I lost most of my family to the cult yrs ago. My 1 ally, my sister, betrayed me & decided to "go along to get along." I have 1 right-leaning brother who doesn't vote that I still talk to. With my mom, I'm down to brief superficial texts. It's sad because before Trump, we never talked about politics.

crazycatlady4luv.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think most of us have already done that…

fairy-dogmother.bsky.social•5 days ago

I have already cut them all off! I have no room in my life for anybody who supports the hate and harm of the MAGA agenda!

marthaier.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't speak with any family members at all now. I feel mentally healthier this way. Our country is at stake and that is the most important thing to me. What good is anything if our country crumbles into something totally unrecognizable?

kalaninut.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cut ties with an old friend last week. She’s Spanish born but now a citizen, her English is still heavily accented. She didn’t vote. Culturally submissive to her husband.

Her Puerto Rican husband voted 4 Trump, Hurricane Maria destroyed his mother’s home, took years to recover b/c of Trump🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

thanatosredux.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm sorry - WHY THE HELL HAVE PEOPLE NOT ALREADY DONE THIS?

madwomanreading.bsky.social•5 days ago

I had to do this with my dad’s side of the family. Highly recommend.

josette1.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’m ready to break up. I think there are just to many irreconcilable differences between RED/BLUE.
We can have the Republican cut the blue States out… they can gerrymander the shit out of any district.
We can co parent Hawaii & Alaska.

lakrisal.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not of faith. And I cut those suckers out of my life in 2015 when he announced his run and started talking about Mexicans. Anyone with an ounce of decency would have recognized evil at that point.

delilahpraete.bsky.social•5 days ago

Done.

rumblerox.bsky.social•4 days ago

I already have …. Fuck trump all the way to hell….

clairemyfanwy.bsky.social•5 days ago

My first question in making these decisions is "does this obey God's commands?"
Taking these, how do I best love this/these person|s? Is walking away an act of love? My answer is in the Bible too. Yes, Jesus instructed us so (Matt10, Mark6:4-11).
In walking away I love & obey God, the first command.

Are they our enemies?

time2act.bsky.social•5 days ago

A revolution of ethics and love for others is required. Not all battles for right were non violent or easy!

This may be long and hard.. maybe even worse than the third grade! Seriously, get prepared to stand up for dignity of all and stopping corruption.

dmghouston.bsky.social•5 days ago

I severed ties with them in 2016. They called themselves Christians and it quickly became clear they were not.

graygirl66.bsky.social•4 days ago

Did that years ago.

ramblingwoods.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wow….and from a Pastor. It is simple for me. You know what he is and if you voted for him, you wanted to support that. And you’re gone for my life and have been. I’m lucky none of my family members are Trump supporters. That would’ve broken my heart.

musingsofacrone.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yep- I quit talking to my mother in November. When it was clear to me that her family was less of a priority than her lord and savior TFG. It sucked, but it was necessary.

flathdlake.bsky.social•4 days ago

Uncle just died. Evangelical. Before passing he told me he didn't care what happened cuz he was going to heaven.

musingsofacrone.bsky.social•4 days ago

vanessawhite.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’ve been doing that since 2015. Was told I’d regret if it they died. Nope. I have not. Not once. Good fucking riddance.

bronxboy79.bsky.social•5 days ago

After my older sister died, I cut off to my younger sister and her family. All worked for the government, cop, EMT and three in the armed forces, and all voted MAGA. LGBTQ children and I just can’t anymore.

sholtzma.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is hard, for you as a pastor, a shepherd to a flock, and as a good man. But we are approaching an inflection point in our history; if we do, cutting off contact is easy. Fighting and killing them, fighting a dictatorship, will be hard. We had better be ready for that time. Gird your loins.

gamewell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Little late to the party.

msshawnamarie.bsky.social•5 days ago

They make it easy to do so…..

mgm1833.bsky.social•5 days ago

Already done and not regretting it.

envy2024.bsky.social•5 days ago

Just do what you want to do. You have no idea what is good for anyone else.

ggab1129.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yup. Done

amyalexca.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep. Notably: Dem Party leadership really needs to cease its “RustBelt Everyman” outreach Obsession. The biggest Growth Market for Dems is Youths, Gays, Black people and other Ethnic populations. Easily available Census Bureau data shows this, yet Jim Carville et al keep touting the “RustBelt” crowd

People of morality don't use substack, which platforms, amplifies, monetizes, and profits from nazis. You cannot claim the moral high ground and be anti nazi and use it. There are other options.

nelsontherapycat.bsky.social•5 days ago

The infantile shame is strong in Trump’s universe. Deeply envious of anyone who can love and be loved by others, they seek to destroy them. I suspect the battle for the soul of America is between empty, scared, furious babies and better regulated babies with at least one good enough caregiver

psmikeyb.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah , that idea is so 2016. No doubt California should move on. Many others states should follow. The Magats can figure out how to live without our subsidies.

karlafortruth.bsky.social•5 days ago

You're a little late, but welcome to the club. Most of us arrived at this point long ago.

twitterrefugee63.bsky.social•5 days ago

Already there years ago. Don’t talk to my own sisters. They may as well be dead.

klyph10.bsky.social•5 days ago

I draw a distinction between his voters - some of whom checked the box next to his name despite personal reservations - and those who gleefully support his every xenophobic, authoritarian move. I can tolerate the former even if I believe they made a terrible decision. The latter get the axe.

flathdlake.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have done so already. I will not pretend friendship just to get along. I'd rather cut 'em all loose.

silverhairdontcare.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’ve already essentially cut ties. My aunt and cousin are hardcore trumpers. I never told them why, but I stopped reaching out. Once I left FB, there is zero contact.

flathdlake.bsky.social•4 days ago

All my extended family are Trumpers. They don't follow politics. Just Trump.

We have no contact.

ljevans.bsky.social•5 days ago

I already have.

rashaverak58.bsky.social•5 days ago

Sadly, we realized this and have done so.

rando911.bsky.social•5 days ago

Long done. Including my parents. I want no part of maga.

ruleoflawlessness.bsky.social•5 days ago

I did that 10 years ago. You're still talking to yours?

televisedanarchy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Going on 10 years now…

mkd55.bsky.social•5 days ago

I had to tell my son, the person I love the most in the world, that his support for trump and Vance was incomprehensible to me, and if/until he recognizes the evil of this administration, I can't be around him. His father influences him, but he's 25, and should know better. I'm utterly 💔.

rumblerox.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same here Melissa, I have three sons and two of them are trumpers. I don’t understand it. We have taught them right from wrong and yet they just swallow the kool-aid and make sloppy excuses for him at every opportunity….

mkd55.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm so sorry, it sucks. I struggled w it for a long time. Didn't talk about politics, but it ws the 🐘 in the room.The anger I feel every time yet another cruelty is imposed on vulnerable people, I cldn't just pretend anymore 4 family peace. I'm not sure if there's a way forward at this point. Sigh..

4vnlls46f.bsky.social•4 days ago

lauralee1019.bsky.social•5 days ago

Did that on the first go round.

moeshe.bsky.social•5 days ago

I just did tonight. I can no longer tolerate the bs spewing from my friend’s mouth. We are morally not the same and the Kool-Aid is much too potent. Done.

fridapolli.bsky.social•5 days ago

i’ve been thinking about this a lot recently so thank you for voicing this opinion. i’ve already done this by ghosting any acquaintance i know voted for him but i wonder whether something more active is in order

Welcome to the war. I published some examples of how to pushback on the gaslighting when disconnecting https://executingorder66.wordpress.com/2024/11/15/on-countering-the-pushback-and-gaslighting/

Wow this is quite the guidance. I read through it, found an instance I can use and so thank you.

dutchiesdevil54.bsky.social•4 days ago

Long time ago!

anotherrobin24.bsky.social•5 days ago

Breaking ties with MAGA Trumpsters is very refreshing. It might hurt a little to start but the end result is priceless.

anotherrobin24.bsky.social•5 days ago

I have family members that are FoKKKs Noise Hate enthusiasts. They have shunned me for over two decades. It's their loss at this point.

lynncrosby.bsky.social•5 days ago

Absolutely. Those who support this filth thereby support rape, kidnapping, torture, ruining lives, causing deaths, racism, pathological lying, narcissism, abuse, constant criminal behaviour and utter inhumanity. I would sever ties with someone who supported one of these things let alone all!

anniemluke.bsky.social•5 days ago

Agreed. After a discussion with my oldest, I’m even leery about attending any more protests because I don’t want to be affiliated with any maga white supremacists who are attending because they’ve been wronged but still support trump. Especially after the one in Indiana pulled out a rifle.

jasmine29.bsky.social•5 days ago

I did.

johndavidson105.bsky.social•5 days ago

Coming up on 7 years for me since talking to my folks. It sucks sometimes, yet I’ve made my peace with it.

"Block the MAGA, shut them down, don't share bullshit, from a clown. Show some courage, have some class, kick the MAGA, in the ass. Block the MAGA! Block the Klan! Block Neo-Nazis! "YES, WE CAN!"

lilmsmisanthrope.bsky.social•5 days ago

The moral reckoning has come. It's time to confront those who've enabled and emboldened the darkness, for in tolerating hate, we perpetuate it. The line must be drawn, and those who refuse to cross it must be left behind.

crabbyauntie.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’ve already cut ties with every Trump supporter. Done.

costanostra.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes Done

julia0328.bsky.social•5 days ago

I have already severed ties with several.

rickyleejr.bsky.social•5 days ago

Did that with my entire family including getting a divorce because my ex refused to hold his MAGA family accountable.

fishergirl66.bsky.social•4 days ago

Already have

accessoriesgirl.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s been 9 years standing alone while my family continues to worship the cult of trump. It’s tough standing alone without old connections but the price is too high to engage with people blinded by someone so vile and unchrist like.

libbyget.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hopefully you’re finding other community and connections, including here on this platform.
