My sister and I had agreed to not talk politics. She has a massive case of TDS, was an active duty marine for 20 years, worked hard in college and has three degrees. She works for an intelligence data contractor. But yesterday out of the blue, she texted me and said she is freezing her credit because she is probably going to lose her VA Disability and her job because Trump is “burning it all down.” She wants me to know I caused her this suffering because I voted for Trump. I said “Don’t you see all the corruption he is finding and dealing with?” She cried “Eveything they are claiming to find is completely lies!! he’s going to destroy the CIA! I don’t know what podcasts from what basements you are listening to but you have to think if they are lying to you.” I said “You need to ask if the media is lying to you because it has been proven that they have.” Then she said “Common ground: I’m glad USAID is gone!”

My question to you who have had family members who can’t see what is in front of their face: Is her panic and anger stemming from possibly starting to awaken and she can’t handle it? (Given that she believes USAID was corrupt and glad it’s gone.) Is she fighting to remain in denial? Why dump on me?I told her if she doesn’t like what Trump is doing, tell her congressman not me! She said “we’re done! I’m so glad you are happy!” Wow didn’t need this at the end of a terrible week with the death of my only remaining older relative, a true Trump supporter.
