[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cut off the children from DH parents.  They are MAGA Christians and live in a racist state.

When they send letters I just throw them in the trash.  [/quote]

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

NP.  Politics is a choice, and it's a two way street.  It can be argued that the parents don't want to see their grandchildren by clinging to their MAGA politics as well.

For my part, I disagree strongly with my own parents politics,  and my father-in-law is a dyed-in-the-wool MAGA.  I made it quite clear with them all several years ago that if we are to see each other and be a family, there will be no discussion of politics and so far it's been working.  Shortly after that, my father-in-law thought he could be Mr. Bossy Wise Guy and tried pushing his luck with some snarky yet stupid MAGA comments, and I immediately called the visit short, "we've got to be going, sorry" and left.  Since doing that, he's been a lot more reasonable and kept his asinine politics to himself when we come to visit.[/quote]

Agreed.  There are lines that can't be crossed.  Years ago, my inlaws made some racist comments in from of our kids.  DH immediately said if you say things like that you are not welcome in this house.  They left early in a huff that day, but things have been fine since.  They keep that sh*t to themselves.  We just focus on other things, because they love our kids.  But if they got pushy about it, we would probably limit contact more.[/quote]

Isn’t actually being racist worse than voting for Trump?[/quote]
