Trump was talking about the violent MS-13 gang and illegal immigration of criminals but you wouldn't ever know that since the media you consume cuts and edits out of context but orange man bad right

You legit have never made a good post in your life. You should work on that.

I have a feeling this is the part where he runs. Lol

He was never stopping to begin with. You'll notice not a single Donnie supporter can ever articulate anything they like about him. It's always just a drive-by Super Soaker of diarrhea from them full of vague nonsense of some form of "cry moar libz!1"

Oh I'm aware. They take cues from their dear leader and follow his example. Saying nasty crap and then hiding.

None of them have any spine, it's cowardice and lies all the way down.

"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.

If you need the threat of eternal damnation to be a good person, you're just a bad person on a leash.

You'd think the cowards would be willing to risk that to support something they claim to care about.

But "willing to fold to authority without a fight" is one of the requirements of MAGAtry, right up there with "needs to hate people to feel alive" and "thinking is actually painful so better avoid it."

I've actively disowned a cousin after they disowned my niece (or cousin once removed?)/their daughter for coming out.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

You shouldn't disown over politics, just the set of beliefs that they have.
I've disowned Fil-Am relatives from both political sides.
Finally decided to stop talking to a cousin and friend because they voted Trump

I agree with the message behind this topic but still think that maybe not all magas are completely irredeemable people and if anyone has a shot of helping them then it's going to be friends and family. Especially if those people have otherwise shown love, affection and care in other aspects of their life.

Like, I don't believe my partner's trump supporting brother is a fundamentally evil person. I just think he's a fucking idiot, and sadly mislead, and vulnerable. That is easier to believe than the idea that he just hates everyone and wants to do them harm.

But for all y'all who have awful family and they've never shown any redeemable features then eat your heart out.

I apologize that this is going to come across harsh, but you are saying this from a place of privilege, it seems. It is not so easy to accept and allow this sort of stupidity or malice into one's life when they are already in an at-risk group (trans for example).

Whether it's stupidity or malice, it doesn't make much difference. The outcome and impact on mental (and sometimes physical) safety and health doesn't care if it's because the person is stupid or evil.

I absolutely am speaking from privilege, I acknowledge that. When it comes to safety, you do what you have to do. It's anyone's prerogative to prioritise their own safety over some probably misguided idea about extending an olive branch or whatever.

Consider though, my partner is openly and proudly queer with they/them pronouns, and we inhabit a lot of queer and trans communities and spaces. And yet I know her maga-brother to be a generally...kind person? Like he babysits the kid, he takes care of his family, he's polite to waitstaff. I have to believe that her brother is someone that can change for the better, because he wasn't always like this.

It's something we talk about a lot, and I don't have a neat answer for it. He became a maga-person because society failed him, it seems. He ended up homeless in portland. How he got from there to this I'm not really sure, but I think its' rooted in resentment.

I guess its her choice if she wants to cut him out.

*I'll also own the slight tone-deafness of my posts here. I realise that we're all a bit sick of being expected to be the ones that extend the hand of friendship across the divide to people who literally want to kill us. I just don't really know what else to do at this point.

No, they definitely are.

This implies my MAGA friends and family respect me enough to value my opinion on if they should change. They only would possibly if I stopped talking to them, even then Im not holding my breath. One is a good guy in most respects, the other is narcissistic

I think most MAGA people are just ignorant, but if you have no self-awareness you end up hurting the people around you anyway. I tried to have a convo with my MAGA cousin and he held chat gpt up to my face In the middle of my sentence to show me something cool. Never mind the fact he wasnt paying attention to what I was saying.

I hate anti-immigration people as well. MAGA can get bent, the border is so easily scapegoated

This might have been true during his first-term, but anybody who's still Team Trump after everything that's happened since then is a lost cause.
I have nothing else to say

And he voted to commit acts of genocide on American soil, including his own goddamn sister as a target.

I feel in general that most who are so willing to cut off family over politics probably already had deep seated issues with them in the first place. But there are times when it is definitely justified

Disagreeing with MAGA in 2024 is not a political stance any more. It's a moral one.

Yeah I suspect a lot of the other side of things apply too

like, the family they want to cut off already views them as annoying and not someone to invite to family gatherings. So its easier for the person to cut off this family when they are already becoming (but not fully) ostracised

at least In some cases, I bet

I'm glad my family is centrist. I hate political extremism.
If my family wants to try and own me over politics. (Own the Liberals)
I have the right to DIS-Own Them, over the very same thing.

if a family member is a MAGA, that is justification enough.

MAGA is Code for Far Right Extremist.

If they are just Moderate Republicans, I would hope most people would not disown their family over politics. (unless they are full of hate and bigotry regardless of politics.)

If they were never into politics , even though they didnt vote, and they are partially at fault for us being in this situation, I can't really fault someone that stayed out of politics their whole life, for not being very political.

Anyone that voted for Trump can not be classified as a Moderate. (Ignorance is no excuse)
They have no place at my dinner table, and I will never sit at theirs.

I've certainly never heard any politican say they want minorities to be killed.

I know this comment is four days old, but I still have to inquire, "What do you think they meant by 'cleansing the blood of our nation from the vermin poisoning it?' Just asking minorities to nicely leave?"

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 feel it says a lot about you that you don't care about politics until they impact you personally.

You know, it's said that first, they'll come for the communists...

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

Good. Lots of people are paying attention and reminding us all.

That has been inseparable since Jan 6, 2021, at a bare minimum .

Longer if you know how to listen to dog whistles, but definitely since it was all attempted out in the open, and they've now sided with him, eyes open.
