I just don’t know how much more I can take of this crap. I’m getting silenced more and more. Most of the leftie friends, I’ve stopped talking to. I’ve stopped posting on most social media and now I’m being told to shut up by family. It’s so frustrating. Seriously, I don’t know what would I do without this group. I’m really sad.

I'm in the UK and after I mentioned Trump to my mother she went off on a complete rant about him. I asked her what it was about him she didn't like (considering she isn't political and only really watches soap opera's on TV).
She said it was the way he spoke/treated people. I asked her what about Biden she preferred and she admitted she knew nothing about him. It was bonkers. Also, she spoke about Trump with such hatred it and wouldn't listen to anything I said (although she's obviously happy for some stranger on the TV to tell her what to think).
In recounting this to my wife, I mentioned it annoyed me so much I felt like punching her down the phone, not that I ever would of course, but the sheer obstinacy really got to me. After that both my wife and my mother were 'concerned' for me and my mental well-being.
So now I don't talk about any of this to my wife much either, apart from the odd rant, but at least she hasn't had the jab and is now not wearing a mask either. I've invited my mother and her husband over for a bbq this week, we'll see how that goes.
Small victories, but learning patience had been a bitch!
