Parents and kids disowning MAGA family.

Fuckers thought it was just a football game. Something that didn't really matter to anyone. They could own the libs and take a few gloats at thanksgiving, and everyone would take it in good fun.

Now they're discovering that this was no joke. This was life and death for some of the people they chose to fuck over. And now they're dumbfounded. How could anyone take this seriously? What do you mean my kids have written me off as a Nazi? This was only football!

This isn't nearly the fun [they] thought it would be.

She told my husband she and her best friend parted ways Wednesday.

And even before the election her and the husband were living in different parts of their home with limited interaction. Luckily she’s a flight attendant who now does international jobs that keeps her away 4-5 days at a time.

that has daughters will probably be dumbfounded (which is easy for them) when they begin getting visits from the MCA (Menstruation Cycle Authority). They'll be there checking why their daughter failed to register her scheduled monthly cycle and demand they be allowed to perform a pregnancy test on her immediately.

These fools have no idea who or what they voted for.

-- "You just don't get it.
There should be no consequences for my actions.
You must love me unconditionally and desire my company even though I wilfully voted for the party that directly harms you, your interests, your friends, and your values, especially just to spite you."

-- "Fucker, no! This isn't a disagreement about what temperature we want the thermostat in the house to be set to.
By voting for Trump, you are literally saying that you are okay with others losing rights and healthcare and handing the keys over to Russia for what?! $0.50 less in gas?
Do you think the housing market is going to bounce back?
Do you even understand why it's high in the first place?
Do you think we're going to spend less on food? F
ucker, do you even know how tariffs work?!

You have voted against the very foundation on which my morals are based because you chose to believe in a pathological liar.
We are NOT okay. "

-- "My SIL is gay and got married back in 2020.

This dumbass and her wife voted for Trump.

When my wife basically told her she’s going to take some time away from her and the rest of the delusional Trumpers in the family they basically made themselves the victim.

These are the same family members that don’t understand why the youngest son and his wife haven’t brought the new baby around. She literally immigrated here from Mexico when she was a teenager.

These assholes don’t realize that they just made her life 20x harder with the stroke of a pen."

-- "Yep, I am clearly taking this too seriously when I think about not wanting to be murdered.

Or not even wanting anyone else to be murdered! I'd prefer it if we don't murder anyone!

But apparently that's an anti-American stance now."

-- "Disowning family isn't punishing them. It's accepting the punishment they inflicted. A vote for Trump is a message that they don't want you around. "

-- "It isn't like we're disagreeing on what sort of salad we like. The impact of your vote is going to be a hammer dropping on huge swathes of people. It is literally killing people as we speak with the abortion bans. I don't give a fuck if your eggs are expensive and neither are you when you're shouting at the doctors for someone to save your bleeding daughter. When your uncloseted trans kid offs themselves. When you're booted off the ACA.

For the Trumpers I hope they get exactly what they voted for. The rest? How fucking unfortunate we're a country of morons and politically illiterate fuckwads and we're gonna have to suffer because of that. Business dying because of illegals being deported? Oh no how sad for you. Tariffs fucking your bonuses as companies panic? 2badsosad. Consequences for voting in reprehensible fucks into office? SURPRISE PIKACHU FACE."

-- "“We can agree to disagree on tastes in music. We cannot agree to disagree on basic human rights”.

My wife and I are of one mind on this. They are not welcome in our sight much less our house. I don't want to ever see them or hear from them until they come to their senses. If not, I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire and they been made uber well aware of our position. Harsh? Yes. But the democracy our fathers, uncles, great uncles fought for and so many DIED for is far more important to me than maintaining family ties with fascists. They've been told some time ago to go fuck themselves.

My dad thinks it's perfectly fine to point out to me large breasted women and talk about how much he admires them. He is also unsympathetic about me being raped numerous times. He thinks I did something wrong like went to the wrong party perhaps...

My brother got together with a woman who is a Nazi. So is her brother. Her father was SS. No way do I want anything to do with any of them ever...

Do you think I should?

Regardless, I won't and it's for safety reasons and perfectly legit and perfectly fine for me to not ever communicate with them...

I’m lucky that my immediate family are solid liberals who would never vote for the felon. However, my extended family are all MAGA and I’ve had to put them on ignore since 2016 and I will continue to do that. Acting like there are no consequences for what they’ve brought upon us is impossible for me; there’s no compromise with hate, racism and those who ushered this in.

But all of a sudden thought he was “ok.” So he knew fully what a POS Trump is. Luckily I’m past the age of getting pregnant, but his daughter isn’t. I think she voted for Harris. He went to a Trump rally even.

Fri Nov 8, 2024, 02:22 PM

That is exactly what MAGA thought. I had made a post about this earlier, that my fear about Trump would win because his base would be treating this election like some sort of rival football game and their sole focus would be on winning that game, not the consequences. All they wanted was that short adrenaline moment of "in your face libs!".

They are taking us all down with them, and don't even realize that yet. But they will soon enough, and it will be too late.

My mother is 82, and a Trump voter. I haven't spoken to her since and don't know when I will again. My dad, who votes Dem, told her how upset her children are and she responded, "I don't really care."

She's a senile old lady who believes everything she reads on Facebook, but she's been with him for 10 years.

Part of me wants to tell me her vote cost her her relationship with me permanently, but I need a little more time.
