So they're all cutting off contact with liberal family members and friends. Personally...

Even when we disagree, which is often.This often means we don't talk about politics which is a shame. But I consider family to be important.

I'm definItely one of the outliers in my family.

"outliers" was a word I thought i'd invented for this election cycle. Not no more.

You can have it.

I've been avoiding it for weeks. It was sad. One family member asked people to stop celebratory posts! Can you imagine what they would have posted had $$$ won? One wrote a long post about all the bad things that were going to happen.

And no, this time it didn't get better after President Obama won, the emails and drumbeat were relentless. I finally called my favorite sister racist, just to get her to STFU. Still didn't work. The baseless arguments still kept hitting my inbox, several times a week.

my two brothers-in-law, but would not miss the political arguments.

Sorry my parents are dead and I have one good sis and one that is a fuckstick. The fuckstick one has all the money and has been treating the rest of us like shit for years. She can cram it. Fuck her, my family is my friends. There you can do it too.

and that's even following a victory.

I wasn't around in 2000/2004 but I imagine it was much the same following those elections.
