As much as I want to boycott my parents thanksgiving dinner, my dad is almost 80 and I only got so many days left to even hang out with him. Plus my mom is cool so I got that going for me.
My dad is almost 80 and a Trump supporter. Fuck that guy. Let him die lonely.
And I respect your choice. I've just never had that bad relationship with my dad. He's a fucking idiot that doesn't understand what the hell he even voted for, but he's not a terrible person. Not a good person, but not a terrible person. My dad's ignorant, not a fascist. Which I'm sure a lot of people that voted for him fall under that category. Even if it is unfortunate.
But I fully support your choice. If your dad is anything like the dude in this post he's probably not a good person.
Noooo if you don't disown him, you're letting Trump win! You have to cut every loved one who voted Trump out of your life RIGHT NOW!....
....at least if you want to follow the advice that was repeatedly thrown my way when I expressed a similar sentiment about not abandoning my elderly father
People are going non contact with people who are toxic, not just because of how they voted. Dude in the screenshot clearly has more going on than just how he voted that drove his daughters to go no contact. You can read his reaction and recognize that
Yes, I'm aware. I'm referring to OC's comment and the response I got when I said something similar (that I was struggling to talk to my dad after the election but I didn't want to disown him over it). The same hyperbole I've seen dozens of times here.
It's the political version of the awful relationship advice from reddit.
Instructions unclear, deleted the gym
"My girlfriend cried the other day and I don't know if I did something wrong or she's upset about something else"
BREAK UP WITH HER, HIRE FACEBOOK, DELETE THE GYM, AND HIT A LAWYER
I'm honestly so much happier to not have those people in my life. You do you, centrist/troll man, but a lot of us can see the mental health benefits and are happy to burn the bridges.
