Already have. Not just because she's liberal, but because she's a deranged raging thundercunt about it.

Anyone who doesn’t kick out liberals from their family is a huge piece of shite and is part of the problem. Under no circumstances should liberal viewpoints be tolerated. Some things are more important than family, and politics is one of them.

That’s just the facts. We won’t have a country left to enjoy if we keep allowing liberals to run wild.

I haven't completely cut my close family member off but have definitely lessened interactions with her.

No. My entire family, mom dad and brother, are absolutely riddled with TDS. It’s perplexing and exhausting but we do our best to avoid political topics. I have to keep reminding myself that they believe everything they see on MSNBC and CNN.

Family is Family.

I really don’t get the need to cut anybody off.

It’s simple, liberals hate this country and I love it.

Liberals do not have the same vision of this country going forward and they despise the country that, whether they like it or not, were born in and grew up in. I cherish this country and don’t want it to change, if anything, it needs to revert back to better times.

But more importantly, and this is what you fricking idiots don’t get, I want this country to be great and prosperous for my children. I don’t want this country to look like Europe currently and the inevitable demise of Europe in less than 20 years.

Liberals hate the 2nd Amendment, are purely emotional thinkers, are weak at their core, believe in flooding our country with illegal migrants, want illegal labor, believe in policies that directly contribute to growing inflation, push the DEI narrative which at it’s core is the anti-thesis to American founding principles, have pushed the LGBT narrative so far over the edge that trannies are reading to elementary kids and little boys are cutting their dicks off.

Liberals funded Covid and were the most staunch supporters of lockdowns and throwing away their own freedoms.

A modern conservative American, who is still closely aligned with the founding principles of this country, has nothing in common with a progressive liberal democrat. You are an enemy of this country and to my family, and most of you lack the self awareness to grasp that concept.

If you grew up with someone you have a great deal in common no matter how off the rails they may have gone.

Already have, for the most part. No problem. Stupid people raise the normal danger levels around you. I choose to keep my levels lower thru good decisions.

Came down to what? And what liberal views are the line in the sand? You value politics over your children, parents grandkids, siblings etc?

Problem with politics today….. my views and my family are not the same so we don’t talked politics for the most part. Not throwing away my family over people who really don’t give a shite about the average American. They only care about who can give them power and money.

Depends.

Are they just annoying with their political statements?

Or

Are they giving my physical address to Antifa and BLM?

I have a few liberal friends. We don’t discuss politics in social settings so we generally get along pretty well. However, when they “FA”, I don’t hesitate to make them “FO”, in a very disproportionate manner.

Such a dumbass question.

My daughter has been exposed to different information than me, which results in different opinions, so I'm going to "cut her off".

"My sister believes Trump is a bumbling idiot so I'm not inviting her to Thanksgiving dinner."

Yes, personal relationships fall well below the value of a political opinion.

How old are you?

There would be no need for a “cut off” as parties would either not discuss politics or find their relationships so caustic and escalating towards violence that both would simply not want to maintain them. Cost/benefit.

“Can two walk together lest they be agreed “. On big issues, nope.

Would you cut them off if they wanted to see you in prison for your political views?



That's a fair question and the stakes are a lot higher.

Are they just wishing and hoping you go to jail because you are a republican and mean? Or are they fabricating evidence and trying to get you thrown in jail by deception and fraud?

The first case would make them a whiny arse. The second case would make them bad people in general regardless of their political views and you don't need a justification to cut them off. You don't need a reason to cut off liars and thieves.

Friends yes, but they are the ones that they didn't want to be friends with Trump supporters. I stopped reaching out to them, and they've stopped reaching out to me.

It depends on the family.

I'd have a hard time cutting off my kids. My daughter is the main one. At least she's crazy about her husband and appreciates how hard he works. She's not working because of health issues, and he is super supportive of that.

I have, other than birthday events, we don't see any of my liberal family members.

Her family are liberals, same as her, but they are her family, so that's her problem.
