She can’t understand why I support Trump. She said I’m not poor, stupid or a hillbilly and she didn’t raise me to be a racist. And she gets enraged when I try to explain my reasons to her and starts yelling or hangs up the phone. Hopefully we don’t have to discuss politics 🙏

"I'm a one issue voter when it comes to child sex trafficking"
That is the only answer ever needed. Well put.
That was me in the last 2 elections, only it was abortion.
Has there been any updates on James Alefantis recently?
🎤 drop
Why is it that, with liberals, it all comes back to ways to divide people?
What's wrong with poor people or hillbillies? They're all people God created, loves, and wants relationship with.
Lefties need to put others down to make themselves look better because they're super insecure.
I recently ghosted a bad “friend” for this exact reason.
Isn't that the driving force behind racism?
What's interesting is growing up my Dad was a Democrat and Mom was a Republican. They used to joke that they cancelled each other's vote out. We didn't really talk about politics in my home growing up. What I came away with as I went through my years in school, was that Dems were the poor, uneducated, and racist. Humm
I remember my one Asian co-worker joked when his family came to the US their relatives told them to just vote democrat because free stuff. lol But now he knows better and a patriot through and through.
That was one of the big reasons to give women the vote and then market feminism to them, so that they would cancel out their husband's vote. Also yeah every card carrying Democrat I've known was openly racist when only other white people were around.
Lived in a deep blue state most of my life. Liberals, specifically white liberals, are the most racist, exclusionary, condescending, and hypocritical people as a group you will ever find. And it's all quiet & hushed up. No one talks about it but to show they are open minded and accepting you get BLM & transfaggot flags in front of their churches, open borders support (because it won't ever affect their bubble >they believe<) and on & on. They aren't only insecure, they are fearful. They understand the power of the machine and how they would be crushed if they don't go along. They want to keep what they have so they parrot the narrative. Trump is a rapist, covid vaccine is safe & effective, Biden gaffs are taken out of context, etc. And they are easy to spot, they still wear masks!
Working class for the most part get along because they are in contact with alltypes, black, hispanic, asian, etc. They have to get along, they work together. White liberals however cluster in upper end jobs and their credentialism keeps it that way. The closest truly wealthy ones get to diversity is seeing someone mowing their lawn off in the distance. And by that they can think what a great person they are giving them an opportunity. But as you saw when DeSantis dumped them on Martha's Vineyard (super white liberal enclave) they got them the hell out at warp speed. We live in interesting times as this behavior becomes harder and harder to hide.

You're totally correct. My democrat relatives and family friends consider themselves upper middle class and always look down on anyone poorer than themselves. It's like a guilt or trendy thing or a type of snobbery for these people to vote dems and get multiple boosters and hate Trump. They also have lost all common sense and hate Christians on top of everything else. I guess being blindfolded made them buy the whole lefty package like a walking zombie and wear them with pride like they're part of the cool kids.
The ones that weren't born into a wealthy family (and pipelined into good schools/jobs) spent their formative years seething about not being a cool kid. So now, it's their turn to get even. This is their whole reason for being. And they love to go on about how "stupid" the right is.
I listen to many podcasts weekly, specifically leftist ones. There are only a few that clearly & coherently articulate their viewpoints on issues. The majority however spend most of the time on the low intelligence of drumpf supporters & the danger white supremacists & Nazis. Those are all slowly becoming synonymous BTW. Most of them do this, a giant bias confirmation loop.
It Can Happen Here is most amusing. Lisping & giggling faggots telling themselves how smart they are. No self-awareness and shows how far into their own world bubble they live. Look thru any of their playlists (by their I mean any liberal podcast) and rarely do you see mention of the economy, border, Ukraine fiasco, or Biden incompetence. Some do but those are rare. If they do they are likely ex-Bernie Bros or Jill Stein supporters. This shows for most of them how much their worldview is informed solely by the MSM.
/well done c.i.a.
This ^^^
Most liberals reject God. It’s all science to them. This is the hurdle to get past to awaken them. They do not understand this battle is good vs evil. Evil is mean tweets. Evil is not letting a woman get rid of her pregnancy. Etc etc
Actually, the liberals ignore the science as well. 🤦♀️
The more I studied science the more I started to believe that the entire Universe could not be purely random chance.
Amen brother. Love, light, beauty, many things, cannot be described accurately using the modern scientific paradiigm.
The first professional group of scientists I ever worked with were all highly spiritual. They had studied a lot and all come to the same conclusion- intelligent design, a creator had to exist because our chance was statistically impossible.
Same. The left don't cling to science, they cling to scientism.
It was purely a numbers game to me when I realized this isn't some random chance thing. I try to use this to try to bring others to God.
These "science" based people who say this all happened by random chance don't see how ridiculous the odds are that we are here, at this moment, with the exact degree tilted by the sun, spinning at this exact speed, the exact distance from the sun, etc.
We can talk about flat earth because now, I realize we've been lied to about just about everything.
But even the odds of biological processes happening is so tiny, this definitely WAS created by a creator. You can't just put a blob of chemicals together and wait millions of years, and boom, humans. That logic is so incredibly stupid and naive.
Things have to happen in such a precise way, temperature, atmosphere, chemical processes... There is no way.
This is all to try to get people away from God. After research and now knowing the truth, we've been ruled by an ancient Satanic elite for so long. And they only hate Christ. Why? I always wondered why libs and dems hate Christ.
Well, we all know the answer. It's because he is actually the truth and way. He is Satan's ultimate enemy. They hate him because he is God.
Scientism
Made a poor hillbilly smile fren.
I’m proud to be a hillbilly :-)
Isn't that basically racism?
Not to play devil's advocate, but both sides do this. The problem is, we are very far away from each other now. The gap is so much wider than it was 15 years ago, honestly even 10.
10 years ago I would sit and smoke weed with my raging liberal uncle. We talk big time shit too each other and not care.
Now we can hardly be in the same room.
And it is all by design.
The only thing that can close the gap is Jesus and believing in God. God does the rest as more people walk in truth.
According to the plan, that gap will close after declass habbens, resulting In wwg1... though right now who would dare imagine?
Biblical indeed
It would be nice to see that be the case, but I can't believe for a second it's only 4-6% lost forever
these people are still self hating lunatics
I'm going to say it: declass ain't going to matter to many of these people nor will crimes against children they will just keep burying their heads in the sand. Sadly it is only economic meltdown on a global scale that they cannot ignore that will snap many out of their stupor.
Liberals are the most racist people.
Every time
I mean isn't that being racist or at the very least class-ist to characterize all Trump voters that way?
Yes, it is called stereotyping - a prime element in racism or any form of bigotry.
Their ignorance would be laughable in them if not for the danger they present.
It's like the cow who told the other cows they're on their way to the slaughterhouse and nobody believed him. Then they mocked him and called him a conspiracy theorist.
It being wrong is exactly why the Democrat party is so obsessed with doing it and encouraging its voters to do it. Divided we are easier to conquer.
Why do I get the feeling that your mother is feeling badly about her past behavior?
Pro Tip: This is a good day to ignore that elephant in the room. Be a peacemaker, fren. God be with you.
Not sure why anyone would even think hitting the downvote was the correct course of action.
Appreciate your mothers (and fathers, if you have good ones), even if you hate their politics and they hate yours.
It's one day, people should absolutely be able to go one day without politicizing everything.
I like this take.
Have your mom explain this picture
https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/joe-dimaggio-victor-borge-anita-bryant-muhammad-ali-rosa-news-photo/165932911?adppopup=true
she can't
internal reeeing intensifies
She would say, "They were held at gun point to smile and pose with Trump, reeeeeEeEEEEeee!!!"
"Mom, I love you too much to even have this discussion today, but if you insist....which side is full of people who have walked away from loving family relationships over politics?"
Both. As evidence by multiple comments on this very post.
The Left walks away from family b/c of their political opinions.
Folks here get sick of the abuse they get from Leftist family members.
Its not the same thing.
Yeah right... Like our side is so kind to Biden-voting family members and friends. I have seen plenty of us ripping into their liberal family members for voting D.
That doesn't have anything to do with this.
Bitching to your friends about Leftist family is pretty limited here to:
how family is abusing them for their beliefs.
how family wouldn't listen to them about the vaXXX or Biden criminality.
No one here is blowing up family ties due to anger over their political beliefs.
Absurdity to the extreme. I've read dozens of posts from people who have cut off ties with their family solely because they vote Democrat.
Tons and tons of posts I've read on this site about ditching all manner of family. Spouses, parents, children, and myriad friendships. Especially around the holidays is when it comes out mostly. Xmas and Thanksgiving are especially rough.
There's a difference between tossing out people who haven't wronged you vs pulling the plug on relationships that have turned toxic and abusive. Even family has to be reminded that there are limits.
My mother was bipolar with early onset Alzheimer's which I didn't know at the time. We usually ended up in screaming matches. After I figured out what was going on I completely changed my reaction and it calmed things down. She was my only parent and worked two 8 hour job for 14 years to make ends meet. Kudos to mom for instilling in me work ethic and fair mindedness.
💔🙏
Did she have a change of heart? Did she wake up? Whatever, it's your mom, so I would suggest civility and love be your attitude.
Don’t discuss politics at all with her. It’s Mother’s Day, enjoy spending time with her. Mom’s don’t last forever, there will come a time when you no longer have the opportunity to have a nice dinner with her.
This is the approach I take with my brother. Blood is thicker than water, and I'll be damned if I'm going to lose my brother to the Dem's divisive politics.
He doesn't like the fact that Republicans have lied to him. That's a very reasonable opinion. He doesn't like people like McCain and Romney who claimed they would do things and then didn't do them. It's hard to argue with that. So, he switched allegiances. I tell him that Trump is very different from the GOPe. In fact, he's succeeded in taking over the party. No good. He doesn't like Trump because he's a "liar" and has a trashy personal life. My line with him on this is: Trump is a negotiator. He says lots of things. Watch what he does and judge the actions.
Ultimately, he's very proud and quite competitive. He'll never admit he was wrong. Ok fine. I can be an ass too. I love my brother more than I love political purity.
OP needs to just enjoy his time with mom. As you said, time is limited, and once they're gone, the last thing you want is regret.
Yep.. we can all be brainwashed to that state. But that's her own internal struggle. Just pray for her and ask God to forgive her for being lied to to that degree and love and cherish her as you would before the world became this terrible.
🤣👍🍷
Trump doesn't drink, so he wouldn't accept it. 😆
And yet he owns the winery...

My guess is that nearly 100% on this board are either degreed, professionals, and/or otherwise successful even in worldly terms.
99%
I wouldn't turn down a better paying job, though. 😁
Kidding aside, I've made some bad choices in life, and they bit me in the ass. I'm working lil by lil to undo the damage.
Any advice for a loser like me?
Being successful is all about attitude. A positive hardworking attitude goes a long way to bettering yourself. Ask yourself, Is what I'm doing now going to benefit me 5-10 years down the road?
Find a job where you get paid to do a hobby that you love.
kinda hard to be a twitch gaming streamer when you have man tits as opposed to DDs... =P
Hmm, I'm not sure on that. I've seen too many posts here with people talking about living paycheck to paycheck to believe that.
Not a very good guess.
He who makes hefty claims must bring the sauce. Make her state her reasoning out loud in hoping she hears how dumb it sounds. "Exactly how is DJT racist?"
This. Tell her YOU are ready to listen to her side of the story. What did Trump do or say that was racist. “He said all Mexicans are rapists!”
“Oh WOW, mom that is terrible! You are right! Let’s find that clip! I’m going to post it on Patriots.win as soon as we find that!”
(A Brazilian told me this about Bolsonaro.) He said “blah,blah,blah” . “OH! Let’s find that clip!”
I used this tactic recently with my mom. The circumstances were significantly different. But, it worked perfectly!! And, it opened the door to many new worthwhile conversations between us. Now, I better call her and tell her I love her before the day gets away from me.
I get....he refused them to live in his housing in the 80s
He hates disabled people ....look at what he said about that reporter and how he made fun of his face
He is a pedo.. look how he talked abiut his own daughter and epstein
Look at how many women credibly accused him of rape.. he cheated on his wife.. muh pussy tape
He cheated contracters in new york by not paying them for their materials and labor
Orange man bad
Blegh.
Defending him to my mom goes in and out one ear.
If the mom has high blood pressure or heart condition, I'd suggest just let it go though. It's Satan who wants us all divided and fighting w/ each other. Sometimes the child has to give in and just pray quietly his mom will come to see the truth on her own accord.
My daughter always brings up the Central Park Five fror her "Trump is racist" claim. Thanks Netflix.
What was that about, if you don't mind? Didn't find much on search.
Trump called for the death penalty for a group of black and Latino kids who were wrongly accused of a rape in Central Park. He took out a whole-page ad about it. They kids were later found to have been coerced into confessing and Trump never apologized (Trump never apologizes).
https://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/23/nyregion/trump-draws-criticism-for-ad-he-ran-after-jogger-attack.html
They were not wrongly accused. They were guilty.
A different person altogether confessed years later that he did it and their convictions were expunged.
Yes, a guy already serving multiple life sentences confessed. It does not change the physical or witness testimony that actually convicted them. Please look more into this case, I am afraid you have fallen victim to the Innocence Project's propaganda.
Say to her "Did you raise me to hate my own family? Did you raise me to yell at my own family? Did you raise me to abandon my family in the holidays?"
Don’t start an argument with your mom on Mother’s Day, even if you’re right you’ll regret it.
Hallmark Holidaze. 1/365 . Love your mother the same every day. I’m tired of playing the HH game. “Pack yours bags, kids, we’re going on a guilt trip!”
"She said I’m not poor, stupid or a hillbilly and she didn’t raise me to be a racist." then tell her she should stop believing the lies on the TV when you're the evidence they're lying.
Where did those poor rednecks get all those expensive boats for those massive boat parades? Oh right, they'll claim those never happened or they are literally ignorant of them.
My mother loved to do that, bring up something about covid, and then not let me respond with a relevant fact. Maddening. She's now dying from turbo lung cancer. Not much satisfaction in that.
So sorry about your mother’s cancer and failing health. Hopefully she can be peaceful with you and transition well by finding God. There are different natural health remedies that can help with cancer, though I am unsure she would be open to that kind of treatment. You could even give her applesauce mixed with fenbendazole paste and see if she improves. Anyway, best wishes for health and peace for you and your mom. God is the ultimate healer, and I hope she can find comfort in her Creator. God bless you all. I’ll keep you in our prayers. -P.M.17
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, Panda.
💔🙏
Please go have dinner with your mother and do your best to keep politics out of it. Don't lose any more time with her than you already have. I lost my mother when I was 15, and I would give anything to have just another hour with her.
Please don't listen to the people trying to get you to confront her or demand she apologize or whatever.
Just enjoy the day with her. Try to remember what you used to discuss with her before politics took over everyone's lives. I'm sure you're an interesting person that can come up with something non-political to talk about.
Good luck.
This. Some people don't even have the luxury to complain about their parents and wish they had parents.
Just have a nice dinner and love and cherish mom as you always had since you were a kid. Just forget about politics and all that crap. Time is precious and short.
And if she brings up politics, just smile and listen quietly and keep your mouth filled with food. Kiss and hug her, let her feel your warmth and sincere love and gratitude for bringing you into this world. Hey, she did something right by giving birth to a patriot =)
people in jail will tell you, never ever make your mother mad at you. She is likely the only person alive that will put money on your commissary tab.
Just tell her that you understand why she supports the current situation. I mean, you can't argue with success. Trump's been gone for over two years and look at what's happened:
Prices for food, gas and housing are coming down.
More new jobs becoming available.
More small businesses opening up.
Banks are stable and paying good interest rates on savings accounts.
Crime is way down. Streets and neighborhoods are safer.
Best of all, peace is breaking out all over the world and we don't live with the threat of nuclear war like we used to.
She'll agree with this, right?
Lol good one ! However those say that there’s a lot of jobs available but that’s because half the people are dead or injured from the backs that he shoved on them!
She is making judgements based on what she perceives to be people's intellect, socioeconomic status, and heritage. That's quite hateful for someone from the tolerant left. I'm sorry you have to deal with her misguided prejudices.
If the conversation does veer into Trump territory, ask her to provide concrete examples of how Trump is so bad. She will not be able to, of course. And she'll probably run screaming for the hills to boot. That's fine. Just keep calmly and respectfully repeating your request for tangible proof every time you speak with her.
As the flowing water smooths the stone, perhaps your consistent queries will help wear away some of her layers of programming.
Good Luck man! Spent the day with my daughters and my mom yesterday. My oldest is a libtard quad vaxxed Biden supporter. I played it cool most of the day and we only had one incident. I picked up a Let’s go Brandon hat in a store and she lost her shit. I was amused but merely stated to her that the incident the led up to the saying was a real event on national TV. I guess I need to show her…..not!
Don't talk politics. If she tries, let her say what she has to say, listen respectfully and change the subject. Talk about good times and hopefully you both enjoy your dinner. Good luck Fren🍻
You’re a better person then me . I’m a Jesus loving Christian , So I don’t hold unforgiveness or resentment against anyone, which has made me a calm peaceful happy person , but at the same time , I’m at a place in my life where I don’t care if you’re my mother, brother, sister or neighbor I can’t be around anyone toxic like that! Staying away enables me to keep my peaceful life ! I mean theres a big difference between someone who says “ I’m not a trump fan or I’m a democrat “ then someone who makes statements like your mom . Continue to pray for that demonic stronghold to be broken over her life . You’re a kind and loving son/ daughter ? Therefore I pray for freedom over her mind so you can have the relationship you deserve !
I am in the same place as you, fren. My mother's disparate treatment of myself, my siblings and the grandchildren was enough for me to cut her out of my life over a decade ago. My sister and her husband cut US out their lives three years ago because we refused to get the shots. I try my best to get along with everyone...and pray daily to make the right decisions...but I'm done enabling and accepting toxic behavior in my life.
GOOD for YOU ! I’m done trying to get people to understand this simple truth ,, it doesn’t matter that she’s your mother , “would you accept or put up with this toxic and unhealthy treatment If she wasn’t your mum ?” Not talking about harboring resentment. We must forgive and pursue health for our own sake . You chose freedom and because of this decision you are able to heal , proud to know another survivor ,, im with you Fren !
TY for those kind and encouraging words. I do pray for forgiveness...and pray for increasing empathy TO forgive...but some folks, including close relatives aren't willing to meet me even part of the way. No more.
I wish we lived close , kindred spirits ! Stay away from those who harm your heart and mind , regardless of who they are . You’ll never find complete peace and happiness if you don’t . Do not under any circumstances feel quilty , it is them who are the abusers and you must have the wherewithal to stay away ! Keep me close ;)
You are a lot stronger than myself. Anyone who trusts Biden around me I avoid them period.
The brainwashing is effective.
Why would you even want her to have dinner. You know she is going to bring up the politics to start the fight. You understand that right.
I guess I get it she is your mom and you love her regardless but I have a brother just like that. I know better than to bring up politics but he always brings it up than hangs up if I say anything at all.
Hang up first. "Sorry, I don't discuss politics with you." Click He'll get the message pretty quickly.
What moron downvoted your comment ! Hopefully they read this and let me know!
The only way I can talk on the phone or visit my mom is to not talk about politics. Otherwise the conversation becomes a meltdown.
So we've made an agreement we can't talk about politics anymore.
I once asked her why she didn't like Trump. She said because he cheated on his wife, lol.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!!! 😺
What a fucking moron….no disrespect
...in the shower with his underage daughter? Oh sorry that was briben.
Progress, 614
1 MD and 1 PhD out of 25 are leftists in our family. The rest of us= lawyers, business owners, run ships, MBAs, and retired business owners are all Conservatives.
something tells me she is gonna tell you she now supports Trump. Check back in with us will ya?
Dont you explain. Challenge her for examples of anything she claims Trump is or does. Momma needs to being the sauce like everyone else. But hopefully she will be a bigger person than to make waves. God willing.
Love is the answer. Happy mother's day, and good luck!
(I find the price of gas is an easy out, if it comes to that.)

I'm sorry to tell you this but your mother is a bigot. Portraying hillbillies as poor, stupid and racist was part of a century of propaganda painting southerners as uneducated, ignorant, stupid and racist. That she believes this shows she's not only bigoted but uneducated and stupid. The fact that she turned her back on her own child over covid shows she's also cruel. I am truly sorry. None of us gets to pick our blood relatives.
I cut off all political talk with my old man. He could never back up anything with actual facts. And would send me news articles that didn’t back up his point. It was a waste of my time.
But thanks for the reminder. I have to give him a call. It’s been a while
Yeah those are my favorite. “I read the article but it seems to be an opinion piece. They didn’t provide any sources that I can verify.”
