Idk who needs to hear this but:

Your children don’t owe you self assurance, if they chose to cut contact with you fully then that’s their right.

Slightly off topic:

When my parents divorced, I was bummed out that I had to attend two thanksgiving dinners. The second was not turkey. We charred hot dogs over an open fire (lived in the midwest at the time) and made smores. It was pretty great.

This had nothing to do with the election. It's just a nice memory.

I'm not skinny enough to understand this sentiment

"I let them"

Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could've not let them had he chosen so.

So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

Ah the classic:

"Your behaviour has harmed me, so I do not wish to see you anymore"

"No, wrong, it is YOUR behaviour in saying this that has harmed ME"

“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.

"I voted for the idea that women aren't people, now the women in my life don't like me."

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 98 points 4 days ago (14 children)

With lines like "[your political opinion] is a mental disorder", why is he surprised they aren't coming?

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.

[–] psivchaz@reddthat.com 123 points 5 days ago (7 children)

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.

"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.

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.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder" These people are very telling how they treat people who they think legitimately have mental illness.

I hope the three girls organise their own thanksgiving dinner and invite their mom.

Said the man who made his political opinion his whole twitter profile.

[–] islands@lemmy.cafe 113 points 5 days ago (2 children)

"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?

merely because they believe my one vote...

He thinks his vote doesn't contribute or something?

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 22 points 4 days ago

Conservatives think consequences are extremely unfair. Everything is an act of god to them.

“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?

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 120 points 5 days ago (17 children)

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.

Interesting that he phrased it as liberalism.

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.
