How many of you cut off your MAGA relatives?

DP. My children are also biracial and the URM side of the family is MAGA (or at least Trump voters), largely due to religious beliefs.

Never had anything said or done that threatens their safety or denied their basic humanity.

YMMV

Good lord. Them voting for the party that embraces and promotes racism and violence is the exact act that threatens their safety and denies them their basic humanity.

She’s probably MAGA too because of her cognitive dissonance. I have a MAGA family member with biracial girls who is more worried about my white boys. It’s crazy, but they can’t see reality.

Are you the white parent? As a biracial woman myself, trust me when I tell you, your children have a different racial experience than you. They feel and notice things that you do not, that you cannot. And a time will likely come where they inform you that they have absolutely experienced racism from your MAGA family. And they will spend lots of money on therapy coming to terms with the fact that their own parent cared more about keeping the peace with these people than protecting them.

PP said it was the URM side of the family who is MAGA. PP says it’s based on religious beliefs so you can guess which URM they are talking about. So no the MAGA side isn’t being racist, they are the URMs!

+1000

Just stop with the myth of MAGA is racist. Tons of BIPOC people voted for trump. Latinx people voted for trump. Even LGTBQIA++ people support trump.

Trump had more black voters this time than any republican in the last 30 years. This concept that he does not welcome or appeal to minorities is not supported by the data.

Ma'am, that's your perception and opinion; it's not "reality." I know plenty of minority Trump voters- in fact it was a black man to urged me to consider Trump when I planned to vote for Hillary. You can't just dismiss people with different views and experiences as irrational.

If you believe in one very specific version of heaven, then you vote with your mind on the afterlife, not the worldly life.

That's why so much of religion is dangerous.

Violence and humanity don't matter in heaven.

Irrational worldviews can be dismissed as irrational. Trump voter regret is absolutely yuuuuge right now.

Sometimes it’s safer to distance yourself from people who normalize hateful language that dehumanizes others.

Were those messages posted by your family members?

Actually, my family members have said things worse than the young Republicans. In public. In a very loud tone of voice. They are all MAGA, unsurprisingly.

Family means nothing in this environment.

You are evil and calculating to not allow your children to even visit their grandparents because of politics.

It’s not just “politics.”

More of few is still not much. Most people of color vote against Republicans, just as they did for Trump. And the reason for that is the known racism that underlies their policies and is prevalent in their rhetoric. Anyone voting for this and pretending it has nothing to do with racism is a disingenuous liar.

And unfortunately they are going to find out, along with the Hispanic and Asian Trump voters, that it wasn't a good idea.

If your family isn't white or wasn't in the United States before the Civil War, the masterminds behind the current Trump administration don't want you here. They have stated this in public.

I am a non-white immigrant and my family feels more welcome here in US than ever before. I don't know who are you referring to as "they", but me and my children were very welcome here. Absolutely no regret for voting for Trump.
