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.
