    I kicked my son out of the house when I found out he voted for Trump. That was 8 years and I haven’t spoken to him since. I heard from my daughter that he was homeless for a couple of years and is now working retail while couch surfing.

        There’s a difference between kids not coming to dinner and parents kicking their kids out of the house.

        because someone’s political opinion doesn’t (usually) define who they are or even affect the rest of your family in any way.

        this is like kicking your son out because they put pineapple on their pizza.

        I’m torn on that tbh.

        Hurt doesn’t heal hurt but on the other hand is rewarding disgusting behavior the way forward?

        The family members who supported turning half of us into subhuman citizens don’t deserve business as usual.

        History doesn’t care why germans voted in hitler in the 1930s, be it economic anxiety or hate for minorities, they’re just nazis.
