Your dinner, their choice
“My kids don’t want to hang out with me after I dismissed their opinions as a mental disorder and the party I voted for tries to control their bodies! Why must I suffer? I didn’t do anything to them directly! These kids today are so unfaaaair!”
What a jackass.
I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.
Shocking his three daughters don’t support a felon who publicly brags about sexually abusing women and wanting to bang his daughter.
Wrong
I imagine you having a daily task of opening Lemmy, looking at your username, cracking your knuckles and then just going ham on being as shitty of a person as possible.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a troll or not, it’s equally as bad either way.
Right
You’re so cringe I already have you tagged from another comment you made lmao
Thanks for helping me find out about user tags, this is revolutionary
I wish they were a Lemmy backend thing and not a frontend/per-app thing. I use more than one device (my desktop and my phone) to browse Lemmy, so functions that are local to only one frontend or app instance are useless to me.
Oh, so it’s only on my app? That’s much worse than I thought
Yeah I had to start doing it recently but I tend to save it for people with the worst takes
The block user button: “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power”
No way. I’d miss out on way too much free entertainment. Lemmy is full of dilusional takes.
Thanks
What?
Chicken butt.
Snickers Got them.
Yeah, yeah you are.

As much as I want to boycott my parents thanksgiving dinner, my dad is almost 80 and I only got so many days left to even hang out with him. Plus my mom is cool so I got that going for me.
My dad is almost 80 and a Trump supporter. Fuck that guy. Let him die lonely.
And I respect your choice. I’ve just never had that bad relationship with my dad. He’s a fucking idiot that doesn’t understand what the hell he even voted for, but he’s not a terrible person. Not a good person, but not a terrible person. My dad’s ignorant, not a fascist. Which I’m sure a lot of people that voted for him fall under that category. Even if it is unfortunate.
But I fully support your choice. If your dad is anything like the dude in this post he’s probably not a good person.
Noooo if you don’t disown him, you’re letting Trump win! You have to cut every loved one who voted Trump out of your life RIGHT NOW!..
…at least if you want to follow the advice that was repeatedly thrown my way when I expressed a similar sentiment about not abandoning my elderly father
People are going non contact with people who are toxic, not just because of how they voted. Dude in the screenshot clearly has more going on than just how he voted that drove his daughters to go no contact. You can read his reaction and recognize that
Yes, I’m aware. I’m referring to OC’s comment and the response I got when I said something similar (that I was struggling to talk to my dad after the election but I didn’t want to disown him over it). The same hyperbole I’ve seen dozens of times here.
It’s the political version of the awful relationship advice from reddit.
Instructions unclear, deleted the gym
“My girlfriend cried the other day and I don’t know if I did something wrong or she’s upset about something else”
BREAK UP WITH HER, HIRE FACEBOOK, DELETE THE GYM, AND HIT A LAWYER
I’m honestly so much happier to not have those people in my life. You do you, centrist/troll man, but a lot of us can see the mental health benefits and are happy to burn the bridges.
Idk who needs to hear this but:
Your children don’t owe you self assurance, if they chose to cut contact with you fully then that’s their right.
womp womp
Ah the classic:
“Your behaviour has harmed me, so I do not wish to see you anymore”
“No, wrong, it is YOUR behaviour in saying this that has harmed ME”
Sad that elections tear families apart. And that goes for all sides making discussions like this. The moment you stop dialogue you stop the change you want to make. Both pathetic and sad, I hope for a future of coexistance in American families.
The man screenshotted doesn’t seem to want to. He’s pathetic and sad, I agree.
I can imagine this happens throughout the USA. All I see are souls to be winned
My father voted trump in 2016, and again in 2020. I have had a “dialogue” going with him about it since 2016. In 2020 my mother moved out. He said that was the worst day of his life. I furthered the dialogue and he put his foot down, not wanting any more political discussions. The day after Election Day he was celebrating the win while listening to the Woodie Guthrie protest music I got him for his birthday. I tried to explain the irony to him, and that was the last time I have spoken to him.
We’ve had various “dialog” for decades and see where it let us. Down the shitter. If you voted for Trump, you actively voted for a protofascist clown that is about to fuck over not just the US but also the rest of the world - and you think more dialog is going to help, let alone save us? Would you say the same if the example was about people voting for the NSDAP? The only thing you can tell those fascist enablers is to go fuck themselves.
At this point cutting toxic people out of your life is going to be important to try and keep your mental health up.
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.
It’s not necessarily about his vote, it’s about what it presents. His enthusiasm shows not only is he okay with Trump and his associated behaviour, he’s actively advocating for it.
And considering how Trump treats women, anyone who can look their own daughters in the eye and advocate for that POS doesn’t deserve them in his life.
Hi daughters are victims of powerful propaganda. It’s sad but they’ll get over it eventually.
The right denying women’s bodily autonomy is propaganda?
Username definitely checks out…
Right? The real news are on Twitter, you should go back there with your people.
Yeah, c’mon everyone. What’s a little regression in women’s rights once in a while? It’s being blown way outta proportion.
The screen sings its song of doom for you. But not for your benefit. Balance that against a lifetime of parental love.
Why is the screen heavier? High technology of course.
Youre the ones who believe everything on Facebook, Fox, and Newsmax
If you read their other posts, they’re against huge corporations and for a planned economy, so they agree with leftists and just don’t know it.
“Lets give everyone medicare and break up Google and subsidize manufacturing” is hardly a planned economy. The most extreme dont wanna go anywhere past the Nordics, and we’re the richest country in the world- we could easily afford it. The only place youll meet legit planned-economy advocates, because not even all Socialists fit that descriptor, is lemmy.ml and similar forums
“I openly voted against the interests of my own children and also openly claim they have a mental disorder for their views.”
Get fucked.
These people really are clueless. No appreciation at all for how their actions affect others. They get surprised when people stop putting themselves in harms way by simply not being around them.
Want your family back? Realize that what you think is some free speech populist revolution is just an excuse for a lot of people to be assholes and expect no consequences.
to be fair, democrats think voting for trump is a mental illness too.
not on anyone’s side here, just pointing out the hypocrisy
Hypocrisy is clutching your pearls and virtue signalling “Christian conservative values” while worshipping a “grab-em-by-the-pussy” false-profit who is the closest thing to the antichrist in living memory.
So yeah, only one of those groups has a literal mental illness, and they are also the hypocrites.
It’s not that Trumpism is a mental illness, more like you need to have a mental illness to be a Trump supporter.
this is no different than the right calling the left mentally ill.
both of you think you’re right, and I think the real answer is nobody is right.
“As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.”
The dictators claims that all of their political opponents are terrorists is not analogous or equally valid to the terrorized political opponents calling the dictator a terrorist. If you can’t comprehend how those two groups are different — the logical separation between the conman who lies about everything and terrorizes his opponents, and every group he chooses to terrorize — then you either have the mental illness, or are most at risk to the propaganda (and future mental illness).
Pro tip! Only a fascist opposes ANTI-FAscism.
Please re-read the last line I wrote.
Well, golly gee, he “let” his independent, grown-ass adult offspring vote for the candidate of their own choosing. I can’t imagine why they’d spurn him after such selfless and generous act.
The vice president elect said people with kids should get more votes. The next step in that slippery slope is to have control of your grown-ass kid’s votes until they know how to “vote properly”.
It isn’t because he voted a certain way. It’s because the person he supports and his followers make his daughters less safe. The person he supports is a rapist and by supporting him you tacitly condone rape. And the more people look the other way the more accepted it becomes. Your daughter’s aren’t in danger because of some migrants, your daughter’s are in danger because weirdo men want to control their bodies to the point that they’ll let your daughter’s die to save a fetus. Whether or not you, the father, personally believe these things, you are empowering those that do. You are making the world a more scary and less safe place for your daughters.
Yeah, no wonder they don’t want to associate with you. I wouldn’t either
Yeah I haven’t told my parents I voted for Trump. Don’t plan to either, at least not soon.
Even when I was still a democrat I didn’t like talking politics with them because it was all so mean-spirited. They didn’t talk about policies or futures or problems they just talked about Republicans.
So I just don’t talk politics with them and as I started to shift I just got more and more silent. I don’t really care how they vote. I don’t really care about their politics. They’ve my parents. I’d never cut them off for opposing me politically.
But I’m worried they might. Or I just don’t know what would happen. So I don’t bring it up. They talk their shit over dinner and I smile and nod and don’t add anything, because I don’t get to see them very often, and I love them.
