My dad is hardcore conservative, identifies as independent. My mom was Democratic, she's now hardcore Republican to reflect the political views of her 4th husband.

I want so badly to just not see any family for Thanksgiving because their political views are so dramatically opposed to mine, but that just doesn't feel right in my heart.

Everyone I love supports things I'm ethically and morally against, but shit dude, my circle of people is already so small. I want to have family and friends in my life, but I also want to surround myself with people who share my values. Unfortunately I have to choose one over the other, and that feels dirty.

Going no contact or limited contact is a personal decision everyone has to decide for themselves. I'm lucky enough to have boomer parents who aren't hateful/gullible conservatives.

Their inversion of introspection is amazing.

Maybe the part about telling children they have a mental disorder is why they’re upset…

God I kind of wish my parents would vote for Trump so I could avoid Thanksgiving and take the days off to get other shit done.

Isn't that Grant from ACW? Not american, but how does that work with a union general and MAGA?

They're convinced the party flip never happened and their race based white Christian nationalist bullshit is "patriotic".

If liberalism is a mental disorder than neoliberalism is a new mental disorder that is so bizarre it doesn't even have a definition yet.
