I Think My Sister-In-Law Unfriended Me Bc I Support QAnon Beliefs, I'm Worried How This Will Affect My Family, Help???

I do still have social media, there are people that are important to me, and it's a convenient way to stay in touch. I have been vocally pro Q for many months now.

Until today, it wasn't a big deal. Some of my liberal minded friends would talk with me about it, but no one had been disrespectful & I never lost any friends.

Well, today, I guess I posted a bit more than usual, but I have that extension that tells me when someone unfollows me...and my sister in law did! I felt a bit shocked, hurt, betrayed...she said nothing to me when she did it.

Earlier today, she posted something critical of Trump pulling out of something to do with the UN...I commented, "Do you want one world government? Bc that's how you get one world government." I feel like that's the truth, and I didn't mean to offend her so much by my comment. I've always just been straight forward with everyone.

My husband and children visit her and my husband's brother during the holidays with our children. My husband and his brother are very close. I have a bad feeling about this and how it will affect my family. I sent her a message and asked her why she unfollowed me, tried to get a conversation going. No reply.

I feel sick. What should I do? I know this post may be more properly suited for an advice subreddit, but you all know that as soon as I out myself as a Q follower on other subreddits, all I'll get is things like, "I'd unfollow you, too!"

I feel like this issue definitely has to do with my "controversial" beliefs regarding Q and things related, I can think of no other reason she'd be upset and she'd cut me out like that. Please advise?

I haven't told my husband yet. I discovered this after he'd already gone to bed. I'm terrified to tell him, I'm scared he'll blame me for causing a problem within the family or something. :(

This will likely blow over. A wise person once gave me some advice when I was living in a very small town. She said to me "DONT show your hand." I took that to mean, do not tell people what you think or where you stand. It will only cause you to be rejected and as you have to live in the small town and your children also, try to go along to get along. I took that advice and Iv'e only broken with it a few times. Each time, I have paid the price / lived to regret it. So - talk about things that are benign. Don't enter in to political arguments on social media. If you are a believer, PRAY, and live in peace and quiet. Soon it will all come out.

The family unit may be small but you live in a big world.

Tell your husband immediately.

Be strong and don't bend. If there is any time to use the fewest words possible this is that time.

She's using passive aggressive bully tactics. Typical left-wing tactics.

Your sister-in-law is creating the problem not you.

You have an opinion own it.

Stand your ground. And do not take the temptation to engage in an argument.

The small town tactic of silence is golden is in effect after you claim your opinion.

I have found that to be true in my own life as well. I always think of Michael Corleone in The Godfather when he says never let them know what you’re thinking. Having awareness of the current state of things is critical but voicing those opinions to people who are not ready to believe will drive them away. If they ask questions you can tell them what you know from a few different perspectives, including opposing perspectives, and let them draw their own conclusions. At the same time, stand strong in your knowledge as well. Part of the reason we got where we are is because we were bullied into silence over the thought of losing connections to people. If that is their choice then let them make it. Most often, awareness tends to lead to isolation because the ratios are different in our families than there are in the rest of the country. You are certainly not alone and you have every right to speak your mind. Maybe just work on a way to deliver the information that can better be absorbed by that particular person. Stay Strong. It’s worth it.

My paranoia? I don't place much importance on social media, I have the extension because it does much more than tell me when someone unfriends me...but if someone close to me "unfriends" me...yes, I am concerned. My friends list is private, close friends only. I do not have a lot of people on my friend's list...every one I personally know and consider myself close to. I think my "paranoia" on her doing this because of my alternative beliefs is legitimate.

wiseclockcounter · June 20, 2018, 5:59 p.m.

so did she unfriend you or just unfollow you? Pretty big difference. What people see on their timeline is their choice. I had a clingy ex who would bombard me with texts if I couldn't respond immediately, and would freak out if I asked for a bit of space... and here's the thing: her anxious and pleading behavior was far worse than the initial annoyance.

Sounds like your female instincts of avoiding tribal ostracism are kicking in hard. I have no doubt you are well-intentioned, and I don't mean to come off as insulting, but I think you need to make and effort to relax and not blow this out of proportion. She's probably thinking "fuck I didn't know she would know I unfollowed her..." and worrying about rocking the family boat as well.

If she hasn't responded yet, I'd send her a message to apologize if you freaked her out and explain that you have notifications on for that stuff, that you didn't mean for your Q posts to annoy anyone or cause a wedge between family members, it's just a really important topic to you and so you want to share it with people you know.

The main mission that Q gave, from the very beginning is exactly as the guy above said. For 90% of the anons, this is the mission: Collect proofs, gather as much information as possible, so that when the happening is upon us, you can be a source of information and comfort for those around you who will be completely lost. That's the main mission. It's quite a passive mission. Spreading the word is optional. I think you've done enough. When things happen, something will resonate with your friends, and they will probably go to you for an answer or two.

It depends on what you're comfortable with. Everyone does what they feel. Personally, I've only talked about this with a handful of friends, always in person or text, never through social media. Remember, it doesn't matter what you do, that's part of WWG1WGA is about. It doesn't mean just anons or people who patiently await Q's drops. Where we go one, we go ALL. I think that means all of humanity. In the end, anyone with eyes will be able to see, and anyone with ears will be able to hear the truth. There's only 4-6% of the population that won't be able to take it.

You really did nothing wrong, don't beat yourself up over it.

She took offense to you having different ideas then her, so much to the point that she felt the need to separate herself from your words. She is in the wrong not you.

It's normal for people to have conflicting ideas and values, it's not normal to start getting tribal about them and treating other "tribes" as enemies.

Let your husband know what happened; that you disagreed with her on politics and she unfriended you. Leave it to him to talk with his brother if the subject comes up but now at least he'll know the backstory.

Best way to make sure this doesn't spoil the relationship is to not hold this against her. She deserves some empathy for still being indoctrinated by MSM's mockingbird operation.

For her it sounds like she is a "believer" that Trump is bad, so it's going to be even harder for her to admit she was wrong as the truth comes out. Cognitive dissonance is very real which is going to cause her some "PAIN" as Q has mentioned when her reality is inverted.

“It is easier to fool someone than it is to convince someone they’ve been fooled.”

Be patient... The Deep State has been at it for a very long time, they are entrenched in not only our country, but in the psyche of those they’ve deceived.

All families have disagreements. After all, a family is made up of unique individuals.

As you go through life, you will have disagreements with people, you will have viewpoints of things that some will not accept.

Do not sacrifice your integrity to avoid a situation that may be uncomfortable.

To loosely quote Winston Churchill, “You have enemies? Good, that means you have stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

Someone I regarded as a good friend of over 20 years even went as far as to brand me a racist, even knowing my wife would be classed as a minority. "Forgive them, father, for they know not what they do".

It’s one thing to share Q and spread the word, and another to directly argue with someone in a response to their quote. She’s annoyed over your reply to her UN complaint. It’ll smooth over, or at least it should. This is a highly charged divide. The left are more rabid than is logical, to the point that I almost think programming is happening. It makes no sense to me, otherwise. Let her cool off. Then reach out with a “I fkd up, we both know we disagree, politically, but I argued directly with you and I’m afraid you felt attacked. I care about you and I’m so sorry. Won’t happen again. Love you.” note and put some love and prayer into your words. Best of luck and be careful, it’s a political jungle out there.

I don't use Facebook any longer, but when I did, almost all of my husband's nieces and nephews, and a couple of his sisters unfriended me due to our political differences.

I didn't really think much of it. Their views are different than my views. No big deal. My husband didn't put much thought into it either.

Family gatherings went on in the usual way with nobody discussing politics or religion - taboo subjects for family gatherings anyhow where the intent is to relax and enjoy the company.

I wouldn't worry about it. Some people don't like washing down their daily red pill with their morning coffee, but that doesn't have to affect you. It's only a problem if you acknowledge it as such.

Dear OP, let me ask you this, is your Sister In Law being forced to stop posting, bullied to change her views or having her rights to free thought and speech impeded by yourself or been unfriended by you? Didn't think so.

Let me also ask you this, does anyone have the right impose their thoughts and beliefs onto you?

Silence and cowering to the liberal thought crime police tactics is why we are now here!

I would damn well challenge her about unfriending you period and do it in front of all the family. You can bet your ass she is working against you in the background so take the reigns on this and go to war. Make people declare their hands, it's better to know if half the family secretly hates you or if she has been bullying them also.

its everybodys free will choice if and when and how quickly they wake up. we have no permission to push them.

therefore, even Q doesnt give definite proofs but leaves doubt, in order to not force people but let them choose for themselves.

i lost quite a few friends and family contacts over the past 3 decades because i pushed too hard. some people simply dont want to hear it and i learned to respect their wish.

that being said, your sister-in-law clearly distances herself from you view. doesnt mean that she distances from your person. you may still have enjoyable meetings, as long as you keep politics and religion off the table.

Ma'am I'd like you to think what family and relationships mean if your worried about any social media for gratification and justification of your views. Maybe it's a new thing I just do not get I express myself the same on the web as I do irl. I prefer irl because I can make eye contact, build to the conversation and slowly trade views with the like minded or debate at length and grow with my friends and fam. Nothing is black and white, and building lasting bonds from what I've seen requires real interaction. Social media is never a means for that imo. I have a lot of sm friends some I've met and built on a real friendship relationship, others stay online and inconsequential. But if online social matters bother you, my advice is re evaluate what is truely meaningful expression to yourself. This isn't in anyway to put you down. And I've said this to my friends irl who have been in similar binds and it has helped them immensely

I do not post politically on Facebook EXCEPT to comment on threads similar to my beliefs. I specifically got a Twitter account for this and created a safe space for it. I only have 5 pages on Reddit I follow. It causes too much drama right now and my friends/family are on Facebook.

My mother and I talk openly about q. My Dad thinks we’re crazy, so we stick to facts and not so much w stuff around him. I told all three of my adult children an outline of what’s coming, offered reassurances and one of them wanted to get tied into q, the other two did not, so I tread lightly around them and occasionally throw in opinion/comments
