Interesting that he phrased it as liberalism.
With lines like “[your political opinion] is a mental disorder”, why is he surprised they aren’t coming?
“I voted for the idea that women aren’t people, now the women in my life don’t like me.”
“Liberalism is a mental disorder” These people are very telling how they treat people who they think legitimately have mental illness.
Conservatives 🤝 Liberals
“The political positions I dislike are caused by mental illness”Socialists: "Hey guys maybe we could try not denigrating mental disorders? Maybe we could try building a left wing that welcomes and accepts the neurodivergent and marginalised?
Liberals: “Fuck you, we’ll never accept psychopaths like Trump!”
Socialists: “I never agreed with you that Trump is a psychopath. We don’t have to accept Trump in order to treat ASPD folks with dignity!”
Liberals: “You’re disgusting, enabling abusers like that. If we treat psychopaths with basic dignity, they’ll only use it to abuse us!”
Yeah, that definitely sounds like a real conversation.
Said the man who made his political opinion his whole twitter profile.
This is so sad.
Those three women deserve a better dad.

Their inversion of introspection is amazing.

“Allowed”.
Think I found the “nice guy” underlying reasons.
“I let them vote how they wish”
Does he think not committing voter intimidation is some noteworthy deed?
There’s clearly more to this story. The simple fact that his username is “Conservative” indicates that he is one of those people that make their political ideology a major part of their identity.
This man is probably an insufferable ass.
Or he’s making it up.
I made my mother cry because she voted for Trump and I expressed my disapproval. She called my sister, who also voted for Harris, and my sister made her cry a second time.
We’re all having dinner tomorrow and we won’t bring up politics.
It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics.
I think my mom made a stupid decision. Oh well. She thinks I made a stupid decision.
If your politics define you so much that you abandon your people or you’re not disciplined enough to keep your mouth shut at family events where you’ll convince no one, that’s on you.
They bring it up and end up having a bad day, that’s on them. We simply agree to avoid politics and religion. It’s not that hard.
Edit: We’re doomed. We really are.

Yes. It is fucking stupid.
But you know what’s worse? Supporting a political party over your daughters, who are facing the very real possibility they will have to die simply because of a miscarriage, or no longer having the right to vote. That they will be forced to carry the baby of their rapist. that their daughters may no be entitled to an education- even the shitty ones now provided- the same way they were.
Facing those threats… because you voted for that political party.
They’re not staying away, or “turning their back” on family because of politics. They’re doing so because his politics objectively suck and absolutely will bring harm to them and millions like them. (that is. women. Not to mention racial minorities, immigrants, anyone whose different from the white, cisgendered, conservative male arch type.)
It’s so interesting to see the complete disconnection on here with everyone else’s life.

will, will bring harm. Not talking about past harm, not even mentioning current harm. Just FUTURE harm. All of the middle class people on here are just fucking hilarious with their world views. If you’re wondering why most of the population sits out of voting, well you’re never going to see it. Cue the average ivory tower response,
It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics.
Right? Which is why the person in the original post shouldn’t have voted for the guy that wants to take away the rights of his daughters. By voting for Trump, he chose politics over family, not his daughters.

You know what we call Germans who disagreed with Hitler on some issues and yet still supported him?
Nazis.
Nobody cares, or will ever remember anything other than that.
Unfortunately, my continued existence is labeled as “politics” so no, someone who voted against my rights to exist is not my family anymore.
The genders: male and political. The colours: white and political. The sexualities: straight and political.
Yet somehow the most common politician is straight white male.
One of my family members voted against my wife’s freedoms, he’s not family us anymore.
It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics
It’s really not. Politics determine your opinions and intentions regarding human rights and its violations. If my dad votes for Robodolf Mechahitler, he’s not my dad anymore. Someone voting for Trump would likely betray their own daughter when Gilead rises. If they wouldn’t, their vote is a contradiction to their character. I wouldn’t take something like this lightly.
It’s absolutely not stupid to turn your back on family because of politics.
It’s not a sports team, it’s conscious decisions that affect the law and how we are governed.
Yes it is that hard. If you consider the real effects that politics has on people’s lives, the direct negative consequences of laws and policies that make their lives worse, and then you ask us to ignore those and stop talking about them, maybe we’ll be able to do it if we are not the direct victims. But as soon as you are the direct victim, of course you’re going to speak out on it.
Here’s a very simple example. One of my relatives uses a wheelchair or a walker, and they have a vehicle with handicap tags that they use to get around. The problem is, one problem is, that many polling places don’t have the legally required handicap parking available. So my relative has extreme difficulty voting. That’s a political problem, a political issue, that disenfranchises my relative. Should they be able to discuss it with the family? I sure hope so. But is it politically charged? Of course it is.
What you’re asking, what you’re expecting, is that every single victim has to shut the f****** about the bad s*** they’re dealing with, just because it’s connected to the government.
And look, I picked one of the mildest examples you could possibly think of. After all, my relative might be able to vote absentee, depending on the rules in their state. But there are so many more examples that are absolutely tragic, that involve lives being totally ruined. And you think those should be off limits.
God damn. I find centrists to be spineless pussies of the highest order.
Drag wishes there were fewer people in the world willing to set aside politics for family. People like that are destroying the world.
Lol he said his kids have a mental disorder and expects them to keep talking to him.
For wanting to protect their bodily autonomy. He calls it a disease.
“Now I have been informed that all three children are boycotting thanksgiving”.
Hmm, maybe it has something to do with shit talking them on twitter. Maybe, and this is just a guess, the family gatherings are not politics free zones but full of conspiracies and drama and more shit talking. Just a guess. But none of this is his fault, it’s those damn brainwashed libruls who are spoiling his fun. Now how is he going to do his trump victory lap if his daughters stay away?
Pretty sure they’re not boycotting thanksgiving and just boycotting him. They’ll probably have the best thanksgiving together in years.
Chuds don’t deserve love or respect from anybody.
“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.
“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 assaulting women and wanting to bang his daughter.
Wrong
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
The block user button: “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power”
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
Thanks
Right
Yeah, yeah you are.
What?
Chicken butt.
