Distraught about college son who’s happy about Trump

If he says the Trump indictments are dems weaponizing the justice system, pull up the actual 34 documents. Again, straight to the primary sources. It won’t happen overnight, but teaching him to use reliable sources to become informed is the most helpful thing you can do for him. Give him time. Keep having conversations. Good luck, OP.

Many people voted explictly against the democrat party agenda. You had better start facing up to that. I'm talking about the hate-America-first, endless uncontrolled immigration, woke, soft-on-crime, no common-sense agenda. Nothing overcomes that.

Did you hear it? Have you taken note?

Take a look at the Dem party website.

They list all of the groups that they support but males are not listed.

Perhaps get distraught about the Dem party messaging.

Too bad most current Democrats are control freak cultists: Shut-up and obey, or we don’t like you anymore.

Shame on you, op.

You can say the same about maga...say merry christmas or else!

Liar, yet again. President Trump has a Jewish daughter. Your lying is boring.

Not the message I am getting. democrats are for reproductive healthcare for women, healthcare costs, addressing climate change, common sense gun control. Poll after poll has shown that the majority of Americans are aligned with these issues.

Sadly most voted against their own self interests.

Too ashamed to tell people we know in real life. Heartsick that we raised a child who is happy about Trump being elected. He says a big reason is campus DEI and wokeness, which he feels has gone too far. Anyone else in this situation? How are you handling it? Any advice?

I also have family who voted for Trump but we never discuss politics or religion. I love them and they love me and love is stronger than loathing of trump and MAGAS!

Still lamenting? Wow. Make it less pleasant for him to be home. Hopefully, he’s got 3 1/2 more semesters left.

NP. Democrats are also for the entire transgender agenda that no one sane wants. They lied about the border crisis until they couldn't get away with their lies any longer and rolled back the Trump initiatives keeping the crisis in check. They lied about the problem of inflation and then expected credit for stemming the problem they claimed didn't didn't exist. They overreacted to the pandemic and spearheaded school closures that set back a generation of the most vulnerable students. They propped up a cognitively impaired president and colluded with the media to lie about his faculties. I could go on.

Democrats seem to be really mad that voters saw both the good and the bad that Democrats stand for and decided the overall package was inferior. Too bad you're judged not just by what you want voters to see, but by everything you're doing.

Your hero Elon wants to import H1-B workers over Americans, talking about hate-America-first. Did you hear it? Have you taken note?

So sad for these white men. They are so used to have an advantage for centuries that they don’t know how to deal when other peoples are giving similar opportunities.

The majority of the country is aligned with those issues. Per many polls that have been conducted.

Many Republicans favor these thing too. The issue is relative importance - more people are more concerned about other policy areas, hence the election's outcome. In addition, some Democratic focus areas were so affirmatively offputting for many voters that those issues more than outweighed policy areas where there may have been more sympathy - all the woke social, racial, and sexual values which were pushed to the forefront. Those were lunatic fringe positions to many, even if other D Party positions were more attractive.
