Just a little rant!
so my brother is into Qannon and Trump. I haven’t talked to him in a year, not because I don’t love him because I do it’s just I can’t keep my self from calling him out when he start spouting his stupidity. I am not like the rest of family who just let him go on and on about it. They don’t say anything just to keep the peace but I have a mouth boy do I have a mouth I don’t sugar coat things to make it more palatable I am blunt.
The thing is he didn’t become a big Trumper until he got voted out of office. No the election wasn’t rigged nor was it stolen. The American people got out and voted and we got a new President period. He even went as far to say that January 6th was faked. He said well the people protesting was real but them busting into the capital and attacking police was fake and didn’t happen and Trump in no way incite the protesters. My sister had to listen to this mouth diarrhea while they were on vacation. She rented a cabin on the lake and invited my brother and his wife to go along with her and my mom and dad. I am glad I wasn’t there because I would have called him out on it and he would’ve insulted me because I don’t believe in the same ideals as he does. The sad thing is his wife and her family are Trumpers as well so that’s all they talk about and it makes me want to vomit. It got the point of me unfollowing them on facebook so I don’t have to see their constant pro Trump posts.
He also doesn’t think systematic racism exists and that racism isn’t a big deal. You can’t even bring up the subject or he will go off on how people of colour are just trying get special treatment blah blah blah. He will also post videos of black people stating the same things he says this is the other reason I unfollowed him. I wish there was hope that he will wake and grow new brain cells and realize how wrong he is we used to be really close even though I moved to Canada and they still live in butt fuck Kentucky we used to skype and talk a lot just to keep in touch about what was going on in each others lives. Now I don’t even get a happy Birthday from him or Merry Christmas or Happy New years nothing radio silence.
Thanks for reading this rant I just needed to get it off my chest. On a side note smoked paprika with rosemary is wonder spice that everyone should have it will take any dish to the next level.
mmmm, will try.
i hope you’ll tell him if you do talk to him, you are articulating clearly facts here and we must keep fighting the good fight when we can

My sympathies. My husband is in love with Trump. I don’t understand it at all. I’m totally baffled how he can get sucked into the Fox News black hole. However, he knows my stance and it’s more or less an agreement to disagree. At least you can distance yourself from your brother. Keep your distance and ignore him as much as possible. I personally thought things would mellow out a bit after the election, but I was wrong. I think it’s more than just Trump. I just think Trump somehow managed to twist that key that kept the stupid hidden in so many people. Scary. Anyway – I’ve got fresh rosemary so I’m going to mix it with the smoked paprika and give it a try. Sounds good. Thanks for the culinary tip!
@wrecktangle happy to help I husband is the cook in the house and he introduced me to it and I demand it to be used on everything lol. I don’t know if I could handle it if my hubby was a Trumper I would have to remind my self that prison orange isn’t a good look for me.

Canada has a lot tamer politics, I find. Ugh, to your brother’s political views! 🤢
@kartoffeltorte I will agree with you on both accounts! The firs time I experienced a Canadian election its was so refreshing no have a big hoopla over it like they do in the states. They go vote go home eat dinner go to bed wake up find out who won then go one about their day. But here lately the political ads have gotten more frequent.
@psychoshrimp666 I know. We are a polite lot.
