[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe anyone allows politics to keep them apart from family. Truly. And I feel reasonably strongly about my politics. But love for my family and my desire for my children to grow up near grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins is far stronger than anything else. Teach your kids that people have different values and different opinions, and that we don't slice out of our lives people who have different perspectives.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

Oh well if it hasn't happened to your kids it couldn't possibly be different for anyone else.

You are unbelievably self-absorbed and also a jerk if you think your experience invalidates someone else's.

I think you’ve got this backwards. I readily acknowledged that others may have different experiences (see “ymmv” in my post).

It’s actually others in this thread who are invalidating my family’s experiences.

But nice of you to drop a “SDSU” to prove your tolerance of other people’s experiences. Oops.[/quote]
