"I let them"
Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could've not let them had he chosen so.
So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

Well it's kind of semantics. The symbolism behind this is not the hill you'd want to die on. Letting somebody do something can either be allowing it or simply not disallowing it. I hate Trump and his low IQ followers, but that sentence does not imply anything.
can either be allowing it or simply not disallowing it
Exactly.
When I go take a shit, did you allow it, or not disallow it? Neither, because you have no agency over me, so it'd be a stupid fucking sentence.
I'm not saying he thinks he owns his daughters like some 16th century inbred minor noble.
But connotations and implications can exist even when they weren't particularly intentional by the writer (or speaker.)
Interesting that he phrased it as liberalism.
His wrongness was so great, that it caused integer underflow and him saying something correct.
Or horseshoe theory.
With lines like "[your political opinion] is a mental disorder", why is he surprised they aren't coming?
"I voted for the idea that women aren't people, now the women in my life don't like me."
"Liberalism is a mental disorder" These people are very telling how they treat people who they think legitimately have mental illness.

Said the man who made his political opinion his whole twitter profile.
This is so sad.
Those three women deserve a better dad.
~~Boycotting Thanksgiving~~ organizing an asshole free Thanksgiving
Ftfy
Their inversion of introspection is amazing.
Your dinner, their choice
“Allowed”.
Think I found the “nice guy” underlying reasons.
"I let them vote how they wish"
Does he think not committing voter intimidation is some noteworthy deed?
There’s clearly more to this story. The simple fact that his username is “Conservative” indicates that he is one of those people that make their political ideology a major part of their identity.
This man is probably an insufferable ass.

Lol he said his kids have a mental disorder and expects them to keep talking to him.
For wanting to protect their bodily autonomy. He calls it a disease.
"Now I have been informed that all three children are boycotting thanksgiving".
Hmm, maybe it has something to do with shit talking them on twitter. Maybe, and this is just a guess, the family gatherings are not politics free zones but full of conspiracies and drama and more shit talking. Just a guess. But none of this is his fault, it's those damn brainwashed libruls who are spoiling his fun. Now how is he going to do his trump victory lap if his daughters stay away?

"I openly voted against the interests of my own children and also openly claim they have a mental disorder for their views."
Get fucked.
These people really are clueless. No appreciation at all for how their actions affect others. They get surprised when people stop putting themselves in harms way by simply not being around them.
Want your family back? Realize that what you think is some free speech populist revolution is just an excuse for a lot of people to be assholes and expect no consequences.
“My kids don’t want to hang out with me after I dismissed their opinions as a mental disorder and the party I voted for tries to control their bodies! Why must I suffer? I didn’t do anything to them directly! These kids today are so unfaaaair!”
What a jackass.
I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.
