All of my extended family are American. I’ve lost all but my great-grandparents to Trump and MAGA, and that’s only because they’re old enough to remember World War 2. Everyone else has lost their fucking minds and either think Trump is the greatest thing to ever happen to the US, or don’t recognize just how bad things are going to get.
My mom told my grandparents that if they voted for Trump or if Trump won, we would never visit them in the States again until it gets its shit together because frankly the US is not a safe place to be right now. Guess who they chose over their own family?
Needless to say, I’ve gone no-contact with most of them. I am ashamed to be related to most of them. Thank fuck my mom didn’t turn out the same way and moved to Canada 25ish years ago. My dad, on the other hand, is definitely drinking the Conservative Kool-Aid and it’s hard to talk to him without politics being brought up.
