Yale psychiatrist urges MSNBC viewers to shun Trump-voting family members over the holidays

A Yale-affiliated psychiatrist encouraged LGBTQ+ people whose family members voted for Donald Trump to cut ties and shun their relatives over the upcoming holidays — as fallout from the election reached hysteria on left-leaning MSNBC.

Yale University child psychiatry fellow Dr. Amanda Calhoun dug into the issue of the post-election crises in the LGBTQ+ community with MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Friday night.

“There is a societal push that, if somebody is your family, they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not,” Calhoun said in a clip shared online.

“So, if you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why,” she continued.

“To say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday, I need to take some space for me.’”

Calhoun appeared on liberal network’s “The ReidOut” in response to reports of a massive increase in crisis calls from LGBTQ+ youth in the wake of Trump’s staggering win this week.

Under Trump’s presidency, many rights and protections for trans people and other members of the LGBTQ+ community are likely to be under serious threat, advocates say.

If Dr Bandy X Lee is not available to give her advice I suppose I’ll have to rely on Dr Calhoun, if she’s the only other credentialed POS on offer

“Meanwhile, the Trump voters are changing their wills. Sorry, kids, that $10 million now goes to the Home for Indigent Pussycats!”

Love it!

Cat juggling! I’ve heard about that. Sure I’ll help out.

Reality is it hard to have meaningful conversations with Harris supporters. All one can do is have superficial conversations about the weather, hobbies, or sports. Even that can become difficult because government is intruding more and more into more areas of our lives.

selfish self-centered family members that choose to impose their B.S. on family members at family functions are not welcome to either attend the family functions or visit family without a specific invite and PROOF of their mental and emotional stability before attending. NO EXCEPTIONS.

These are the people who would cheer if Trump were assassinated. They would happily turn you over to authorities if being right wing was a crime. It isn’t for the moment but there are enough clues out there what they would do if it was. Cancel culture reveals much of their way of thinking. This little tidbit of shunning family is one of them. Remember politics to them is their religion. It over arches their entire existence and warps their minds.

This borders on malpractice. Recommending a population that generally is unhappy with high levels of depression and suicide isolate themselves from friends and family because the don’t vote the way you want them to.

How does a person grow and continue to grow, change, learn, experience throughout their life span following advice like this?

No wonder people are turning into simple minded, angry, self-absorbed zombies, frozen forever in some period of their youth.

Americans should be more bothered by this than we are. The country is a long way down the road to Mao’s China.

The only thing keeping these lunatics from putting you in a Dunce cap and kicking your lifeless body into a pit, is the fact that the standard of living in America is still too high to be supported without you.

Thus the push to eat bugs and use no energy. Only when the people have nothing can the revolution come.

The first thing a cult leader does is separate a person from his family and make them the enemy. Yale is filled to the brim with left wing DEI psychos. This freak grooms the mentally ill LGBLT to join the cult.

If the gov. would stop funding grants with taxpayers dollars to all of these “woke” left wing colleges they would be singing a different tune. They would cry and scream bloody murder for a while, but then would either see the light, or eventually collapse. Quite the opposite should occur. Funding for colleges and universities that promote patriotism and common sense and morals as well as a superior education.

My 36 yo liberal daughter must have listened to this hateful quack. She denounced us all on Wednesday.
