It might be because this guy voted for trump, and that would be justifiable, but it's more likely that it's because they have made MAGA their entire personality. Their twitter feed is just a non stop bullshit feed filled with retweets from the usual suspects, there's no self taken photos, no fun shitposts, nothing about hobbies or events they go to.... just transphobia, bullshit and even praise towards Matt Gaetz ffs. Who would want to spend a dinner with someone like that.

I have a family member that doesn't get this (thankfully just the one). It's not that he voted for Trump, it's all the shit he says. The casual "haha jk" racism when I introduced him to a Hispanic friend of mine. The fact that he will loudly talk about some things specifically to upset or annoy people. The fact that he thinks politics is a team sport and Trump's win is a personal victory for him that somehow means he "beat" the rest of us.

Do we have the same dad?

Edit: Actually we cant be related, because this describes both parents, my little brother, and all my aunts/uncles/cousins, and grandparents and you said "One person".

Although even if a person appears to be decent human being, if they voted for Trump that tells you everything you need to know about who they really are. The whole "when people tell you who they are, believe them" deal.

If I was told this by someone in private I would at least be sympathetic, but blasting your children in a public forum is like yelling in walmart. I just can’t view you as any semblance of a good person if you’re publically taking the “eternal victim” stance.

Like, the expected outcome for this rube is that an echo chamber shits on his kids. Gee I wonder why his kids don’t like him, must be mental illness.

The dad's comment strongly resembles a lot of posts that I've seen where people say that their kids won't talk to them anymore. They always leave out the most relevant information and act like some lesser thing is the actual problem. They may do it intentionally or unintentionally. It may be narcissism. It may be an inability to face reality. It may be that they always minimize their children.

But if you hear from the daughters, it will likely not simply be that he voted for Trump. We're missing out on entire lifetimes of context. There will be a lot of discussions leading up to that point. There will be a refusal to hear the children out. There will likely be a long history of emotional abuse.

And then, the last straw probably won't even be his vote for Trump, but some terrible behavior that he exhibited afterwards. These parents then go online and make up some story that lets them be the victim. You can't say for sure that this is the case, but nowhere in his post does he even try to acknowledge any specific things that his daughters said.

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.

Conservatives never learn anything. It’s part of why they’re conservative in the first place. They don’t grow, expand their minds, or learn from life. They hit a point where they harden and ruin relationships.

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.

Conservatives seem to have this weird belief that if they tried something and failed, then everything should be as if they never tried at all. Like, "attempted murder" just isn't a thing in their eyes.

Maybe it's just how their fragile egos handle not winning everything always.

Do they?!” - Sideshow Bob from the episode of The Simpsons where he literally becomes the Republican mayoral candidate after calling into a right wing talk radio show.

Doesn't sound sad to me 🤷‍♂️

[-] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 43 points 13 hours ago

You know, I'm not sure I believe that "PDX Conservative" keeps all of his political beliefs to himself and didn't argue with his kids about their political beliefs. Given his tweet with over 200K views, it seems to me like Mr. conserve_p may be understating his willingness to loudly declare his political opinions to anyone who will listen including to his liberal children that he is publicly calling rude and childish.

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 34 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 47 points 14 hours ago

Seems to me that the kids are almost certainly having thanksgiving, just not inviting their father.
