I’ve told my parents that until they stop supporting anyone that is helping this enforcement, they can’t talk to the grandkids.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If they're that stupid and hateful, probably shouldn't let them anyway
I don’t support their actions but propaganda is a hell of a drug.
Not wrong, my biological dad, despite being Canadian, supports maga stuff, I pity him more than I hate him. I think part of the maga mindset is digging your heels in despite proof, it makes it extra hard for them to come to reason
"Don't bother me with facts, my mind is made up."
I am fairly convinced that older family member babysitting is part of what led to the right leaning Gen Z.
Alt-right pipeline is full of immature gamers who speak authoritatively. It's not the grandparents, it's twitch and kick
Talking to your kids about this stuff often and at an early age is a must for parents.
That's downright responsible. You wouldn't want them to pick up hateful beliefs.
It can directly affect their family members. So I told them that they don’t get the benefits of their family and also get to support people that hurt those members.
Obama and Biden deported way more people without brutal violence and death being shown on social media for all to see.
I keep hammering this point when people try to praise Trump's asinine immigration crackdown.
Donnie Dickhead makes everything worse, not better.
What midterms?
A Republican strength in attracting the votes of racist, xenophobic Americans who then wonder why there aren't enough workers.
Imperfect but noticeably sad trombone noises
Just keep hammering on that point: when they talk about "controlling immigration," they mean jackbooted goons murdering people in the streets and kidnapping kids.
Terka Durrrr!!
