Who in the hell is advocating for coddling her? As already stated I'm perfectly fine with cutting her off financially. But that doesn't mean cutting her out of his life entirely over BS like politics. He has to continue to reach out if there is going to be a chance at reconciliation in the future.
How hard is it to have a non-political discussion with your kid to start to build some connection? They've been butting heads for years and it has done is lead to this point where everyone loses and most of you are celebrating it. It's dumb and avoidable. I'm right and you frickers know it.

She is not "A kid"
She is as much of an adult as he is.
Let's stop pretending that childhood extends past 18.
Tell that to her brain. Assuming she has hit 25 it just finally made the last synaptic connections for rational thinking.
Her dad doesn't have that excuse.

That's pseudoscience. The study that everyone uses to justify this piece of myth does not mention 25.

The dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, important for controlling impulses, is among the latest brain regions to mature without reaching adult dimensions until the early 20s. The details of the relationships between anatomical changes and behavioral changes, and the forces that influence brain development, have not been well established and remain a prominent goal of ongoing investigations.
They had stopped doing measurements after 25 in the original study
The human brain constantly adapts until death.
There are significant changes in the early 40s as well. We have far more data now than we did back in 2004.
It's very complex and there is no specific point when a brain matures.
She and her dad have the exact same excuse, their brains are constantly morphing physically.

Liberalism is a mental illness…but actions have consequences too. The fact that she intentionally sent you an email for no reason other than to tell you to GFY is the part that would piss me off. Don’t give her a dime until she apologizes.

Dad needs to find a real man to boink her back to reality.

Don't spin this, I asked you WHY you asked this random question.
It wasn't a random question. It is an obvious possibility. Why are you examining a conflict strictly from the perspective of one of the adversaries? THAT is the faulty logic that needs explaining.

Then I’m assuming you know this poster’s past & views on minorities? Because otherwise you’re engaging in injecting stereotypical views into a situation where no such issue may even exist.
You’re the one exhibiting faulty logic by presuming something without evidence.

Again, I presumed nothing. I am open to both sides being in the wrong. You are not, ergo you are the one presuming.

Nothing in the OP give any hint or commentary regarding “minorities“. You just interjected that by grabbing it from the ether with zero evidence to support.
It’s stunning that you still don’t see it. So ingrained with the stereotypical “conservative“ construct you seem to be invoking in this story.

Again.
This is the problem.
Look, kids have a natural tendency to lean left anyway. What almost always breaks that illusion is real life. If you shield them from real life their whole life and they never have to be responsible like an adult, they never have the illusion shattered.
It was your fault. Sorry, not trying to rub salt in the wound, but it was.

She hasn't yet asked my wife for money, she'd never ask me, but it's coming, and it's gonna suck for her when I tell her no.
At this point, tell your wife that any additional money that is send will be considered a LOAN, including some interest.
That way you are not continuing to give her a free ride and she can't accuse you of playing hardball since a bank won't give her a significant loan if she is unemployed.
I would also recommend to ask your wife to inquire about her credit card situation. Maxing out a credit card limit could be the next mistake in a situation like this.
Bottom Line: Wouldn't hurt to tell her that you love her in spite of your differences. The worst thing you could do right now is to pile on about her situation.

That was one possibility. It could be any number of ways the father let politics infuse his interactions with his daughter. It's the most likely one. I had a personal experience with one of my daughters. It was years ago, and my wife and I were both poking fun at Ellen Degeneres about her sexuality. One of our daughters called us out on it. And she was right. Not that my opinion was necessarily wrong, but that it's the sort of opinion best kept to yourself unless you are confidant in your companion's opinions.
We are used to leftists doing this, and they do tend to be much worse, but sometimes we could do it too.

I pray my kid doesn't end up like that. I feel for you though brother.

I'm with you Pen. It's a big red flag for the Dad to think it's funny for his daughter to lose her job. Not a good look from an already 1-sided version of events.

Bingo. I never pointed that out, but that was an unnatural reaction. Deep sadness is the normal one.

By not fighting to get his girl back he is writing it off. Be a freaking man and do what needs to be done. But he has chosen to accept whatever was in the email and gave up. That isn’t being a parent. This is all being driven by a difference in politics as far as we know. Maybe a better connection with his daughter could’ve avoided that. He’s the leader of his family. It’s time to lead and do things both of them may be uncomfortable with to mend the family. But it is worth it make no mistake. It takes two to tango but it starts with him reaching out to clear the air. He’s the parent… the one with decades of life experience to draw upon and a wife to act as intermediary if needed. All they have to do is start talking and break down whatever BS has driven a wedge between them. If he chooses not to go through with that…. He has written it off. He quit. Which is exactly where he finds himself now.

I read on here people saying to trust God and to keep trying. Well sometimes God might hit you right between the eyeballs with a 2x4 to get your attention so you can see straight.

This thread makes me so grateful for having a son and not a daughter.
I had both and was very blessed that they both have sense. I told my SIL two things when he asked for my daughter’s hand:
1. I hoped his family is conservative and don’t raise my grandchildren to be liberal wackos.
2. Don’t ever lay his hands on her in a violent way. He’s raising his family better than I’d hoped.
My son had a history class in college where the professor taught that George Floyd was a civil rights hero. He laughed at that nonsense.
OP needs to stop the gravy train and let her find out what that liberal utopia will get her.
