Somewhere between a and b - for your own wellbeing.

I'm having huge problems with my brother in law and his (very) right wing Christian evangelical Trump and hard brexit loving family. They love Trump because he tickles their tummies on abortion and immigration and have what might most charitably be called an 'old testament' view of homosexuality and pretty much any form of diversity.

They all shout this stuff on Facebook and it is incredibly hard to resist wading in. It's my wife's side, she also despairs, but who am I to throw the grenades even though I utterly despise and reject everything they stand for?

It chews me up... so don't get chewed up too.

Merry Christmas OG x
