How The Presidential Election Is Dividing American Families

Reuters: 'You are no longer my mother': How the election is dividing American families 

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - When lifelong Democrat Mayra Gomez told her 21-year-old son five months ago that she was voting for Donald Trump in Tuesday’s presidential election, he cut her out of his life. 

“He specifically told me, ‘You are no longer my mother, because you are voting for Trump’,” Gomez, 41, a personal care worker in Milwaukee, told Reuters. 

Their last conversation was so bitter that she is not sure they can reconcile, even if Trump loses his re-election bid. “The damage is done. In people’s minds, Trump is a monster. It’s sad. 

There are people not talking to me anymore, and I’m not sure that will change,” said Gomez, who is a fan of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants and handling of the economy. 

Gomez is not alone in thinking the bitter splits within families and among friends over Trump’s tumultuous presidency will be difficult, if not impossible, to repair, even after he leaves office - whenever that is.

We are talking of Biden voters here. Trump supporters are not affected of their Biden supporter families

Can confirm. Mental outrage and anger and killings almost exclusive on the left. Doesn't even compare

There's millions if videos on YouTube. Just search for leftist outrage commission. It's shocking and eye opening with what we're dealing with

Or look at Fred Lapides' temper tantrums, CAPSLOCK outrage, ad hominem attacks, name calling, distortion of truths, never getting it right and not learning from it.

These guys are scary. There's something wrong with them.

Some Biden supporters are sick any day or any year, why talk to them?

They vote for anyone with a (D) behind the name. Simpletons.

Yah don't have stimulating conversations with a simpleton.

For instance, a simpleton will call you a name such a "CHUDS" and the whine on other posts about all the name calling.

My dear mom is a committed activist Leftist. She’s also the most well intentioned person I know. Sometimes her best intentions lead to small scale disasters.

She has finally listened to me in my telling her not to go to to the current demonstrations. She has no business in those scrums.

But I love my mom and we have a close relationship.

For those of you, who drool and have the mental capacity of Joe Biden, CCP stands for Chinese Communist Party.

For Mark Kelly, Attending Forum Hosted by CCP Was the Beginning of Lucrative Relationship with China


It means that Mark Kelly and many, many other Democrats have sold us out for 30 pieces of silver.

Why put up with some stupid loathsome socialist chick that just graduated from an American college, when you can marry a real woman from the former communist bloc, who believes in family and knows that communism/socialism is shit?

There is a huge difference from someone, who has lived actual communism and some deluded fool, who has been taught be college professors that socialism is cool.

Family first. Common ground for the grounded. Anything else is betrayal. Turn your back on Family is grounds for banishment.
