(2,795 posts)I just commented on this very thing the other day to my husband. My MIL has always been christian conservative and a bit difficult to reason with. But she is getting even more infuriating if you get on the subject of politics.This movement by the right to absolutely drive an impenetrable wedge between people in this country is also breaking families apart. I've been told by some people I know who have been all but disowned by some of their family members because they don't hate certain people and president like they do.
My MIL isn't allowed to talk politics when she's around me. My husband made it pretty clear if we want to maintain a relationship that it's best if we don't talk about politics. It changes no one's mind and it accomplishes nothing so why destroy our relationship for nothing?
But it's hard even knowing that she thinks just like Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity does.
