The atmosphere is so heated, and the statements are getting more and more extreme. Let's just assume Harris wins the election. After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

My dad is on his death bed, I haven't spoken to him in years, because he's full on MAGA. It breaks my heart that I lost my dad to that cult and that I'll lose him forever soon, but I will never forgive him for supporting the scum that is proud he stole womens rights.

So to answer your question, being sad and waiting for tomorrow.

To those giving you shit about cutting horrible people out of your life and saying you need to go visit...

Bullshit. Fuck that noise. I have family that I've cut out as well (although, luckily, not my parents). I'm 100% open to them rejoining my life, but their hatred for others is stronger than their love for me, and I won't allow them back until that changes. Spoiler alert: it probably never will, because there's no love like Christian "love".

"Agree to disagree" is reserved for things like "I don't like coffee." Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. If I unfriend you during this, it IS personal. We do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in morality.

Damn. I'm sorry :(

This is the correct energy. You already lost him. What's dying now is some rabies-zombie.

Sorry you had to lose him in such a horrible way. I know exactly what that's like to go through.

My dad is also MAGA but thankfully not very outspoken about it or I couldn't stand to be around him. I'm still quite pissed at Trump and his cult following for putting the thought into my head that his death could be a net benefit to society.

Shit, I’ve been upset for losing a friend, your right, losing a parent is terrible, sorry to hear.
