So conversations with my sister today that rather shocked me. A Thread.
So firstly she told me that Joe Biden was a terribly left wing person, when as far as I can tell he's about as close to being a Republican as a democrat can get. Ok fair. What's next.
Oh well they're both bad people but Trump is doing good things. Like what I ask, no real answer there. Ok what about his Coronavirus handling I ask, he did handle it she says by saying states should take care of that. I ask how is that going? She doesn't answer.
At this point she deflects and tells me I need to get my check up at Johns Hopkins, I tell her I was told not until after this situation should I, a person with a lung condition, be going to a hospital, and that is what my liaison at JH has said. She presses.
So I deflect to talk about police reform to which she says, well protesting won't get us anywhere. It just makes it worse. So what do we do just let people be oppressed, just let them be killed by cops. She seems stumped really by this but deflects with some weird strawman.
She says that her being called a firecrotch as a kid was as bad as a black person being called a monkey. At which point I am like are you kidding me. That is harassment, and probably in some form sexual related, but racism is inherently worse than that statement.
In no way am I saying sexual harassment or such deserves to be around, but jesus christ those are not in any way a fair comparison. In the last few years we're working for equal rights for all. "all men are created equal", in any case it was ridiculous.
Then of course she ends by saying I shouldn't let politics get between me and my dad. But seriously, you spout political bullshit, quasi racist shit, I can't stand for that. At least my sister makes some form of sense, if not a lot, my dad is worse, and its ridiculous. End thread
