I'd suggest that yelling aside your mom might have a point. The fact that she is paying you sister's rent sounds extremely generous and unless your family is independently wealthy probably a financial hardship for her. Had you ever considered that the empathetic view of her side might be that she is being put in a difficult position of having to choose between paying her child's rent and being in a financially stressful position hence the yelling? Chalking it up to the by product of political leanings seems like a rationalization.

I happen to know they’re not in a remotely financially stressful position.
