All my family on my father`s side are totally in the Trump camp!
They also are totally against peaceful protesters and very pro Police!
A recent conversation with my half brother went like this --
I asked him if he believes that the Police are violating the civil rights of people of color'
when they stop them and ask for ID and demand to search them just because they are walking down the street in a predominately white neighborhood?
His response was two fold -- He said if the person of color(not the word he used) has done nothing wrong then he has nothing to worry about!
Then he said if the person of color refuses to ID then it should be obvious to the Police that he is hiding something!
I said what???? You do realize what you just said? I then said this is not a Police state!
Then I posted that picture of the peaceful protester in Portland who was hit in the face with rubber bullets by the FEDs and is currently in the hospital on my Facebook page!
My half brother posted a smiley face icon that said HaHa!
That was the last straw -- mind you I have been turning the other cheek more than my fair share to try to maintain harmony in the family!
Well I needed to get his attention that what he did was not cool!
So before we start -- YES, I also pulled a douchebag move, but after the fact I deleted my douchebag move!
To delete his douchebag move I had to delete my post and repost it on Facebook!
I went to his Facebook page where he posted about a Police officer getting shot and injured and i posted a Ha ha face!
He went ballistic!! I pointed out that this protesters life was equally as important as the Police officers life! That they both had family and loved ones! Of course he disagreed, but I told him your last name is the same as mine and I can be a jerk just like you!! I then told him that I also support the police, but I do believe there needs to be Police reform! he said -- there does not need to be {Police reform! If you do nothing wrong you have no reason to be afraid of the Police! I then offered him a truce and told him you stay off my page unless you have some thing that is not a smart ass remark and i will stay out of your page!
Bottom line, I have a lot of friends who disagree with me but it does not go to the point of being a douchebag! I have told them I will not delete them from my page!
We have interesting dialogue!
But my half brother IMO needed to experience what he had done on my page so I became a douchebag....I did delete the Haha after the fact with the understanding that his douche baggery was not welcome!
Ok...I am finished venting!
