      The person you are replying to has obviously never suffered a real loss, and probably needs to go touch grass.

      I sympathize with you. Sounds like you and your family are doing the best they can given an extremely shitty hand dealt to you.

        Really didn’t expect them to fly off the handle like that. We’re doing okay, my mom just has a lot to deal with right now. We’ve all been uncomfortable around my grandparents for a while, even before MAGA. I’m not above cutting contact, I already did with my older sister. But my mom is different and she needs to keep a relationship with her parents for her own sake, so I gnash my teeth in private and vent to my wife and we all keep the peace.

        My uncle is a different story. He is very much not MAGA, so his cancer diagnosis is just a really shitty cherry on top.

                    So, like, are you trying to convince people to join your cause here? Something about honey and vinegar you probably weren’t taught.

                    I really hope you find some way enjoy your life, it seems you really like being a miserable person

                    E: I’m sure you won’t admit you’re going about this in a way that doesn’t really help anyone, but you’re on the right side of history, just take a moment to reflect on how to best convince people if you want to be the best version of that person. Anyhow, feel better dude
