Today I did it. I tried one last time to get through to him. He’s a Jew. I showed him a verse from the bible (Leviticus 19:33) that says to relate to a foreigner like one of your own, as we were foreigners in egypt. He doesn’t care, tried to make up semantics about why It doesn’t mean that.
I showed him pictures of the Everglades Concentration Camp and how they’re selling merchandise, and how this is what the Nazis started with. He called me a hysterical lefty and told me “you must be the most pleasant person in the room and know everything”.
I blocked him after that. It crushes me to block one of the pillars of my life from my childhood, but I can’t associate with a fucking hypocrite or a fucking nazi supporter. He’s 60, when they cut medicare for him, I hope my sister is ready to go bankrupt paying for his medical care, because he voted for this, not me.

what a fucked up response
The lack of Medicare will do that eventually. He lives in a deep red state, so.
His job is also in the health industry, so that probably will go wrong as well.
Are you okay?
He’s not. (CW: advocacy of stochastic terrorism)
His solution to everything is mass murder of Republican voters. It’s very personal to him, something to do with his mother (he deleted that comment when I called him out and I can’t remember the details).
Regardless he apparently still goes around advocating mass terrorism with impunity and I can’t imagine why.
Edit: forgot content warning
Unless their dad is Ted Cruise, this feels like an overreaction
You have to make these ‘people’ feel pain to make them understand. Some people have to be subjugated, personally, before they can understand empathy and remorse for another. It’s fucked up, kind of like country fried Stockholm syndrome
And every one of them after.
