Thank you so much for saying things which may be hard for some to hear but which need to be said!! The idea that "the little woman" is being held down by her dumb, domineering, MAGA husband but can "break free" in the voting booth is both offensive and patently untrue!

Thank you so much for saying things which may be hard for some to hear but which need to be said!! The idea that "the little woman" is being held down by her dumb, domineering, MAGA husband but can "break free" in the voting booth is both offensive and patently untrue! I was told in 2016 that I was "in the grips" of a "misogynist" because I didn't support Hillary Clinton! I replied that I was far more involved in politics than my husband and I had no problem voting for women, IF they were strong, honest, ethical, and shared my values and views on government, NONE of which applied to Hillary!
The absolute unreasonable anger that Leftists seem to feel for anyone who refuses to acquiesce to their worldview is, IMHO, indicative of mental illness (and I freely admit that I know some on the right who suffer from the same malady but proportionally it seems to be much more common on one side of the aisle than the other).
We need to get back to the place where we can have reasonable discussions, based on actual FACTS, and stop the passive-aggressive name calling and shunning of friends and family!
I know dozens of people, myself included, who had family members completely cut them off because of decisions made during C0v1d or because of political differences. In all but ONE case, it was done by those on the Left, and that alone SHOULD give them pause for thought, but evidently, it doesn't, as evidenced by the recent Facebook post of Dr. Malone's family member. What a sad state of affairs our country has come to - I am honestly glad that my parents are not here to see it because it would break their heart!
It has always been brothers, Dems, that like to agitate me since Bush 43 won. They follow along with the media, which has always been hostile to republicans. My older brother was the worst and he passed a decade ago. I sent both younger brothers a 2019 email with a link that discussed how the Russia Hoax was just that, a hoax and the youngest wrote back saying he wouldn't even read it because he was smart enough to know it was not a hoax and anyone who thought otherwise was a flat-earther. In 2020 he sent an email that said his Hail Mary was getting a president that would really tackle Covid. My response was I would no longer discuss politics. The other younger brother will never admit to the other that he, register Dem, has been voting R for some years. He gave DJT $1,000 after the first assassination attempt.
Neither of us have told him we are jab free. He has gotten every jab and booster offered and has been suffering since with many health issues. He still thinks his brother votes for Dems.
You cannot reason someone out of something they have not been reasoned into. The ostracizing of family and friends is basically a one-sided issue.

"You cannot reason someone out of something they have not been reasoned into...."
This is perfect - may I steal it?
Borrow it, that's what I did.
