To go LC with PILs because FIL voted for Trump?

Was Emmanuel Goldstein a serial sexual abuser, out of interest? Only, there's scapegoating, and then there's actual misogynistic criminality. So, despite your ambiguous post, I'm guessing you're not claiming the argument that Trump is the illegitimate object of hate, but rather the perspective that argues that Trump himself plays the role of the authoritarian leader (Big Brother) by creating his own "Goldsteins"—using the term "enemies of the people" to describe the press, political opponents, or specific individuals to deflect accountability and unite his base.

Right?

Sooo they’re your husbands parents, they’ve given you money, helped with your kids but you don’t like their politics and you judge them as boomers? The world is full of people who hold different views to yours. That’s life. However it’s not full of people who will love your children wholeheartedly. You don’t have to agree with them but surely you can navigate a sensible path through?

I can’t stand this bizarre tribalism that so many seem to subscribe to - e.g ‘if you voted Trump, you’re a bigot’ or closer to home, ‘if you voted Brexit, you’re a racist’. Or any of those combinations.

For most people, their voting is less black and white and more shades of grey. I vote the way I do not because I believe in everything the party stands for but because they are the lesser of two evils. And just because you vote differently to me, doesn’t give you moral superiority.

I’m really surprised that you’d consider separating your children from loving, generous grandparents (and cause all that heartache) over a tick on a ballot sheet and your conclusion that because they voted a certain way, they’re suddenly terrible people.

I don’t think it’s ’dangerous’ to expose children to different political views at all. In fact I think it’s really important they are, so they learn to listen to a breadth of political opinion, discuss them and form their own opinions. Despite many of 16yr old DS’s school mates liking Reform/Farage, he’s been perfectly capable of deciding for himself, that whilst there are a couple of things he might agree with, Reform would be a disaster for the UK. He just rolls his eyes when his mates disagree. What’s actually dangerous is bringing kids up in a political vacuum, where they are taught there is only one ‘correct’ view in our family and you’ll be ostracised for daring to think differently.

Yes but every time someone expresses an opinion that doesn’t fit the lefty agenda then they must be a trump supporter.

So you’re also okay with people hating their family members for marrying black people?

There’s also a much better argument that the ‘woke Democrats’ are Goldstein.

I'm not a boomer, but couldn't agree more. Horrible comment from OP.
YABVVU OP to split a family based on politics.
Your sort of attitude is what leads to fractured societies.What is DH's opinion on your plans?
Have you considered you might have more similarities with Trump than you realise? That's what is coming across.

I agree.

But it's a thread about people who voted for Trump?

Oh dear I do long for the days when people kept it private information as to who they voted for. If you can't get along with someone who has different views from you then yes, you are being unreasonable. You sound superior and condescending. Perhaps you could learn something from previous generations.

Because they willingly and knowingly voted for a racist President.

They also made a derogatory remark about people of colour who married into the family.

Ah, ok. That is a worry then.

Kamala as VP sent a congratulatory card to a male in womanface to mark his one year of cosplaying as a woman. Which was (and still is) a kick in the teeth to all women. Imagine her reaction if someone sent Rachel Dolezal or some other person in blackface a card to celebrate them spending one year in blackface. I don't think she would be 'best pleased'. To say the least. People, including leftwing Democrat-voting lesbians saw that. And took note.

And then, voted accordingly.

As I said, Trump being President is solely the fault, blame and on the hands of the Democratic party. They are solely 100% to blame for Trump being President. No one else.

You can disagree with peoples voting choices (and really that’s between them and the ballot box, none of your business) but to cut contact with them because of it is a bit silly.

FWIW I loathe Trump but just think people who vote for him are a but dense, I wouldn’t feel the need for no contact…

Well OP was fine with the racism, just not voting Trump so I’m surprised given that OP is so morally pure it took this to tip her over the edge.

My American relatives have posted "I Stand With ICE" and "ICE ICE Baby" memes on facebook but I would dream of breaking ties with them over it. They are good, decent people who have differing political views than I do.

I think it says something about how intolerance is becoming really normalised. Every election my family all seem to vote for different parties, some voted for brexit, others are were firm remainers, it has never ever been something any one of us would cut the others off for. You can disagree with someone on a lot of stuff and know they are a well intentioned human being nonetheless.

As pp pointed out, you may hold political beliefs they find beyond the pale but they were tolerant enough to help you house yourself and they help you with their children. Maybe their friends should have counselled them to not give you a penny or have anything to do with your children because of your beliefs? Would that have seemed unreasonable to you?

Oh God every time someone expresses an opinion that doesn’t match their own they try to shut it down by claiming “Oh they must be a Trump supporter”.

I'm a POC and I don't see how they're racist.

Probably none of your business who they voted for.

and teaches your girl she matters less for a whole heap of reasons.

And you don't think the Democrats teach girls, and women, that when they advocate for the removal of womens hard won sex-based spaces and rights? There is a reason Trump played the 'Kamala is for They/Them' ad 10 times more than his other ads in swing states. Even the Democrats' own internal polling shows Gender Ideology was the third reason for Democrat voters turning against them. When the current Dems double down in the Senate and vote to allow men to take womens sports scholarships and medals, what message do you think that sends to young girls? It tells girls we aren't worth shit. That men's 'feelz' come first, and women and girls safety in sports and fair sport comes last.

So don't act like the Democrats are womens friends.
