The division of politics hit home today

2 years ago my wife's aunt hung up on my wife and never talked to her again just because my wife voted for Donald Trump. Yesterday my wife found out indirectly that her aunt had died and that none of her kids wanted my wife's side of the family to know because they are all trump supporters as well . It should never come to this But I feel this is today's left because I know no one on the other side would ever deny the other members the right to mourn a loss

There was a point in our history where family members shot at each other over deeply held beliefs. This is nothing. As far as it never coming to this, read the thread about the transgender therapy about to be forced on an innocent six year old boy. When your enemy is evil, it comes to this.

Sounds like that side of the family has a screw loose. That is sad and fricking pathetic. Who gets THAT worked up over politics???

I am sure there are a lot more rifts in families and stories people are embarrassed to talk about because they are so bad.
I used to be related by marriage to a woman in PA that is batshit hating on Trump and his supporters. She posts on FB in long paragraphs that she cannot understand how anyone voted for Trump.
I felt like Obama was an embarrassment and a stain and the worst President I had seen (like they supposedly feel about Trump) I sucked it up-buttercup and didn't go on antidepressants and melt over it.

Excellent point. I'm sure that the deceased wouldn't have wanted her family to increase their carbon footprint by attending the funeral.

People like your wife's aunt and her kids are no different than cult members. Progressive politics and the SJW movement are a cult, where differences of opinion are akin to apostasy, which require one to be cut off and shamed. It's hilarious to listen to libs deride Trump as a dictator when their own movement is the most authoritarian in this country.

None of what you stated above comes as a surprise to normal people who are in tune with today's political/social environment.
Again, being a former Proggie, I witnessed this phenomenon start about 15-20 years ago. When I was breaking away, I was telling this board what these people were really thinking and wanting. The Obama Presidency, combined with the media narratives, have emboldened these people to really come out and start telling the truth about what they are and what they want.
Rest easy knowing these people did you a favor. The sooner you can cut these mentally ill retards out of your gene pool, the better you will be. I can promise you, if they needed you for something, they would be there with their hands out tomorrow. If you helped, they would take your offerings, then stab you in the back again.
You should send them a Thank You card and be done with it.

Truth. There's definite peer pressure to practice the sacraments with visual signs of the fellowship. Hating the other side is one of those.

They ignore that the working class is awake and mighty pissed off.

You are exactly right. This type of political conflict where family is pitted against family has occurred in the U.S. or Europe for centuries. If you haven’t read a book called the 4th Turning, read it and you will understand. The authors were the first to coin the term Millennials. It’s just part of the cycle of history.

You should celebrate... Think about all the BS that would have been associated with them informing you... Flowers, funeral, cooking or buying a meal, spending hours with people whom you really don't like... Christmas has come early!

I have a relative who said anyone that voted for Trump is a goose steeping Nazi and aren't invited to their family holiday party.

TDS is a real thing. My ex FIL who is a retired LEO and retired in a second career of acedemia posts some crap on FB that my only comment on much of it is “come on your better than this”. I kid you not if it’s antiTrump no matter how brainless he posts it.
No critical thought at all. A eroded PhD and he won’t think. I don’t expect him to like Trump after all dude is a bit screwy (FIL not Trump) but he should at least do some sort of plausibility rest on some of the crap.

I agree it's petty but you guys voting for a nasty talking snake oil salesman is really hard to forgive.
