With lines like "[your political opinion] is a mental disorder", why is he surprised they aren't coming?

"I voted for the idea that women aren't people, now the women in my life don't like me."
"Liberalism is a mental disorder" These people are very telling how they treat people who they think legitimately have mental illness.

Said the man who made his political opinion his whole twitter profile.
This is so sad.
Those three women deserve a better dad.
~~Boycotting Thanksgiving~~ organizing an asshole free Thanksgiving
Ftfy
Their inversion of introspection is amazing.
Your dinner, their choice
“Allowed”.
Think I found the “nice guy” underlying reasons.
"I let them vote how they wish"
Does he think not committing voter intimidation is some noteworthy deed?
There’s clearly more to this story. The simple fact that his username is “Conservative” indicates that he is one of those people that make their political ideology a major part of their identity.
This man is probably an insufferable ass.

"Now I have been informed that all three children are boycotting thanksgiving".
Hmm, maybe it has something to do with shit talking them on twitter. Maybe, and this is just a guess, the family gatherings are not politics free zones but full of conspiracies and drama and more shit talking. Just a guess. But none of this is his fault, it's those damn brainwashed libruls who are spoiling his fun. Now how is he going to do his trump victory lap if his daughters stay away?
Pretty sure they're not boycotting thanksgiving and just boycotting him. They'll probably have the best thanksgiving together in years.

“My kids don’t want to hang out with me after I dismissed their opinions as a mental disorder and the party I voted for tries to control their bodies! Why must I suffer? I didn’t do anything to them directly! These kids today are so unfaaaair!”
What a jackass.
I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.
Shocking his three daughters don’t support a felon who publicly brags about sexually assaulting women and wanting to bang his daughter.

"I openly voted against the interests of my own children and also openly claim they have a mental disorder for their views."
Get fucked.
These people really are clueless. No appreciation at all for how their actions affect others. They get surprised when people stop putting themselves in harms way by simply not being around them.
Want your family back? Realize that what you think is some free speech populist revolution is just an excuse for a lot of people to be assholes and expect no consequences.
Lol he said his kids have a mental disorder and expects them to keep talking to him.
For wanting to protect their bodily autonomy. He calls it a disease.
It might be because this guy voted for trump, and that would be justifiable, but it's more likely that it's because they have made MAGA their entire personality. Their twitter feed is just a non stop bullshit feed filled with retweets from the usual suspects, there's no self taken photos, no fun shitposts, nothing about hobbies or events they go to.... just transphobia, bullshit and even praise towards Matt Gaetz ffs. Who would want to spend a dinner with someone like that.
I have a family member that doesn't get this (thankfully just the one). It's not that he voted for Trump, it's all the shit he says. The casual "haha jk" racism when I introduced him to a Hispanic friend of mine. The fact that he will loudly talk about some things specifically to upset or annoy people. The fact that he thinks politics is a team sport and Trump's win is a personal victory for him that somehow means he "beat" the rest of us.
“It’s not because you voted for Trump. It’s because you’re the kind of person who would vote for Trump.”

I let them vote how they wish
How wholesome
"I didn't personally infringe on their rights at all"
All while voting against their interests. Sounds like a wonderful father.

Visceral proof that conservatism is a legitimate mental disorder. Good on the kids, they’ll very likely have the outstanding thanksgiving they deserve.

If I was told this by someone in private I would at least be sympathetic, but blasting your children in a public forum is like yelling in walmart. I just can’t view you as any semblance of a good person if you’re publically taking the “eternal victim” stance.
Like, the expected outcome for this rube is that an echo chamber shits on his kids. Gee I wonder why his kids don’t like him, must be mental illness.
The dad's comment strongly resembles a lot of posts that I've seen where people say that their kids won't talk to them anymore. They always leave out the most relevant information and act like some lesser thing is the actual problem. They may do it intentionally or unintentionally. It may be narcissism. It may be an inability to face reality. It may be that they always minimize their children.
But if you hear from the daughters, it will likely not simply be that he voted for Trump. We're missing out on entire lifetimes of context. There will be a lot of discussions leading up to that point. There will be a refusal to hear the children out. There will likely be a long history of emotional abuse.
And then, the last straw probably won't even be his vote for Trump, but some terrible behavior that he exhibited afterwards. These parents then go online and make up some story that lets them be the victim. You can't say for sure that this is the case, but nowhere in his post does he even try to acknowledge any specific things that his daughters said.
