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 🙏

"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.
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.
