[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, you are accusing your parents of intolerance when it is pretty clear you are capable of intolerance yourself. [/b]

I have plenty of political divides in my family. We still get along as we know there's more to life than politics. Is it annoying? Sure. But I always remind myself my beliefs are as annoying and frustrating to others as their beliefs are annoying and frustrating to me.

Walking away from them and cutting off contact is something that, according to the studies I've seen, is done far more by left leaning people than right leaning people (note how it's not your parents threatening to walk away from you). It bothers me this seems to be the case. My advice is don't. Put aside your political feelings, treat them as they seem to treat you, which is a family member with wonky views and just focus on other things. [/quote]

This is such a tired canard.  Intolerance of racism is not a personal failing or sign of hypocrisy.  It's a sign of having actual values.[/quote]

OP here. What am I supposed to say, "I see your point that you want your kids and grandkids to suffer financially to support the great grift/graft master. I respect your desire to watch me and my husband lose our house for Trump. And maybe you're correct, after all, and I should be willing to starve for him (I guess they are, too?)." Is that what I should say?

You’re so overdramatic. [b]You can find another job if you were to get fired. [/b]

You can also choose to either love your parents or don’t. Please stop perpetuating the lazy government employee stereotype. [/quote]

Spoken like someone who is completely clueless about the job market currently.[/quote]

If a fired government employee doesn’t have the skills or capability to get hired by another company, Id rather not pay them to use those same non-skills for government wages. What a waste of taxes and budget allocation. [/quote]

Would you say this in real life to a friend who was a fed/state employee? Do you even have any friends?[/quote]

Don't feed this obvious troll.[/quote]
