Being cordial doesn't work. [/quote]

I yell and scream right on back about how horrible trump and MAGA are.  I’m sick of just sitting there and letting them rant nonsense.  [/quote]
