He’s a father of a 28-year-old son and he’s hurting. A retired police officer, he proudly voted for Donald Trump every time he ran and never hid his political beliefs from his family. “My son and his wife say that since I’m a fan of Trump they’re no fan of mine and cut me off,” he said. “Now I can’t see my only grandchild who I was so close to. It’s crazy and it’s tragic.”

Social psychologists have long understood that merely identifying with a group in competitive contexts can lead people to view those outside the group less favorably. Historically, those dividing lines were differences like religion, race and ethnicity, age, and gender. Today, political affiliation is the most significant determinant of this us-them division, research shows. Furthermore, affective polarization makes “belongers” feel justified in treating those in the opposing party with disdain, contempt, and even hostility.
…
According to our research, today, 1 in 2 adults is estranged from a close relative. While the primary cause of these rifts is often tied to something a relative said or did, 1 in 5 directly cite political differences as the reason. Among those estranged over politics, nearly half report that the break occurred within the past year, with 1 in 7 stating it happened as recently as the month leading into the election…
…
Just over half of those who are estranged because of politics want to reconcile to some degree, and an apology from the relative or demonstrable change in their behavior may increase that potential. But most say reconnecting is unlikely, with 1 in 5 saying they never want to make up. Our survey shows that even a death in the family or an intervention by a relative isn’t enough to get most to resume contact.

So many kids are suing the Parents for their inheritance any more, want it right now even if the parents still alive and well. During my time in the Court system I saw a dozen hearings where the kids demanded what the Parents had.
HE CAN GO TO COURT & CHALLENGE THIS
Seriously! What crawled up Fuzz’s fanny tonight? Must be that time of the month. 🤷♀️
The easiest way is to just take it with you when you go ....
These Democrat Underground types on Free Republic have a predictable cycle on FR - they get the High Speed Lefty wobs and go off the rails, into the loving hands of the FR moderators, who give them a time-out to get their DemoCommie minds right.
The administrator of the estate. I’m not sure how things are done today, but I’ve encountered many wills in my genealogy research where the children were skipped in favor of the grandchildren. The administrator or Executor had to submit accounts to the court every month until the children were of age, even if a parent was still living. My own grandparents were passed over by the in-laws in favor of the grandchildren. They never wanted my grandmother to marry my grandfather because he quit school in the 8th grade. So the farm they lived on was deeded to the grandchildren. My grandfather. who was the sweetest, most hardworking man you would ever meet, never owned a single square inch of property. He was a sharecropper first, and then moved onto the in-laws land that was deeded to his kids. He had a stroke at age 79 and fell off his tractor, which rolled over him.
From WHICH relative? The one who was "shunned?!"

I’m gen X. Cut me off and I may not even notice. If I do notice I won’t care. Because if you’re willing to cut me out of your life over something like popular culture or politics then you weren’t really a good friend in the first place.

To go “no contact” gives them power over somebody else. It’s what they want because it’s what they otherwise lack.
Everybody got a trophy 🏆
Interesting that the bodies of Gene Hackman and his wife have been on ice for more than a month and their bodies haven’t been claimed by any of his three children. That’s one kick-ass grudge.
“But the things she believed..why did she have to say them out loud?!”
They can’t help themselves. Seriously. “The devil made me do it.”
I never tell anyone how I vote. I was raised that way. There is a good reason for the curtain on the voting booth.
“Unless, of course, the grands turn out to be a bunch of jerks also.”
I’ve heard reporting on polls that show the 18-to-29 age range is leaning pretty conservative. One report said they are the most conservative generation in several decades. Not sure if it’s true; you can make polls say anything.
I have several senior friends who are Trump supporters who have been disowned by friends and family because of it.
