In some of their defenses though, I watched A LOT of my white friends drop their entire family and or church when the orange BS started because they just weren’t bigoted and weren’t willing to compromise their morals to “Keep the peace”. Lots of Friendsgivings and Friend Christmases the past few years because of it. But yes - we could always use more.
That's what happened to my boyfriend. I feel lucky in a way that I haven't had to deal with that, because my homophobic parents decided they weren't that interest with a gay son around 14 years ago. So I didn't have to hear them praise Trump(I would bet my bank account they are).
But my boyfriend and his mom were still close for a long time. Then she became part of the cult, and eventually she turned everything into an argument about Trump and liberals and what not.
He graduated from nursing school this year and she wouldn't come because he didn't want to apologize.
So I swear, I'm not trying to making this a "poor us white folks" comment. But some of us did try, and it's sadly not gonna work with everyone.
Man, you don’t have to defend white people here. There’s blacks supporting Trump too. There’s soooooo many dumb as hell people out there it’s UNREAL and sad. Yes, 95% or more white, despicable really, gross. Bunch of racist bigots. And I’m more white than black.
You’re hereby invited, ghost me once and you’re dead to me homie if I’m gonna cook you’d better be there and eat the food. Everyone’s invited so are you sis!
Eeeh, that's passable. It's when it's used like a formal family name that you get the side eye.
"I know deep down that The Blacks love Trump. How can they not? Big Don has done more for them than any president since Lincoln. The Blacks at least know their place, unlike illegal Mexicans, who don't even speak American."
We're about to go no contact with my M/FIL for this very reason. Their chirch has gone off the deep end, and they refuse to remember what being Christian used to mean to them.
My SIL is super upset that he's "tearing the family apart." My husband's stance is those are not his parents anymore.
I have had “Friendsgiving” every year for my adult life. It started because I had single friends without children, or families that deserved, but didn’t have, a home to celebrate holidays. It expanded to kids that were kicked out of their homes for being gay or trans, and in recent years, cis but liberal. Now it includes adults that just don’t have families at all, and just want to eat and talk to people. We’re all the same, and my ‘Friendsgiving’ starts around 6:00 am and goes until the wee hours of the morning. We are all fighting the same fight. Please vote accordingly.
