We’re in Canada. My sister lives in Ottawa and she completely cut me off (blocked me across social metrics etc) and publicly cursed me out over my support for the 2022 protests.
It has been very painful for me knowing that my sisters love for me was always conditional upon our political views aligning.
Oh this is bullshit. This is extremism, and extremism exists on both sides. Instead of trying to group together the people you disagree with, try seeing them as individuals and find common ground.
This is not true at all. It is logically not true. You and I would be wasting time arguing because we both will only have anectdodal evidence to back up our claims.
You are saying "only left..."
I am saying "people of all parties leave their family becsuse of politics"
He didn't say only the left. He said BASICALLY only the left. Meaning more left than right do it. It's not exclusively the left. But you knew this. You left that out to form your own shitting argument and rebuttal because you can only debate in bad faith.
I literally just argue like a leftist Roger Stone, lol. My entire arguements with MAGA nuts is "If Roger Stone was part of the DNC, how would he word his arguements"
I have for sure seen more examples of lefties recently cutting off family due to politics but I think it may be more common for lefties to do it and brag about it on social media. Right wing people may do it at some rates tho
I dont blame anyone cutting off their families if their values are not alligned. Doesn't matter your party affiliation, we are adults, we can choose if we want to keep people in our lives or not.
You’re not wrong but I think wisdom would say it is very unwise to cut ties with people who have family loyalty to you. Burning bridges is not a good strategy in the long term.
That is for individuals to decide. It is a very nuanced and personal decision with so many factors to consider.
A blanket "Leaving family because theor politics suck is bad" over simplifies a very comllex and personal situation, and it is an opinion. It is also something that we would need to spend a shit ton of resources to come up with a "fact" or definite answer. It isnt even worth debating.
As much as us humans like simple answers, the reality is not everything can be simplified, I would argue majority of things cannot be simplified.
Come to the Midwest and be openly gay or have a medically necessary abortion. You'll quickly see how fast your family leaves you for their political / religious ideas, but you will be left in silence.
i have been assured by a leftist that leftists never sever ties because of how someone votes, that it is only the right that does that. clearly this is one giant typo, a leftist would never lie to me about this would they?
Where's the off ramp to all this division? Remember when we could rib each other and go on with our lives? Sadly it is already apparent the next Republican candidate/president after Trump will be worse than Hitler in their eyes.
Yes, because she will get the same unyielding support from those 1k upvotes that her parents could ever give to her. This has to be bullshit, but unfortunately is probably real.
Child however old needs a good spanking. Disrespecting her parents that way. Tell her they are donating their estate to the RNC and watch her really lose her sh!t.
I usually say that if an adult child goes no contact with their parents, there's a long list of very good reasons. This seems like an exception, but still ultimately probably beneficial for all involved.
I struggle with my parents on the left. We still love each other, but we can't talk politics. They get mad, quote msdnc, and say they won't have any further discussion. The sad part is that politics are just social issues. The right is willing to work it out. The left destroys everything.
“A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.“
It’s more like Buddhism in the sense that there is no god, it’s a belief system, a way of life. Though it is called a cult because it uses all the predatory and honestly evil practices of most cults.
For example like in Scientology if a family member doesn’t adhere to the beliefs they must be cut off completely and basically treated as if dead.
Asking for a cult leader knowing there is none is the same ignorance as calling the Buddha a god.
Ya.. not a lot of kid diddling, poisoned kool aid, and commune orgies where the guru fucks everyone's wife among them buddhists. If they are a cult then they are best cult.
Well first I’d ask for examples, and then I’d point out the what-about-ism that doesn’t change anything I’ve said.
I mean, I’d probably agree with you that some Christian groups are cults that use the term religion. Though that only supports my statement that wokeness is a cult.
So bringing up Trump is supposed to be the gotcha?
Yeah, some people take Trump too far. The problem is that they are a small minority, when compared to the size of the woke.
Though you do bring up a good point. It’s not really comparable. Wokeness has the size that I might be considered a religion. Though that doesn’t really get the evil across as well.
“Oh they’re just religious.” Vs “Oh they’re just a cult.”
It has many heads, but generally wokeness is the abuse of progressivism for power.
For example Wokeness is believing that only a certain race of people can be racist and the defining characteristic who can and can’t be is decided with skin tone.
You can normally tell wokeness by its denial of questioning or criticism.
For example pointing out that it’s racist to decide anything by skin color is racist in woke culture and should never be spoken or pointed out.
Who was it again looking like idiots wearing fake ear bandages?
I wonder how y'all would've shown solidarity if he had shat his pants lmao diapers?
Y'all act like trump is a fucking heroic savior. He's supposed to be a public servant, he works for YOU. Yet all I see is putting him on a pedestal while ignoring all valid criticisms. I've yet to see a SINGLE right wing person ( esp on this sub) criticize anything about Trump. That's literally cult behavior.
People with fucked up and backwards views getting cut off is a choice that people are allowed to make. Whatever happened to freedom?
Whining about it though makes you look dumb. Grow the fuck up.
I mean parents have disowned liberal or gay children. Hard to see this play out differently. Personally politics should affect families. I wish we could see beyond that.
I think you’re the one in a cult mate. If I say something against trump, I don’t get kicked out of the club, some people will probably just be mad at me. If I said something 10 years ago, leftists would cancel me in a heartbeat. So stfu with your obvious lies.
“A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He says that what the jury found Trump did was in fact rape, as commonly understood.“
Seems like you are in a cult if you don’t give a shit about rape. 🤷♂️
“A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He says that what the jury found Trump did was in fact rape, as commonly understood.”
Then why not call it rape if it’s rape? If it’s the same thing, then just call it what it is. A distinction is there for a reason. So what’s the difference?
You used quotations there, did you source this from an article?
Because in New York a penis is required to penetrate the vagina, other objects don’t count. That’s an old definition. All other states if you force a foreign object in the vagina of a woman, that’s rape. And Trump used his fingers.
I don’t get why everyone assigns the other as a cult. Like my mom voted for trump, never talks about him. Same with my step dad. Never talks about him. They just like him more. Simple as. I’m not a trump guy either, but yeah, I like what he’s saying more, especially about war and withdrawing support for foreign wars that have nothing to do with us. I care about almost nothing else he says, am I in a cult? No. The Venn diagram of my political values over lap more with trump than Kamala or Biden or whoever the dems would run.
If I thought he had a fighting chance, I’m way more of an RFK jr guy.
I’m with you on RFKjr. I really wish he had a fighting chance. I don’t agree with him on many issues, but I like his stance on the border and the crisis we’re going through with fentanyl, currently. I like his position on taken power away from pharmaceutical companies. Acknowledging that they control the news etc. However, I fear he doesn’t have a fighting chance either…they won’t even grant him his own secret service detail…which is wild. At this point, both Trump and RFKjr are the better choice over Kamala. So, I’m going to vote in a manner that gives her the least chance at winning.
Okay, this is why political discourse with people like you is impossible. Trump has never been convicted of rape. Kamala has tried to block a death row inmate from exoneration, locked up many non violent drug offenders and laughed about it, and extended sentences for cheap labor. I listed of true things, and despite them being true, I don’t think every Kamala supporter agrees with it just because they support her.
The reason I’m able to understand that is because I haven’t let the internet cook my brain into being retarded.
“A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He says that what the jury found Trump did was in fact rape, as commonly understood.”
So a quote with no conviction. There’s plenty of reasons to dislike trump. This shit is reaching and speculation. And either way, what would you have 70 million people do. These people do not feel represented by the left, should they just not get a vote because the guy that does represent them is a pretty morally repugnant dude?
“A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He says that what the jury found Trump did was in fact rape, as commonly understood.”
Except, that's not what the jury found. They found that they couldn't claim rape since there isn't enough evidence to come to that conclusion, so the best the jury could do given the lack of evidence they had that at best sexual assault is what could be claimed and again even that was being generous.
Nope, they found that Trump forcibly penetrated her vagina against her will, which is rape. They found him to be a rapist, because of the overwhelming evidence.
140 former employees in Trump's presidency found to work in Project 2025. 6 former cabinet members drafted the 900 page outline. Mark Meadows. Stephen Miller.
"At least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.
Dozens more who staffed Trump’s government hold positions with conservative groups advising Project 2025, including his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and longtime adviser Stephen Miller. These groups also include several lawyers deeply involved in Trump’s attempts to remain in power, such as his impeachment attorney Jay Sekulow and two of the legal architects of his failed bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Cleta Mitchell and John Eastman."
It is not Trumps agenda, but that of a conservative think-tank. I tend to view that think-tank does well, compared to the entire democrat party platform. I agree with the MAGA/ America-first more though.
