Just remember, the law of physics is for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction. Ask yourself how did we get back in the same situation with Trump? The last four years was no picnic either.

I feel like the MAGA folks are living in a different county than I am. The president gets a “gift” of a jet from Qatar, then announces Qatar is building a base on U.S. soil. US citizens are being beaten and imprisoned for exercising their right to peaceful protest. The administration ignores court orders and any laws with which they don’t agree. The president demands the AG prosecute his enemies, and fires any attorneys who won’t follow his orders, even if they’re unlawful. J6 rioters are pardoned. Grocery store prices are increasing and the government issues a report that the policy of deporting immigrants will put be even more pressure on prices. People are snatched off the streets by masked men, placed in unmarked vehicles and disappeared into prisons in other countries. Sure Biden’s presidency wasn’t perfect, but how can it even begin to compete with the Trumps’s attempt to burn the constitution?

Call it an equal but opposite reaction to the insanity and lawlessness of the Biden Administration. Just saying.

Tell me what you mean. Give a list. Biden himself because you don't want us to get into Donald's kids and inlaws now do you, sweetie?

Maybe try to listen to independent media, tons of examples. Late Friday, I don't have time to type it out for the brainwashed NoVa progressives. Enjoy your protests tomorrow. I'm sure it will make a difference.

DP. You got nothing. We knew.

Would you say that when you voted for Joe Biden you specifically voted for a rapid drawdown of forces from Afghanistan or for the Border Patrol not to do DNA testing on family units of migrants crossing the border to determine whether children were being trafficked? Or were you voting for a general direction without knowing every last policy decision that Biden’s staff would make? OP’s father didn’t specifically vote for reduction in force including his daughter’s position, or for furloughs. He voted for Trump more generally. Nobody agrees with everything their standard-bearer does.

We know where this poster gets their news.

Mostly Wall Street Journal, actually.

Nope my father is 90 years old. And never voted for Trump. He's too smart for that.

MAGAs love their narratives. They DGAF if any of it is real or not though.

You should read NY Times instead. They’re usually pretty good, although there was one reporter who went overboard with a couple stories falsely claiming that the Biden Administration had lost track of a bunch of migrant children. They should have fired her for that.

I'm not a trump fan but I have no problem with people exercising their right to.vote for whoever they choose. It's a free country OP, get over yourself.

Honestly, I would back away. I personally can’t get past how Trump voters not only support but are gleeful about the violence ICE is committing in our country. I can’t get the scene of the Germans taunting and cheering as families and children were drug from their homes, and loaded on trucks for death camps in Schindler’s List. Your father is one of those Germans cheering on the Nazis.

what an awful response.

same boat. thankfully my dad doesn’t look close by, but he does visit with my mom. I have to tolerate the visits for the sake of my mom and my kids. Grateful that the visits are very infrequent.

It’s disgusting and despicable to support a person that has dehumanized and denigrated so many groups in our country. Not to mention, he’s just a flat out criminal. Could go on and on and on. I’m from New York and it still blows my mind but this guy even got nominated in 2016.

history will not be kind to Trump or anyone that supported him.

Unforgivable to support this man.

May be a free country (for now) but a terrible moral reflection on anyone who supports him.

I’m part of the generation who always proclaimed we would have fought Nazis and offered shelter to Anne Frank. Yet, here we all are negotiating how close we want to be to the people who voted our own Nazis into power.

exactly

I empathize with you. My parents both voted for Trump. Just remember it’s just politics - there are many reasons Trump would be attractive. For my parents, in their mid 70s, it’s the Fox fear mongering and lack of influences outside their retiree/church circle. It’s actually sad they’ve lost the ability to think for themselves. Is supporting Trump a reason to throw my cognitively declining parents to the curb? Not in my opinion. I’ll reconsider when/if they become abusive.

Arresting people who have warrants for their arrest?

So you are basically in favor of NOT enforcing the law and letting everyone else just deal with the consequences. If you want to support underprivileged people in other countries with your private dollars, please find a charity and donate, rather than obligating other Americans. Not wanting millions of illegal immigrants who have broken many laws, both criminal and civil, to be deported does not make me or OP's dad a Nazi.
