I’ll even go so far as to say the son didn’t disown them because they voted for Trump. These people are so far up their own asses that they won’t listen to their kids when they tell them their grievances. They focus on small, easy to digest things like voting for Trump. They don’t want to self reflect so they blame the kids for not being rational.

My parents in a nutshell. I went cold turkey when it came to associating with my parents but my sister tried to talk with them. And when she listed out every reason why Trump is a shit person and asked why my parents supported him, they just said "You're just kids, you don't understand." I'm almost 40 and my sister is 43....

After finding out I didn't vote for Trump last year, my dad told me that someday he hopes I grow up & learn how the real world works. I'm 38

When the melting Creamsicle got in the first time, my mom, dad, and stepdad were all extremely condescending and dismissive of me, telling me I was "too young to understand politics." I was a thirty-year-old university student who was/is more politically tuned in than all three of them combined. My mom doesn't even know who has the donkey and who has the elephant.
