Sadly, I can relate to this article.
A few years ago, if you didn’t want to vote for Hillary, you lost friends and some family.
Now if you think Trump is better suited for the office than Biden, the friends are still gone, and family is dropping like flies.
Many of us can relate to this personally. To chase after family or people who disrespect / despise / reject you for political reasons in America in order to maintain a destructive relationship over no relationship, is a form of mental illness too, a co-dependency. In the article, the antagonist is using his children for political reasons ... that is even worse.
Lots of us have experienced this. It is sad that they cannot understand that people can look at the same facts and, with honesty and good faith, disagree with each other. Moderation and tolerance are NOT part of their being, despite them shouting about how tolerant they are from the mountain tops. They are filled with hate and have proven that they would exercise dictatorial power if given the chance. By cutting off relations with those of their family who are moderate or conservative, they have lost the opportunity to learn some incredibly important things (starting with the fact that they don’t have a monopoly on morality and tolerance for others who think differently) from those who actually care about them. Their loss, not ours.
“A few years ago, if you didn’t want to vote for Hillary, you lost friends and some family.”
For me, that started happening in the Obama years...even more so after his re-election. I have to admit...I may have been an instigator. It was hard to accept that every other person I met on the street had stabbed me in the back.

I went through this during Bill Clinton years ...I have not missed one of ‘em.
AND I’m happy.
TRUMP is NOT JESUS, but I find it very interesting that all this hate really calls to mind a lot of scripture. If something is true and right, and important enough, no threat in the world should make me cave... If I do, I’m doing more harm than good to those grandkids. If it’s only a sign in the yard, well... But you know this person will not stop at that. The Dad may have to get on one knee and kiss the LGBTQ ring.
From Matthew Chapter 10: (Jesus speaking)
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
