Just got off the phone with bagger sister and it was doing just fine. Had sent her a birthday card as I always do, and I called her, which I always do, which she says she saves the cards and appreciates them so much, but she never does me the same.

She was happy that Champus was going to cover her costs and those of her husband with Medicare. Told her I was happy to get that health insurance next year and even when I thought I wouldn't, the fact Medicaid was the lifeline of many people and been strengthened with the ACA had taken a burden off me and people I know.

She said that really was a good thing, that people should get that when they are retired and disabled. Because that struck a cord about his situation. Well, things started to go south from there, so to speak, as we talked about Medicaid and she brought up the obligatory racist meme about 'some woman' from Latin America who had miscarried two times and come to the USA and her newborn had a heart defect and she got the baby's surgery and care 'all for free.'

Then, she decided to go with the both parties are the same and they should have reasoned things out to not scare people at the shutdown and debt default and how OBAMA TRIED TO HURT THE VETERANS and I said, Obama did not try to fuck anyone, he wanted payments to go on as promised, let's not go there, my blood pressure, etc.

She said have to agree to not agree followed up by having to say, I WILL NEVER LIKE THAT MAN, OBAMA IS JUST SO ARROGANT!!! and kept on.

She had even admitted that her husband's neverdowell sister and husband, who have broken every law and bankrupted by not being willing (not unable, not willing) to pay their bills, leaving them in a serious jam for co-signing for some years, are now getting Medicaid through the exchanges. And that their daughter works at nursing home and they are getting more money.

WHY, WHY, WHY MUST THEY HATE OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS? WHAT HAVE WE EVER DONE TO THEM? WE ARE TAKING CARE OF THEM, DAMMIT!

To which I said well, we will have to talk next year, maybe, and as she wanted to continue, I said BYE and hung up. I'm sure she's laughing her ass of now. I have tried forgiveness, tried forgetting. tried not talking about it, begged to not talk about these things. This is a wound that never heals!

FUCK THE DAMN RIGHT WING MEDIA AND THE GOP FOR BRAINWASHING! FUCK THE HATERS PAID TO SPEW HATE ON FOX NEWS!

Okay, now that is off my chest, but my heart rate is right up there after realizing once again that I DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO MY ONLY FULL BLOODED FLESH AND BLOOD FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

It's like jumping into a pit full of rattlesnakes and each time ends like a funeral. Post facts, cat pictures, anything, I cannot talk to these people. It is just tearing me up and need some support.

TIA.
