I post something on FB. I don’t want to dox myself so I won’t say it exactly, but it is very very mild political comment, which is definitely a first for me. Up to now I’ve been strict 0 politics on FB. The comment though is about discouraging certain negativity from entering politics, and aimed at no side in particular, at least not explicitly.* it was so mild that I get the ol’ “like” from everyone across the political spectrum, 100% certain trump voters included.
My sister has the temerity to tell me not to post politics. Some of her previous posts:
Again, the situation is as my previous quoted post. It would be very easy to post those images in response to her telling me to keep politics off Facebook. That would only fracture our relationship. The onus is ALWAYS on the other side to be the bigger man in a MAGA v reality dispute.
It just makes me not respect her. It’s sad. I know she’s left self awareness behind. I know she’s so fragile that my innocuous comment got her riled up. I question her intelligence. I know that’s there is 0.0% chance that she’d see her previous posts and think “oops, I was out of line and wrong.”
*I’ll admit that my initial comment was not 100% innocent. The topic was aimed at bad behavior that the right does more of than the left. And their increasing reliance on that tactic spurred me to post it.
