My political leanings are much different than someone I'm related to. Over the past few years they've abandoned fact-based logic and bought into right wing rhetoric and political propaganda.
I've countered some of the propaganda they've posted with fact-based information, usually accompanied by links to credible sources. In addition, I've made my own posts or started my own threads supporting positions or ideologies they clearly disagree with. While these aren't targeted at this individual, I can understand they'd disagree.
Recently, this individual has started posting laughing emojis in response. No comments. No explanation or differing opinion. Just laughing emojis.
They clearly disagree with the content, but don't have the courage to respond more fully - just posting laughing emojis. Perhaps that's their response to my previous countering of their misinformation.
I'm tired of this passive aggressive bulls**t. Should I ignore them, query them - or block them?
Ignore them. It stings more.
Blocking them will give them the 'win' in their mind.
Agreed. I grew up in a very passive aggressive family and eventually learned that not caring was the best way to counter that sort of behavior
This goes both ways, ignore them,
Again, both ways, when you fight with a pig in the mud, you both get dirty. And the pig kinda likes it.
