Why do kids refuse to spend Christmas with their conservative family members?

Apparently this is a thing

Dennis Prager inclusively said that many people call to his show in tears upset that they are no longer welcome in their kids homes during the holidays.

if they supported trump, i don’t blame them. he is a nazi kkk fascist, pig, supporting him makes them the same. so yeah their kids disown you. As they should

[OddBeMe]

Because conservatives feel they can speak their minds yet liberals have to shut the fck up.
Guess that’s the downside of liberals having logic.

[Philyouup]

i suppose.

[Philyouup]

tanks by the way

Sucks to suck i guess. Is it not more respectful to be apart if there will only be resentment?

I remember the last day i gave a fuck about my dad. "If you kill yourself i want you to know how disappointed i am in you." On a half way decent day he said that and that made the day even better.

That was years before i got into left leaning politics. I was very familiar with right wing blonde pundits for a decade at this point. I remember how i got radicalized. It was the charlesville riots. Trump "on both sides on both sides.

I'm guessing my story is a dime a dozen and only getting worse.

For all those conservative parents i hope they watch this.

Wow... just wow! That is the messed up divided emotional states of Americaca. People can't take the stress of differences.

A lot of these "right wingers" turned their kids over to the school systems that indocrinated them. Not to mention the media, tv they parked the kids in front of... programmed by the same hollywood minds.

So the solution to their sadness is to take responsibility for their decisions...

really sad though. As well, their own viewpoints can be too extreme as article notes.

All you have to do to ruin any atmosphere is to mention the words Trump or Global Climate Change.

Everything was fine till covid kept everyone apart in 2020. Then they lifted the isolation in 2021 but covid was still going around. By that time we had gotten used to being isolated that Christmas 2020 and 2021 - we got used to it. Now it’s hard to get back together after such a long time of being used to isolation. My family was same way - we exchanged gifts at the door in 2020-2021. 2022 - we finally got together for Christmas and it was Great! Enjoyed every second of it. 🙂👍❤️

Because the zeitgeist says that just holding certain political beliefs makes people socially "unclean", and that morality springs from ideas, rather than actions. This isn't the first time such an idea has taken hold- witness the anti-Communist hysteria of the McCarthy era- but clearly, the Boomers and Gen Xers had some resistance to the madness that their parents and children lack.

I'm not welcome at family gatherings because I refuse to accept voluntary euthanasia to get a new world order assport so I can listen to a bunch of self-righteous blowhards congratulate themselves on their progressive credentials. If they can't be inclusive enough to tolerate a political minority at their events then they know what they can do with themselves. I'd rather not have to deal with their bs.

Maybe SJWs has indoctrinated them to think conservatives are bad, unlike people who share political leanings with the founders of the KKK and votes for the guy who claimed you ain't black if you don't know who to vote for between him or Trump.

What I've noticed about Americans is that very few seem to stay living in the town, city or state they were born in.

[Philyouup]

[Philyouup]

yeah. Had thought of
moving Dublin , northside naturally. then the wife had different ideas.

[Philyouup]

would you leave the auld isle? i think there is a lot of opportunity to earn a good living without the drama of leaving and suffering the homesickness. And you would have all those cunts we call trumpers. not at all, lmao! And no Lyons gold either.

[Opinion Owner]

@Philyouup I moved to the states when my husband's job required him to move back. I get homesick too, sometimes I'm such a bitch and that's why.

[Philyouup]

home sickness if the fucking worst. my heart broke for my wife , it surly did

[Snakeyes7]

Because those parents have been deemed to be wrong thinkers.
