Vanity: Have you cut anyone out of your life because they voted for Hillary / Biden / Harris?

Posted on 11/10/2024 8:38:22 AM PST by bigdaddy45

This is a fascinating phenomenon. Liberals are so unhinged they are cutting long time friends and family out of their life because they voted for Trump. Not just the vehement, Trump flag waving, MAGA hat wearing supporters. Literally ANYONE who they found out voted for Trump.

Is this just a one way pathology? Has anyone here cut someone out of their life because they voted for Hillary, Biden or Harris? I can't even imagine doing this to a family member or especially one of my kids.

No, but I have had liberal family members be rude to me.

I’ve ignored it so far because nothing has happened that merited any response other than silence and letting others see the rudeness expressed.

They are good-hearted people, I love them, and I don’t see them often.

I seldom burn bridges but I do close, and sometimes lock, doors.

“Yep, to me the joy of relationships is deep discussions...”

Good point. And that right there is the best “relationship” advice there is. If your “significant other” is incapable or unwilling to have those deep discussions, you probably need to move on and find someone else to spend the rest of your life with.

I recall my parents’ relationships with their siblings at times didn’t go that well. Some were lefties and incapable of having discussions... so at family events, discussion was usually avoided. Awkward times that should have been only fun and enjoyable.

No, not for voting.

I cut them out of my life awhile ago because they are unhinged psychopaths.

I actually let go of two friends in 2020 over it. Not just for their vote, but for their attitude toward me.

In other words, am I retarded?

No, I'm not.

“When people on the right unfriend leftists, it’s because those leftists have become rude.”

Yeah, like when they call you a racist.

No, I haven’t.

There are people who I consider friends who I think voted that way. Mostly, we just talk about sports.

I don’t bring up politics, but they know I won’t back down from an argument with them. I’ve kicked their ass in the past, so they don’t bring things up.

Thanks for posting. It is good to have a name for a behavior one has used.

No, but I’ve been unpersoned by at least one relative since 2016.

I have to keep very quiet every time votes come up. My daughter went to college you know. Right now she’s locked in her bedroom I’m sure. She might come out next Spring, and I better not mention voting for another 4 years

Sort of.

My very dear friend and her husband were ultra liberal. She and I had crafts and family in common and NEVER “went there” with politics, except maybe to joke in passing. (On election day 2016 we joked that we could save time by neither of us voting since we’d cancel out each other.)

She died in 2018. We tried to continue a relationship with her husband, but it just didn’t work out. When we’d get together, HE would bring up politics (we NEVER did) and rant about how horrible Republicans are. He’d do the pop-in at the house sometime. Very insulting.

Biden won and we were done with his crap. We had someone frost the windows of our front door and the windows around it so he wouldn’t be able to see if we were home. We stopped answering his calls.

We also cut nieces and a nephew out of our will. So there’s that.

Didn’t have to. Took care of all that during Bill Clinton’s terms. Have a couple of family members I haven’t spoken to in 20+ years. I have no use for communists, family or not.

I grew up in a family where you had to name your source, which over time became unnecessary for a couple of us as time proved that we didn’t need to since we only used firm facts and numbers and it was never personal but like other people playing a card game or board game, we were all searching for information and a better shaping of our views and reasons for them, and open to any sincere discussion.

Ravers and nutters and the nasty emotional arguers have always been people to avoid, for their personalities and because there was no value in a relationship with them, it would never go anywhere, and never become that rich, rewarding, lifelong relationship of growth.

I had a liberal niece beg out of Thanksgiving yesterday.

Oh well.

Nope.
I have extended family who voted for Harris and I still love them and they still love me.
I was wise enough not to ask them about the election.
