Tragic story OP. Leave the door open for her to return. Don’t offer her any money. But if she does get off her high horse and ask, then have the conversation with her. She has to be responsible for her own actions. You have been enabling this by giving her money after she graduated.
Dealing with grown adult kids is so difficult.

LSS ... on Jan 1st 2021, I wished him Happy New Year. He responded with ... and Happy New President, meaning Joe Biden. I flipped the script this year and "GFY, you're not my brother" was his response.

I’d have to rise above the differences and her attitude towards me, and help out. Positive words, patience, yes even money.
This is where Jesus got it perfect… why did everyone love Him even when they could die for it?? Because He loved them into submission. He loved them when it was hard, He loved when they didn’t deserve it. Love wins. Show her that we conservatives will always be the party of peace and love, even when you don’t deserve it (AKA us playing God who is the true Judge and Jury)

Love and giving aren’t the same.
Unconditional love is not welfare.
When my daughter started college sometimes ai would wake up at 2 a.m and she would be at the bar scene with friends. I didn’t call her up and tell her “ this is not how me and your mom raised you and I not paying your college tuition or living expenses “
Rather, I texted her “ hey dad loves you and is praying for you, my phone is on, call me if you need me”.
Didn’t take a semester for her to quit the scene. And she know I love her not by her location or choices but in spite of it.
I absolutely want wise choices but would rather help them and love them than divide myself for her.

She's a 25 year old adult woman who should be married with a child by now. She needs to grow up and stop living off of Daddy's support.

What a great story. I love seeing the insufferable libs fall on their faces, even though this is your daughter and I bet it’s difficult.
I would’ve just responded with “K” after original email and then proceeded to cut off the financials.

I probably couldn’t do it if I had girls, but this makes me think of my sons when they were young. I told them both that love them enough to be okay with them hating me, if they insist on making bad choices in life. I told them there will be consequences for their actions and choices. That I loved them enough to allow them to make their own choices when I thought they were mature enough, but that they had to deal with the consequences of those choices, whether from me, the law, or whomever.
They are both college grads, successful, happy, and hard conservative with a lot of libertarian ideals. I’m happy.

You support a party that has an 80% Fatherless home rate, and encourages this practice. You may want to sit any discussion out that involves raising a family and accountability.

Fast forward 2 weeks, and she received an email yesterday that she was let go from her job.
Well damn. That's some "respect thy parents" Jesus comeuppance karma right there.
Tell her she gets nothing if she stays up there. Get her friends to help. But if she moves back home she needs to respect the rules and beliefs of your home. And has 3 months to get a job and move out.

I bet you are one of those "unconditional love" doofuses. Parents are teachers, not friends. He clearly has done more than enough for her. Her realizing he was right, is a part of the parent/child relationship. Not new.

Your daughter is dead, killed by the woke mind virus. She won’t be coming back

Sounds like it's not about the relationship. It's a hard lesson she has to learn.

That’s entirely up to her. She has to realize her mistakes first or it’s wasted effort.

I may stray and not always live by his principles, but I’ve never cut him out of my life and turned my back on him.
These liberals do this.

My kids have different views than I do.
But, they have never been disrespectful and don't usually ask for help.
I am happy to help them regardless of their views or need. But there are boundaries.
If someone is being disrespectful to their parents regardless of dfifference of views, it can be very beneficial to let them know it's not ok by not being so willing to help for certain things.
A disagreement on views is not necessarily disrespectful but insults are and that's where I would draw the line.
