Yeah I haven’t told my parents I voted for Trump. Don’t plan to either, at least not soon.

Even when I was still a democrat I didn’t like talking politics with them because it was all so mean-spirited. They didn’t talk about policies or futures or problems they just talked about Republicans.

So I just don’t talk politics with them and as I started to shift I just got more and more silent. I don’t really care how they vote. I don’t really care about their politics. They’ve my parents. I’d never cut them off for opposing me politically.

But I’m worried they might. Or I just don’t know what would happen. So I don’t bring it up. They talk their shit over dinner and I smile and nod and don’t add anything, because I don’t get to see them very often, and I love them.

That's sad. You shouldn't have to hide the fact that you voter for Epstein's closest friend to your familly.

Yeah, what you dont understand is that by voting für Trump you are actively hurting woman as well as trans people and the american economy as a whole.

And, even tho Im no expert about humans, I think people dont like you if you hurt others.

And I think Democratic policies are hurting people. Like all the drug overdoses, and the military deaths, and the women being stoned to death in Afghanistan. Mismanaging the world causes lots of death, and could cause the death of all of us.

But I can’t change any of that by being mad at my parents, even if they’re connected to it by their votes.

Life’s too short to hate the people I love.

W started two illegal wars... Trump singed the order to leave Afghanistan a mess. Wtf are you voting for exactly?!?

You can't possibly be this misinformed

and the military deaths,

what the fuck is this bullshit?

[–] Shizrak@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Drug overdoses are not a democratic policy.

Military deaths are a policy of both major parties.

Afghanistan is not our country. If republicans were so concerned about the Afghan people, Trump shouldn't have pulled our troops out of Afghanistan.

Try again, maybe with something that is a democratic policy, and not just a lie that you've been fed.

They don't talk policies, huh?

Can you name one republican policy that's both not hateful and something they actually follow through on? Just one.
