I needed to post this somewhere. Spoke with my family moments ago, mentioned I’m going to the rally. They said they never want to see me again if I go. I’ve managed to avoid speaking politics with them for most of the year. I wasn’t expecting this kind of reaction. Would you sacrifice everything you believe and know to be true for your family? Was told I’m a fuck-up, loser, delusional, I’ll die in trailer park, and they’ll never speak to me again. My mom told the reason she hasn’t visited me much this last year hasn’t been COVID, it’s because I support Trump. That they’ve put up this delusional behavior and I need to accept that Trump lost. They said Trump is inciting violence and working with Putin. They believe such obvious bullshit and as much as I’ve previously tried I can’t break through MSM propaganda. I had let go trying to talking about certain subjects to keep the peace and enjoy the good parts. This whole thing is ripping my fucking heart out. Do I just never see my family again and support the truth? My mom, dad, sister. Didn’t know where else to post this, just had to put this out somewhere.
Do you choose family or what you know to be right? This just happened, I have put this out somewhere

Always choose what is right. Just because they are blood does not make them worthy of the title of family. You have family everywhere now.
the fact that your fam can't visit bc you support trump answers the question itself.
mean, spiteful people are democrats. there's nothing wrong with you pede- i'm sorry to hear your troubles. we should all be able to respect each other's viewpoints and a failure to do so shows immaturity.
stay strong friend. hopefully they will come around with time.
What is right. Time will heal those sort of wounds but it is likely this will be our only chance to do what is right before shit hits the fan.
Start your own family and make some maga babies. Might take a minute, but this too shall pass.
I'm sorry. 😢 Stay strong. TDW is your family. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 LOTS OF THEM!!! 🇺🇸❤🤍💙🇺🇸
Thank you, that means a lot right now
Truth before all things.
If you gave up your principles for your mom, dad, sister, how would that feel? You're not trying to mold them; they're the ones trying to shape you to their preference.
Mejor solo que mal acompañado = Better alone than badly partnered. Walk away from toxic people, no matter who they are.
You don’t have to choose anything, Pede. It is their choice to make. Stand tall on your convictions and hold your head up high. Your family should be honored to have a brave Patriot willing to fight for righteousness.
They left you, bro. Feel no shame. You are right to ignore their attacks and do what you know in your heart to be right.
The reason that they are acting this way is because they have not been exposed to the truth in any fashion. Tell them that you love them, and that you are willing to sit with them and watch any 10 videos of their choosing that support their way of thinking, alternating with 10 videos of your choosing. You must watch the videos together, and everyone has to listen respectfully to all questions and opposing points of view. A lifetime as a family should be worth 20 or so hours of their time to try to come to an understanding. Before the rally, ask them to watch highlights of the fraud hearings,( especially Jovan Pulitzer ) showing what makes you feel so strongly about attending this rally, make them see this is not all about supporting a candidate, as much as it is saving the country by ensuring free and fair elections. I feel for you-Good Luck.
The last civil war was brother killing brother. Understand that they will have you sent to a concentration (covid) camp given the slightest chance. Are you comfortable having people in your life who will murder you if they are told to?
Understand...BUT...they were already avoiding you because of your support for Trump...what does that say about them. They would call you vile names... accuse you of awful things all because you dont agree with the hive mind. Im not sure you are losing anything if you go.
The insults came from my mom. Her I’d be fine with not seeing. It’s my sister and pops, they fold to whatever she says. I split a place with my pops because we both work out of state at the same power plant. He told me after I posted this originally to expect the locks to be changed. I’d be losing my home as well. I thought I’ve had rock and a hard place decisions, no I hadn’t.
If you work at a power plant you should be able to afford your own place. I had to go a year before my daughter came around and now wejust never discuss politics. It is tough but appeasing bullies never works.
The money is just a side point. A friend of mine went through something similar to this. His daughter stopped speaking to him after he said he wouldn’t donate to BLM.
No matter my decision, that this would be used as a club against me has destroyed what my family is anyway.
Hold the line. It took a year of no communication between me and my daughter and she wouldnt let me see my grandson but one day she texted me she needed me and I went straight away.
Sometime you have to walk away from people you care about. Hopefully they come around. If not you are better off. I have adult kids and I would never says those things to them. Hang in there and find people that care about you. Build a life around them.
This is solid advice.
You need a better family
Bless your heart. That is awful. They don't sound like a good family to you. Do what you feel is right. xoxo
Send them all MAGA hats and let them know you did it for them.
keep on loving them..
you can stand on the principles you believe in and still love them where their at.
Maybe they won’t reciprocate but you are doing two things right.
It sounds tough. A lot of us have similar situations. Can’t say I have such a gaping chasm between those that close to me... but you can feel the tension.
Pray and trust in God to sort it all out and guide you thru it all.
Should’ve just told them I was going to the beach. I work at the same power plant as my pops, it’s a moot point with that option. Wish I had done that, I just did not expect this reaction.
Truth. But don't give up on your family. They are sick and being deceived. Never stop trying to help them.
Will they ever 'forgive' you for supporting Trump?
Seeing now that my parents won’t. My sister maybe.
I'm feeling this way too. My wife had hip surgery and is on crutches, needs help with stuff. I feel like a POS for not being able to go to DC, and she thinks I'm not "in a good place" because I keep checking the "news" (sites like this, since there's nowhere to get news anymore) and I'm constantly distracted.
Ive been hoping something like this would happen in my lifetime- that the public would wake and an uprising would finally be called.
And I can't be there, and it sucks. But I'd say this- if you have an obligation to immediate family, take no shame in staying. If you're worried about what your mom would think, then screw it. She will thank you when the time comes for standing up.
The status quo is unteneble. I'm hoping that the boys burn the goddamn capitol down. I just wish I could be there.
Don't hate your family. They truly believe they are on the right side.
Hate the MSM, schools, and all the so called intellectuals. Hold them responsible.
I don’t hate them and I won’t hate them. It hurts to my core to see them filled with such hate. It didn’t used to be this way. They haven’t invented words to describe the amount I despise those institutions of propaganda
