Not looking for sympathy, but I want this to be one more example of vax health issues and pregnanvy issues.
My brother in law and sister in law are a surgeon and pharmacist, respectively. They are hard left and always complain about conservatives, Chic fil a (not kidding), and conspiracy theorists. I have always been told to never talk about politics around them and I can't speak up when they bring up these topics, trust me, i fought back on this several times, but I'm barred from saying anything since that whole side of the family thinks im insane. Keeping their professions in mind, they also had a 20 minute conversation about "What even is ivermectin? Ive never even heaed of it."
Just 2 months ago i had to endure a whole weekend of listening to them talk about how people are insane for not taking the vax. They also announced that same weekend that they were having a baby, which is a custom baby via artificial insemination. "They did all kinds of test to make sure it would be the strongest of the bunch and we should have no problems. Here we are 2 months later and it's gone. I had this scenario in the back of my head since then, so im not shocked at all, but they are obviously upset.
Since i mentioned they think I'm crazy, ill bring up that over New Years when all the satanists have their performances on TV, they themselves said, "wow... that was really creepy." I told them what symbolism they were seeing and what these people believe, which they seemed to listen to. THEY BROUGHT IT UP! All i did was give more detail, but they talked about me behind my back and made fun of me. I'm so sick of this! I feel sorry for the baby. May Christ take his soul!
Again, i just want this out there for 1 more example.
First off, never stop talking just because someone doesn't want to hear it. Too fricken bad. I have to listen to leftist propaganda all day they can listen to me. That make my blood boil. Stop letting crazy lefties make you feel crazy. Stop letting crazy lefties dictate the way you are going to behave. Stop complying
I feel the same way, but like OP here I’m told to keep quiet and the lefties get to run their mouths. All I can do is glare and think how stupid they all are.
Why do you only have that one option?
I’m told to “be the bigger person”. Sucks cause like you said the leftists get to screech the lies at the top of their lungs and people like us are told to stay silent
I find the best way to defuse the situation is calmly and kindly request that politics are not discussed in the workplace, these topics are very hotly debated and creates a hostile work environment. Those buzz words "hostile work environment" generally gets the managers panties in a bunch and they squash the lefty loons quickly. If they continue, you can file an HR complaint. If the company is woke and allow it to continue, you can hire a lawyer and sue. I hate lawyers, but I love using their own broken system against them.
