Also if someone says they want to kill you, and I hand them a loaded gun to do it, that shouldn't get in the way of us enjoying a nice Thanksgiving meal together.

"You shouldn't own family members of politics" - group that disowns family members because they're gay, trans, atheist, liberal, dating outside their race, etc.
Fix your hearts or die.
When I sin I sin real good.
Yeah, I wouldnt disown any family over political differences

I think its fair to distance yourself from family who gives you a gun and tells you to shoot them though. Dangerous and unhealthy, although I can still see why you would want them to get therapy. Depends how close they are

What if your daughter is forced to carry her rapist's baby because of the policies of the guy you voted for? Still think she shouldn't disown you?

So many of them think being disowned is a punishment when in fact it's just their family members protecting their own personal wellbeing and mental health

It's because they see their family members as property there to make them look good, and having family members disown them hurts their ego.

When the political difference is that they think minorities should be killed and I think minorities shouldn't be killed, that is definitely worth disowning them over.
That doesn't sound like a political difference. I've certainly never heard any politican say they want minorities to be killed. If your family is saying they want minorities to be killed then you just have a fucked up family.

I've disowned family members for plenty of reasons. I can for sure disown even more over politics if I want.

I've heard the way they talk about transkids. If some don't want them outright killed then the rhetoric doesn't seem to support it.

Theyre not being disowned over their politics. Theyre being disowned over their moral failings.

My extended family, from a small, shit hole town, who's only claim to fame is a Turbo-Catholic religious cult, has begun re-posting the annual "war on Christmas" disinformation on Boomerbook. I'm trying my best to get them to block me.
Good thing thats not why I disowned most of mine then.
Warning: This post contains Trumbles known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Depends on the politics and how informed and how extreme they are.

Maybe, but it might be how you view border control or if troops should be in another country or not. A blanket politics is a no, but very super specific ones are a maybe. Just depends what it is and who the family is too

Do you understand what these political "differences" are in this current hellscape?
It could be a lot of things. Its why a generic difference of opinion doesnt fit

like my mom has weird conspiracy ideas about politics, but I dont care, I barely see her and tune out anyway. If she specifically starts saying she wants to see asians get murdered (my wife is Asian), then I wouldnt let her see my family anymore

Well, if you support Trump or the GOP, you support women and minorities getting persecuted or killed. Which means I am cutting you out of my life 100%
Thats okay, its ultimately your choice

im outside the US though and yeah, im never going to cut anyone out just cos they vote for a party that wants nuclear or wants to ban vapes or whatever

but yeah, direct threats from family to my own family or even other close family I have. I cant see myself keeping them around, thats not just voting, thats more dangerous

I don't know where you're from, but our politics aren't just about who wants to ban vapes.

So you understand why people would cut someone off over politics.

Because this sort of thing is EXACTLY why LGBTQIA+ people cut off their families.

You can't choose your family. You can choose your politics.
Science and Algorithms
Saying it's "over politics" always seems intentionally misleading to me. Because sure, I'm not going to stop talking to family members because we have different ideas of what an ideal tax rate looks like, but those aren't the politics we're talking about. If your politics are "denaturalize and deport everyone I don't like in the most brutal way possible, without any consideration for the repercussions" then yes, you can absolutely fuck off, I don't want to talk to you.
Thus I became a madman.

Nobody is doing that. You know nobody is doing that. You know exactly the sort of shit people are talking about when they say they are cutting people out, and to pretend otherwise is silly.

Oh it is 1000% on purpose to make it seem like it's the other person being unreasonable because people know the GOP are abhorrent pieces of shit with horrible views, but THEY don't have those views so it's different and THEY aren't a bad person.

No don't you see that while being personally a misanthropic bigoted moron can be worthy of consequences, being politically a misanthropic bigoted moron is a totally different thing that's above all criticism.

As already mentioned, trying to reduce it to "over political differences" is either being idiotic or intentionally obtuse. If someone wants lower taxes in general or is somewhat OK with paying taxes because it supports things in society, that's not what's happening.

We're talking about people who are legitimately supporting federal and state governments causing people harm in numerous ways. Trying to hand wave that as though it isn't a big deal is wild.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-rhetoric-enemy-anti-immigrant/


In a December 2023 speech, also in New Hampshire,
Trump said that undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country."

On immigration, Sunday's comments were also just the latest example of how Trump's rhetoric has grown increasingly pointed, as he makes the issue his closing pitch of the 2024 campaign.

At a rally in Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, which has become a focal point of the former president's pitch on border security, Trump cited the criticism he received for calling immigrants "rapists" in the last election, among a number of derogatory comments he's made about people seeking to enter the U.S ., while suggesting that the new landscape in the country requires a whole new vocabulary.


"Those statements are peanuts compared to what's happening to our country," Trump said.
"These are the worst criminals in the world These people are the most violent people on Earth."

The former president said he would " rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered," pledging to put "vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail or kick them out of our country."

" You can't live with these people," Trump said. "These are stone-cold killers. You could be walking down the street with your husband, you'll both be dead."

Trump said he hoped Colorado would vote in protest for " what they have done to the fabric of your culture."

In recent rallies, Trump has called migrants "animals," and said that they are coming to America from "dungeons of the Third World," to "prey upon innocent American citizens."

On Friday, Trump also pledged to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which has been used during war times to round up or remove citizens of enemy countries from the U.S.

I hope this is clear enough. I was bolding the violent parts until it basically ended up all bold.

It's a sure-fire winner of an argument , for the professionally credulous fools in the mainstream media that always push the great both-sides lie.
