  1. That would be me…I broke off all contact to my Trumper relatives ages ago. They were mean and miserable before Trump, and he just gave them permission to be even more open about it. Thanks, but no thanks.

  2. I fully support her. If you’re maga, I do not want you in my life. Period

  3. I think this is very common. Who wants to spend time with pedophile defenders?

  4. Kudos to her for standing up for her morals. I have completely cut off communication to multiple family members due to them continuing to support Donald Trump. It’s no longer about political differences, it’s about morals.

  5. Smart woman. Why would you subject yourself to horrible people during a time of celebration? 

    And have to host them and cook for them? F that. 

  6. I can be around my Trumper family, but I refuse to talk politics no matter how hard they try to bait me into it. I just give one word answers like “Yeahhh” if I answer at all.

    They’ve pretty much stopped talking about politics around me so my approach seems to have worked.

  7. That’s the best way to do it, cut them out 

    They don’t deserve family 

  8. My son, my brother and best friend are conservatives

    Fortunately we’ve come to the agreement that our relationships are worth not speaking about politics

    When all the lies about Trump start flowing as “truth” it’s more than I can take

  9. She did the right thing who wants to have dinner with a bunch of pedo and racist Nazi lovers.

  12. I have family members that come up with the most crazy excuses for Trump. Some of them never finished high school and are on Govt assistance. They bitched about prices when Biden was in office but now higher prices are patriotic and war is good. Fox is the only news they watch and every other news channel is fake. It’s impossible to have a conversation with people in a cult. I still love them and just avoid any conversation about politics. I will admit I find myself avoiding them, especially around any election.

  14. Why is this news?

    A lot of people have missed holidays with their family because of everything.

    This is the second year in a row I refused to attend my family’s Thanksgiving, and more than likely won’t be the last.

  15. Fair, most civilized country’s political debates around the dinner table are about taxes and how to use them, not whether or not one gender at the table should have more rights than the other or whether or not we should be bombing apparently innocent boats or if we really should be supporting a guy who has SO MANY ties to history’s most famous underage sex trafficker…

  16. My family are Trumpers but I haven’t cut them off. They all know exactly how I feel and they are too scared to talk politics because I drive them into the ground with facts anytime they try.

  17. I feel sorry for all of you that don’t have a good enough relationship so you can get together with family & enjoy their company. Some of my family and I agree. Some disagree. You know what, we are adults & family & can have a discussion without having problems. But because you’re feelings might get hurt, you cut off family. Pathetic.

  19. Understandable. People who vote against everyone’s best interests over moral issues or racism can stay away from me.

  20. Surprised this is a news story. This is probably playing out in thousands of families right now, and probably went both ways last year as well.

  21. IMO Thanksgiving isn’t a real “holiday” Giving thanks to the Native Americans that saved those pilgrims lives by eventually killing them?

  22. I lost two of my oldest friends to trump. The thing my mind says just let it go these friends you thought would be there your whole life don’t let politics get in the way.

    But my body will not let me contact them.

  23. My sister’s thanksgiving was probably fine but I didn’t go because of another sister who is Trumper. I stayed home and had my own thing with my neighbors. It was lovely and no political discussion except maybe a “can you believe this shit” comment. Apparently there was no political discussion at my sister’s either but I can’t sit there avoiding topics to “keep the peace” sorry. I won’t sit down with fascists or their enablers.

  24. I’m not making an effort to see my Trump family either. They literally voted against my kids by voting for Trump.

  25. Why the hell should anyone? Playing patty cake with people that are putting out the most foul disturbed agenda versus the happiness of billions of people… nah. They can fuck themselves.

  26. I’m not surprised. Why would you want to spend a miserable time with people you no longer respect?

  27. Psychopaths. Ruining a family bc you disagree with politics? Politics is nothing. It’s staged Hollywood bullshit.

  30. Á wise man once said: “If it wasn’t for family, who would you hate.”

  31. Ah, the tolerant and enlightened left: “I didn’t get what I want, and you did, so now I’m never speaking to you again.” Tell me again who is whining? Never mind — you don’t have enough self-awareness to figure that out.

    I can only imagine the sigh of relief from your relatives who did not agree to follow you lock-step and vote like you, now that they don’t have your sourpuss face at the holidays.

    Whatever happened to talking about people’s vacations, school, kids, work, etc.? It is possible to sit down and break bread with people who do not agree with you, y’know. I have relatives and close friends who are devout Democrats — and guess what? I love them anyway, and enjoy being with them. We just don’t beat each other over the head over politics, because life is NOT politics. If you don’t like your relatives, that’s ok — but using politics as an excuse to avoid them is pretty limp.

  32. I get it, this goes above and beyond politics, maga doesn’t make sense. If you have a maga family that can still converse then great, but they don’t make sense in general, no logic nor common sense, worst of all, no morals.

    Trump is the most vile but they only clock on anything that seem good coming from him and dismiss all the bad like it doesn’t exist, that is my issue with maga, out of reality or completely ignorant.

    I’m so happy my whole family outside of the US can see the truth for what it is, he is not president material and certainly not sent by God.

  35. Last year after the election I refused to attend thanksgiving or Christmas at my wife’s son’s house. I drove 13 hours to Denver and back in a snow storm so she could spend thanksgiving with him and his wife. Come Christmas she arranged for the senior shuttle bus to take her there and back. She brought back gifts for me and I told her to return them.

    This year we had thanksgiving at our house because my sister came to town and my wife’s son and his wife weren’t invited. I’ll be driving my wife down to Denver on the 22nd for the holiday. Hopefully it’ll be 4 hours down, 4 hours back and no snow.

    My wife has forbidden me from discussing it with her kids and their wives, so I haven’t. My daughter in law cornered me when I drove my wife down for Easter to try and guilt me “for what I’m doing to the family”. I told her that I had a lot to say about the subject, but I’m not allowed to say it. I said bye and drove off.

    At thanksgiving last year my wife asked them why they voted for tRUMP and they said “for traditional Republican values”. If I had been there I would have asked if lying, cheating, stealing and sexually assaulting women (and allegedly children) are now traditional Republican values? If that’s the case those are your values too and I want nothing to do with you. But, alas I’m not allowed to express myself.

  36. Oh, is the money coming from the fictional tariff shelf. Trump is a pathological liar. Anyone believing this is gullible.

  37. Good for her. No one wants that toxic BS for the holidays. Plus, the kids are safer with them not around. 👍🏽

  39. Oh wow, her husband also supports Trump. It’s not just his family. There is such a moral and ethical divide between Trump supporters and Harris supporters; I don’t know how she can overlook that.

    If my husband supported Trump, it would be hard to respect him. It would be like I never knew him.
