Conservative parent is sad his daughters aren't coming for thanksgiving after voting for Trump

“My kids don’t want to hang out with me after I dismissed their opinions as a mental disorder and the party I voted for tries to control their bodies! Why must I suffer? I didn’t do anything to them directly! These kids today are so unfaaaair!”

What a jackass.

I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.

"I openly voted against the interests of my own children and also openly claim they have a mental disorder for their views."

Get fucked.

These people really are clueless. No appreciation at all for how their actions affect others. They get surprised when people stop putting themselves in harms way by simply not being around them.

Want your family back? Realize that what you think is some free speech populist revolution is just an excuse for a lot of people to be assholes and expect no consequences.

I let them vote how they wish

How wholesome

There’s clearly more to this story. The simple fact that his username is “Conservative” indicates that he is one of those people that make their political ideology a major part of their identity.

This man is probably an insufferable ass.

"I voted for the idea that women aren't people, now the women in my life don't like me."

Conservatives never learn anything. It’s part of why they’re conservative in the first place. They don’t grow, expand their minds, or learn from life. They hit a point where they harden and ruin relationships.

"I let them"

Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could've not let them had he chosen so.

So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

"Now I have been informed that all three children are boycotting thanksgiving".

Hmm, maybe it has something to do with shit talking them on twitter. Maybe, and this is just a guess, the family gatherings are not politics free zones but full of conspiracies and drama and more shit talking. Just a guess. But none of this is his fault, it's those damn brainwashed libruls who are spoiling his fun. Now how is he going to do his trump victory lap if his daughters stay away?

Conservatives seem to have this weird belief that if they tried something and failed, then everything should be as if they never tried at all. Like, "attempted murder" just isn't a thing in their eyes.

Maybe it's just how their fragile egos handle not winning everything always.

With lines like "[your political opinion] is a mental disorder", why is he surprised they aren't coming?

Your dinner, their choice

Well, golly gee, he "let" his independent, grown-ass adult offspring vote for the candidate of their own choosing. I can't imagine why they'd spurn him after such selfless and generous act.

Slightly off topic:

When my parents divorced, I was bummed out that I had to attend two thanksgiving dinners. The second was not turkey. We charred hot dogs over an open fire (lived in the midwest at the time) and made smores. It was pretty great.

This had nothing to do with the election. It's just a nice memory.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder" These people are very telling how they treat people who they think legitimately have mental illness.

If I was told this by someone in private I would at least be sympathetic, but blasting your children in a public forum is like yelling in walmart. I just can’t view you as any semblance of a good person if you’re publically taking the “eternal victim” stance.

Like, the expected outcome for this rube is that an echo chamber shits on his kids. Gee I wonder why his kids don’t like him, must be mental illness.

“Allowed”.

Think I found the “nice guy” underlying reasons.

Idk who needs to hear this but:

Your children don’t owe you self assurance, if they chose to cut contact with you fully then that’s their right.

Said the man who made his political opinion his whole twitter profile.

"I just supported taking away your rights. Why are you mad at meeeeee????"

Ah the classic:

"Your behaviour has harmed me, so I do not wish to see you anymore"

"No, wrong, it is YOUR behaviour in saying this that has harmed ME"

You know, I'm not sure I believe that "PDX Conservative" keeps all of his political beliefs to himself and didn't argue with his kids about their political beliefs. Given his tweet with over 200K views, it seems to me like Mr. conserve_p may be understating his willingness to loudly declare his political opinions to anyone who will listen including to his liberal children that he is publicly calling rude and childish.

It's simple - they hate others more than they love their kids.

This is so sad.

Those three women deserve a better dad.

Lol he said his kids have a mental disorder and expects them to keep talking to him.

I hope the three girls organise their own thanksgiving dinner and invite their mom.

It's not necessarily about his vote, it's about what it presents. His enthusiasm shows not only is he okay with Trump and his associated behaviour, he's actively advocating for it.

And considering how Trump treats women, anyone who can look their own daughters in the eye and advocate for that POS doesn't deserve them in his life.

Boycotting Thanksgiving organizing an asshole free Thanksgiving

Ftfy

"Childish and rude".

Kinda reminds me of someone.

Interesting that he phrased it as liberalism.

Visceral proof that conservatism is a legitimate mental disorder. Good on the kids, they’ll very likely have the outstanding thanksgiving they deserve.

merely because they believe my one vote...

He thinks his vote doesn't contribute or something?

It isn't because he voted a certain way. It's because the person he supports and his followers make his daughters less safe. The person he supports is a rapist and by supporting him you tacitly condone rape. And the more people look the other way the more accepted it becomes. Your daughter's aren't in danger because of some migrants, your daughter's are in danger because weirdo men want to control their bodies to the point that they'll let your daughter's die to save a fetus. Whether or not you, the father, personally believe these things, you are empowering those that do. You are making the world a more scary and less safe place for your daughters.

Yeah, no wonder they don't want to associate with you. I wouldn't either

General Grant would not approve

The leopards, they hunger

Yeah sure the daughters fell for the propaganda

As much as I want to boycott my parents thanksgiving dinner, my dad is almost 80 and I only got so many days left to even hang out with him. Plus my mom is cool so I got that going for me.

It's misled, not mislead, you absolute potato brain.

Isn't that Grant from ACW? Not american, but how does that work with a union general and MAGA?

God I kind of wish my parents would vote for Trump so I could avoid Thanksgiving and take the days off to get other shit done.

If liberalism is a mental disorder than neoliberalism is a new mental disorder that is so bizarre it doesn't even have a definition yet.

If your children are going to disown you over who you voted for, then don't tell them who you voted for! Family harmony restored, simple as that!

But no, they need that persecution complex to solidify the false reality they've built in their minds.

womp womp

Doesn't sound sad to me 🤷‍♂️

I have to ask, are there conservatives in PDX?

FAFO

If more women had held men accountable for this shit over the last 8~ years he wouldn't have been reelected. Don't tolerate these POS'.

I think this story is fake. Its too perfect and his response is too sensible to be a real person. too much irony here to bear.

Pretty obvious that this guy is a stupid asshole, so makes sense. Congrats to his daughters for telling him to fuck himself. I had a parent who said incredibly stupid shit like the “liberalism is a mental disorder” line I would not talk to them either.

Sad that elections tear families apart. And that goes for all sides making discussions like this. The moment you stop dialogue you stop the change you want to make. Both pathetic and sad, I hope for a future of coexistance in American families.

I can understand beef between third party voters and Biden/Harris folks. For the life of me, I cannot understand the beef between Harris and Trump voters.

Their platforms were nearly identical. They’re both genocide supporters. And pretending Harris would’ve been better on reproductive rights has no basis in reality. Biden/Harris have refused every call for them to use federal workarounds to grant abortion access to those in red states, but we’re supposed to believe she would’ve suddenly done something about it after election?

At least the Trumpers are openly fascist maniacs. Dem voters are not being honest with themselves about what they’ve been supporting.

After reading my tweet, the turkey escaped from the oven. The whole animal kingdom is sick. It's sad.

His daughters are victims of powerful propaganda. It's sad but they'll get over it eventually.
