At niece's graduation, all is well so far. Brother arrives and I move to give him a hug. He backs off and offers his hand for a handshake.
I am surprised, embarrassed honestly. He says, well you haven't gotten the vaccine. I shake his hand, dumbfounded. We were always on different ends of the political spectrum, but I was still surprised. I shouldn't have been, in retrospect.
I just leave the area. Our oldest sister, who is liberal, but keeps an open mind (e.g., she has come across the Fauci emails, respects my decisions, etc.), I hear her rip into my brother.
Anyway for the sake of our niece, it is for her after all, I keep calm the rest of the weekend.
But I am sad. This event is not out of the blue, been probably headed this way for twenty years.
I have lost friends during the Trump administration. Some I would've drifted apart from anyway. Some it was the politics. Now family as well.
I am thankful for my sister for sticking up for me like that, she is a good oldest sibling. I will keep the peace at family events for her and my nieces' sake. I did not want peace.
Man are you patient. I would have called him a fearful retard and laughed as I walked away. I hate what this psyop war has done to the weak minded so very much.
My husband and I were uninvited to the beach with 7 other couples because we aren’t vaxxed. That same group got together with us last night inside for a party. Tell me what the difference is.

Trickle down tyranny enables all the lil pricks to come out to play... ?
A well written story about a handshake from a handshake account. Kek
Condolences, you are not alone. So many relationships lost or changed this year. Prayers for you in your situation.

The difference is you didn't dump them for their ignorance.
He'll then proceed to pick his nose with the same hand that touched yours. What a maroon...
