I’m also a liberal from texas, but I went no-contact with my maga family. It was the best hard decision I’ve ever made. Now that the veil of “but they’re your family they can’t be awful people” has been removed, I can see them more clearly and am sooo glad to not have to be surrounded by those miserable twats

Edit: I love all these comments taking me sharing a family dynamic as a personal attack and then telling me I’m a miserable asshole without knowing a single thing about my family other than that they’re maga. Sorry yall prob had ppl in your lives cut you off for being maga as well, but you don’t have to project that shit on me lol

I mean, good for you.

Then again, it could be confirmation bias upholding your decision rather than looking at them with any real human empathy. But, you know, they are bad people and it isn’t you! They lack empathy! It’s all them!

And then we can all stay broke and miserable arguing about which one of our owners we like or dislike.

I prefer to treat “problematic” family like alcohol: a little bit now and then is fine. But too much too often will make me sick. Don’t mean I don’t have a bottle in the house. I just don’t have to drink it just because it’s there.

Perfect now you can rely on your cats to help you out if you ever get into an accident or have a financial crisis or need any form of real support.👍

Hahahaha my parents and siblings are broke and I’ve got a very supportive husband, friends, in-laws…sticking with your family simply for financial support is pathetic

Man, it's hilarious and pathetic how all this people are talking as if they personally knew you and your family.

Also, they can't understand that your family also cared enough about these issues to the point that you were driven away lol

Sorry you let your political views take so much control over you that you severed bonds with your family. This is not the brag you think it is.

Nah I don’t fuck with them because they don’t care about human lives, vote to hurt others, and are generally insufferable to be around
