Scenario

When siblings use parents as political proxies

My brother and I inherited very different political perspectives from different phases of our family's life and now we're both trying to help our aging parents navigate political conversations at family events. We keep getting into proxy wars through our parents and it's making everything worse for everyone but we can't seem to stop.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two family members are unconsciously triangulating their political differences through their parents, creating systemic dysfunction that serves no one's actual needs.
