In reply to the discussion: Parents and kids disowning MAGA family. [View all]ancianita
(38,913 posts)15. And there's way more on that reddit thread...
-- "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 shes 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 dont understand why the youngest son and his wife havent brought the new baby around. She literally immigrated here from Mexico when she was a teenager.
These assholes dont 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.

Maybe. But as an editorial in Le Monde pointed out, there's no excuses for America this time around...

Not only is disowning not "dumb", I fucking recommend it. Unfriend/unfollow excise a few MAGA fuckstains today.
