He is dreading his upcoming Thanksgiving family gathering because of the political division in his family. His in laws say that God sent the hurricane to punish Asheville because of their liberalism and godless nature.

I have so much shame that tens of millions of my fellow Americans have the same ideology as my friends in laws. Pure disgust.
 
Why must God's people continue to suffer for the actions of these heathens?!?
Btw, when did Christians become God's people? Never saw where either He, Jesus or the Holy Ghost said it. Did Jesus ever quit being a Jew?

When it's convenient, hurricanes are sent by God to punish liberals. Also when it's convenient, liberals control the weather and send hurricanes to destroy red areas of the country so the government can take the land. And apparently the same hurricane can be both!

That's legitimately one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Conservative white Evangelicals may be more disconnected from reality and logic than any other demographic in the country.

When the Jews put Jesus on the cross and God decided he liked white people better anyway.

Haven't you seen Surfer Jesus? That dude's totally a white guy.
 
I don't understand why people on either side can't just get along. I have zero issues with it.

I got Trump supporters and Harris voters that will be in my home and we all do just fine.

Yeah i accepted a long time ago that most Americans are arrogantly ignorant. I tolerate anybody and I do my own stress free thing with a i dont give a shit fu attitude. Really rubs emotional freaks the wrong way even though no offense is ever intended.

Yeah. Pretty much my entire extended family are/were Trump voters. We certainly do not see eye to eye on most things politics these days, and I certainly find their stated reasons for voting for Trump to be nonsensical and incoherent (I'm sure they say the same about my vote). But I'm just not willing to shun family or friends over politics. Those relationships were extremely important to me long before Trump ever came onto the political scene and they'll be extremely important to me long after he's gone- and he will be gone, sooner rather than later in the grand scheme of time.

I will say, I am a bit worried for many of those family members who I know live on almost nothing but Social Security, disability, veterans benefits, etc., but I can't do anything about it for them and they voted how they voted, so the chips will fall where they may.
 
I will be cordial with family members who are Trumpers as long as they don't bring up politics. I won't go out of my way to spend time with them, though. The usual get-togethers with the holidays are fine. Now, people outside the family who are MAGA, screw them. I don't have time in my life now for racists, bigots and idiots.
 
All of my extended family are college / graduate educated Trumpers (except my son) so I’ll get along with everyone, including my misguided, Never Trumper son ( we think he strayed when he went to HBS to get his MBA), with his Ga Tech undergrad. Don’t write off family members just because of political differences and…don’t shave your head.

Go Heels, beat AU!

It's not "just politics" with Trump. And people not seeing that, or refusing to see because of who they truly are, is the problem.
