My sister has blocked me

I would just avoid politics. You hold very different views on things, but that’s not to say you don’t love her as a sister with your shared history. My sister and I are different and we agree to differ, we had years apart but I can honestly say despite our differences we love each other. I don’t know why your sister makes cruel comments, surely she doesn’t mean them, that’s nothing to do with different political views, it’s like saying all labour supporters are the kind ones and Conservative supporters the opposite which clearly is not the case.there is good and bad in every aspect of life. We can’t all think and be the same.

You can still love her while accepting she is somewhat stupid.
May be best thing is to accept her like you accept a child who does not know any better. It is unlikely you will be able to educate your sister.
Can you tolerate her stupidity?

Honestly OP your sister sounds dreadful. I would enjoy the quiet. If she reappears on social media put her on limited profile. If she says offensive stuff just say you don't want to discuss.

A detrimental comment about Prince Philip especially just after he died would be unforgivable to me.

A comment about a severely disabled 16 year old having to die sometime would be unforgivable to me.

Is she someone you would have as a friend? you do not have to have a relationship with someone just because you are blood-related to them.

The comment about your friend's 16 year old son would be enough for me to block her! What a bl**dy wicked thing to say!!

Not sure what/why you would want to do/deal with this?
Your very strained relationship seems to have been based on you keeping your mouth closed whilst a tone deaf, insensitive and bombastic person sounds off about any subject she chooses, with no respect for the feelings or opinions of others. Bet you'd never have tolerated this for years if this was a 'friend'. Family often believe they are untouchable!

I'd do absolutely nothing. If she reappears, you have a chance to lay down some new ground rules before she assumed that everything can be put right between you. If she doesn't - well there must be so many people you'd rather spend time with. Life may be too short to quarrel, but it's certainly too short to waste on those who don't value you and your feelings.

She blocked you so she can unblock you.
I wouldn't rush back into the old ways while feelings are still running high.
Once the last parent goes, your siblings have known you for longer than anyone else and that counts for a lot.

I have friends whose politics are different, whose lifestyles are different but we still like and appreciate eachother. Friendship can reach beyond the arcane.

My reaction too !

I don’t see the link between you finding the post ‘endearing’ and whether I should leave this alone

Nor do I.

I’d leave it. There are worse things than not meeting up with your sister ! You can’t choose your relatives….

I stopped talking to one of my Aunt's after she was horrible about Janette Krankie

Could you perhaps give her a very wide berth for a while and let her approach you in future?

There's an old saying - if the person you are talking to doesn't leave you feeling good when you finish the conversation then you should thin k twice about having them in your life. We can choose our friends but not our family. She clearly doesn't want you in her life so sit it out.

Watching a documentary last night about Philip and his night clubbing and possible affairs in the earlier part of their marriage I m only surprised at public adoration

My mum always used to tell my dad, never talk about about religion or politics when we went out visiting. He used to like to get on his soap box.
My sister can't stand Boris, I like him. I respect her opinion, she mine.
Tell your sister that politics is out of the conversations as you don't want to get into any arguments.
Don't worry about it.

i was sad when I decided, after our mother's death, not to have anything mre to do with my sisters. They both spent their time making horrible, denigrating commnets about me to Mother - which she believed. As for face to face - that was an excerise in keeping my mouth zipped and ears blocked. My children where shocked when they heard them going for me! I would cry for hours after seeing them.
If it is out of loyalty, don't see her. If you genuinely like her company, then carry on. My DH and DCs said cutting my sisters out of my life was one of the best things I did!

what do you want to do?

I don't find your post endearing so probably best that you just leave the whole subject alone.

Agree to disagree and stay away from politics . You will always have different views so it would be good to ignore your differences and recognize anything you do have in common. Family is very special , I have one sister and we are close but different. I would hate to fall out with her. Hope you can both find something on your sistership to celebrate. I wish you both good luck !

I think it's easier to not have family on facebook or just have them in a separate group for family related matters, if necessary - especially if you are going to talk about politics as it never ends well.

I hope she didn't say the comment about her friends son to her friend. That is incredibly ignorant and unfeeling.
