[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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

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. [/quote]

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!  [/quote]

+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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

You’re gross. The worst kind. If you were getting your green card now, or going to an immigration hearing you’d be handcuffed and detained.

I really find your attitude sickening. Worse than racist whites.[/quote]

I don't even believe that post. There were non white voters but they are not still supporting this. This is some MAGA trying to defend the party.[/quote]
