I can't deal so frankly they can die alone. My brother (only sibling) feels the same way as he is more liberal than I am.
It truly is a cult--my parents have put Trump
above a relationship with their own kids.

And you've put politics above your parents, and they raised you and your brother.

They did not do a very good job if they wanted me to approve of putting a pussy-grabbing con artist billionaire in power over my children.

Well, according to your stellar regard for yourself and your beliefs, they did an amazing job!!

I know you mean well but this is a very good example of privilege. My children are biracial so no I will not have them around family members who lie and say Jan 6 was BLM and antifa or that the proud boys and unite the right rally are good things. You dont love me or my partner or children if you support politicians/polices/lies that threaten their safety and deny them basic humanity. This is not an intellectual exercise for many people. These are our lives.

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

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.

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.

For your sake, I hope that stays the same pp.

Vance has already stated that "heritage Americans" are preferred.My maga family members agree and are heartedly behind any non white immigrants leaving / being deported.

I think it is totally fine that Vance said that American's shall always have a priority, it does not make me feel unwelcomed or uncomfortable here in US. It is still the best country in the world.

Still feel welcomed here recent immigrate?
Because this means you.

Yes, I still feel welcomed. I personally did not receive the order to "reimigrate" or any removal order. Why should I feel unwelcomed?

This is confusing. Are you saying they forced you to vote for Trump? Or you had a freedom to make your own choice and voted for Harris? If you indeed voted for Harris, that means that they did an increasable job raising you as an independent thinker.

NP.

Agree completely. Obviously they are referring to illegal aliens. Nothing wrong with encouraging illegal aliens to return to their home countries.

I’ve got a family of MAGAs, my older sister and her husband and two kids. We were very close and our kids spent a lot of time together even with the large gaps in age.

My mother is failing at 90 years old and the MAGAs don’t even call never mind visit. She’s been a long time widow. It falls on me and my younger sister to help her as she’s been legally blind for three years. We take care of getting paid help, taking her to doctors, grocery shopping, everything.

My mother did everything for us, whatever we needed. I should have anticipated this as the MAGAs were the same with my bil mother.

We were at a wedding recently and I couldn’t even look at them. What a disappointment they are. They suck up every hate filled lie that comes out of Trumps mouth.

For several years, the democrats put illegal aliens ahead of citizens.

Closed schools and after school activities to house illegal immigrants.

Pumped up funds to hotels at tax payer expense to house them (in massive quantities).

Insisted on govt employees and contractors getting covid shots to keep their jobs while allowing those crossing the border we not required to have them. The key word was immigrants were "vaccine eligible".

Two different standards. One for immigrants and one for second class citizens.

What a disappointment democrats are. Now they're feeling the sting of it. Sorry, not sorry.

You don't get on a domestic flight without showing ID. But shuttling illegal immigrants on flights between cities within the U.S.... no valid ID required.

Do you see the double standards?

You're all wierdos if you're cutting off family due to politics.

What Vance expressed to the friendly Claremont audience was a dramatically reduced vision of American citizenship. It’s one in which having ancestors who have lived here for generations entitles you to more; a vision of citizenship that’s long existed around the world, with a notable and aspirational exception in the United States.
...
Vance: "I think the people whose ancestors fought in the Civil War have a hell of a lot more claim over America than the people who say they don’t belong,” he concluded.
