41. No one in my family

Tue Nov 12, 2024, 07:34 PM

Nov 12

is doing Thanksgiving this year. No one feels like there's anything to celebrate, even family being together. We're all... each of us in our own way... marked by this election this year in a bad way. Between my autoimmune disease and my sisters kidney failure issues, neither of us have the energy to go the extra mile this year. And our brother, we figure, is one of the turncoat magats. My mother is in a nursing home. Sis and I will go out to say hello and spend time with her, but that's it. Thank goodness Mom is far enough gone now not to know or care about elections.

Neither Thanksgiving nor Christmas will be decorated, celebrated, or be anything like it has been in the past. Just too much depression across the family; too much worry. Beyond that, we're all squirreling away what little disposable income we have for the harder days ahead to even think about gifts, holiday food, etc.

Not ideal, but it's the truth and I don't see anything changing anytime soon. And I'd better not hear firecrackers on the fourth of July, or I'm calling the cops this year.

Maybe family dinners will be much smaller or a thing of the past. Irish_Dem Nov 12 #3

Harder? BOSSHOG Nov 12 #7

Oh yes indeed. Narcissists, sociopaths, ignorant people can never take responsibility Irish_Dem Nov 12 #8

MAGA Shitstains actually got fucking worse since Tuesday. "Sore winners" is now a goddamn thing. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #12

Shit. GB_RN Nov 12 #42

The WTF Just Happened site does a good job of chronicling the daily fuck ups of that Orange Bastard and MAGA fuckfaces. SoFlaBro Nov 13 #59

Cool. GB_RN Nov 13 #62

It's already happened to me radical noodle Nov 13 #71

This woman is spittin' straight FIRE at her family on that MAGA fuck shit. I fucking love every syllable. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #4

Yes an epic and righteous rant. Irish_Dem Nov 12 #13

Apple in the Orange Swine's mouth or no? SoFlaBro Nov 12 #25

The perfect touch! BattleRow Nov 12 #44

Thank you! Especially since I can't see the Orange Bastard EVER eating a piece of fruit or something leafy and green. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #49

Whatever these shitty MAGAs eat, those motherfuckers are still weird as fuck. SoFlaBro Nov 13 #57

Did you hear BonnieJW Nov 12 #47

My mother-in-law banned her MAGA boyfriend from T-Giving dinner, so we don't have to worry about that, thank god, but deurbano Nov 13 #68

Surprised the poster posted this solid fucking rebuke to their shithead MAGA family members. They need to hear this shit SoFlaBro Nov 12 #5

Damn... that is beautiful! Initech Nov 12 #6

I am going to copy it and paraphrase for the fucking MAGA shitstains in my family for the holidays. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #11

That is an excellent letter. Kudos. hlthe2b Nov 12 #9

Wish I could get in touch with the author! Would slap her a fucking HI-5 and hearty pat on the back with the STEEL SPINE SoFlaBro Nov 12 #10

Whoosh! peggysue2 Nov 12 #14

1 of the top fucking spikes in Google searches around 11/5:"Did Biden drop out of the race" They don't know WTF they did SoFlaBro Nov 12 #16

I agree. ShazzieB Nov 12 #32

Not so sure about that Cirsium Nov 12 #40

OMG, what a MAGNIFICENT post!!! calimary Nov 12 #15

"It's just politics. It isn't that serious," is what I heard from many of the two-digit IQ MAGA dipshits. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #18

"... it isn't that serious." calimary Nov 12 #46

Many MAGA braindeads don't think who is the President matters that much and certainly not enough to lose family/friends. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #48

Uh oh. My girlfriend just told me that I was being ridiculous & people are entitled to their opinion. I'll work on her. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #22

"What if a friend said, 'your bf is a n****r?'" "I'd be pissed at them but I wouldn't stop associating with them." Oh no SoFlaBro Nov 12 #33

Did she say that? relayerbob Nov 12 #34

Yeah, but she voted Harris. Many of the people she has as clients in South FL are MAGA turds so she gives them leeway. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #43

Well, I can sorta understand that point of view for clients relayerbob Nov 12 #53

When it comes to her earning a living, I yield and fucking offer support and guidance when asked. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #54

I wonder how many MAGAts who complained about egg prices Prof. Toru Tanaka Nov 12 #27

My favorite was the giant 50k SUVs SomedayKindaLove Nov 12 #38

Also, loads of MAGA crap--hats, t-shirts, comically huge flags & signs. Dark n Stormy Knight Nov 13 #60

K&R. That felt so good to hear someone else who is over-the-top disgusted with it all! ffr Nov 12 #20

And I think this sentiment is going out across the country, not just because of this one particular text, but many SWBTATTReg Nov 12 #23

At some point we have to show MAGA fuckheads the FO portion of FAFO. Time for them to fucking feel what we feel. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #52

This needs to go viral! Linda ladeewolf Nov 12 #24

OP is getting his stupid fucking ass dragged for not realizing that his sister is goddamn right to separate from MAGA. SoFlaBro Nov 14 #74

Well said but could have been quantified down to "You're a Fucking Idiot." NoMoreRepugs Nov 12 #26

The MAGA motherfucker is dumbfounded by the letter and still crying on Reddit about his fuck shit. SoFlaBro Nov 12 #29

I'm surpised to see how many people support the letter there since Rogan endorsed Trump white_wolf Nov 12 #36

That subreddit is about 50/50 split on hating the fuck out of what Rogan has become since covid. It broke his dumb brain SoFlaBro Nov 12 #51

Great letter, wish I could send one out to mine but it wouldn't make any difference. They think I am a lunatic. flying_wahini Nov 12 #55

Coming from the MAGA shitbirds, being called a "lunatic" is a fucking honor. Faux News has addled their shit-for-brains. SoFlaBro Nov 13 #58

Who will read it? Icanthinkformyself Nov 13 #63

The person that posted it is the target of the letter. It was received and read. SoFlaBro Nov 13 #65

Indeed. Roc2020 Nov 13 #64

Strange that it popped up in that fuckstain Rogan's subreddit but the subreddit has fucking turned against that idiot. SoFlaBro Nov 13 #66

Amen. Evolve Dammit Nov 13 #72

The commenters are metaphorically tearing his motherfucking ass up in the replies fucking supporting the letter writer. SoFlaBro Nov 14 #73
