    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.

      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.
