      Thank you! I think her radicalization started last year after she had a falling out with another cousin.

      So last summer my family on my dad’s side was on a family vocation(I wasn’t there, but I’m aware of what happened during the trip), and my cousin (to maintain privacy we’ll call her Elisa) had a friend over. From what I’ve heard her friend didn’t have a good time being there because my other cousin had very racist things to say to her face and admitted that he was proud to be a white supremacist; he’s also a zionist, I’ve seen him wear a zof shirt. Elisa was very upset and started yelling at him and apparently the entire house was quiet for hours after the argument.

      I’ll say this though, it was one of the few times I actually discussed politics with a family member since I have boundaries where I don’t have conversations about politics with family members.

        That’s horrible. I’m also dealing with a bad family member who is also racist.

        Good to hear! At least you can talk to someone else in your family (I cannot talk to anyone in my family about this because I can hardly talk to them at all).
