She proudly announces she’s a poorly educated profa bigot and wonders why no one likes her. You got what you deserved.

Can’t blame him.

Too fucking bad for her. She needs to be deprogrammed, and then he'll speak to her again.

Her family deserved better from her. She's not the victim. She, as well as millions of others, are the victimizers. It's self-growth for her to take some blame.

Somehow her son grew up wiser than she is. No 😭 given to the mother but kudos to the son!

Good for him stand up for justice stand up for right stand up for love stand up for the Lord

I have family members I don’t speak to for the same reason. Hard to believe we were raised in the same house!

Same here. I have zero tolerance for bigotry and traitors to our Constitution.

Same. Helped me have a talking point for stopping talking to some of them when Dump was first in office... Now I hear the same sh1t from Dump I heard from family members back then and it's a tad strange.

Same here, and its not even on the same level as someone with a drug or alcohol problem. They are supporting NAZIS $%#$%$% NAZIS, oh sure they refuse to accept that, but there is too much evidence of that even if they want to ignore it.

I have family members who are entrenched MAGA We only get together once a year on a holiday and the subjects permitted for conversation are NOT those disallowed in the workplace (politics, religion, sex). Sports, health of/deaths in family, bad non-partisan city management are permitted

Counting the number of family members I will speak to is far easier than counting the ones I won't. The ones that I like vs simply tolerate number in the single digits. But that is the beautiful thing about being an adult. We can choose who we surround ourselves with and give our energy to.

You can choose your friends but you can’t pick your family!

You may not be able to pick them, but you can certainly decide not to claim them....LOL!

I think we are tired of our parents generation in general. My mother and I are both decorated veterans and can't stand each other because she does the exact same things. The elaborate setups to claim to be a victim is gross. 😑

Fascist Lives Don’t Matter

Smart son.

I wouldn't speak to her either. In fact, my own mom is a full-blown member of the trump cult along with my stepdad and brother. As a consequence, they are no longer part of my life. Blood is not thick enough to overcome my intolerance for bigotry and one's support for fascism.

Oh well

I still struggle with the fact that ANY women voted for the pussy grabber, let alone how many.

Had to do the same to my mother recently. She lied for months saying she didn't vote MAGA, pretending like she was outraged at how things were going. She lets her men do the talking for her. Most of our family is of the idiot redneck MAGA trope sadly.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Lost your son, your country and your freedom. Congrats Magats

My short response to maga is that I'm not concerned about trump. I'm shocked that him saying he grabs women is OK with you. Don't you defend the women in your life from predators? He SAID he does this. His words. Then walk away. There's no maga comeback for that. Disrupt their delusion.

That requires logic and empathy neither of which they have. They would care if it happened to them or their loved ones, but they're absolutely incapable of expanding that to include anyone else. In fact, they like seeing others suffer.

I get what you're saying, and I don't disagree. I've had to consider that the firehose of lies from rw propaganda over the decades were specifically designed for this. When people are radicalized, often based on 'religious' views, they believe it bc they've been lied to.

That doesn't work as "it didn't happen to me", or "fake news" is their rhetoric they spew

It's the one item that they can (secretly) find and hear for themselves. Every person who leaves a cult describes a 'moment' when their illusion is pierced. When that happens, the rest seems to fall quickly like a house of cards. They may not leave right away, but it's a start.

Good for the son.

My dad’s widow is full on MAGA. My 3 siblings and I pretty much broke off with them during the first term. When my dad died last year, I was the only one to go to his funeral. His widow still doesn’t understand why.

Sounds like me and my family. Them: let’s leave politics out of this. Me: putting a zero character felon who thinks the constitution is optional is not politics.

I no longer speak to my 91 year old father. It's been since December, 2023, since we last spoke. He has tried to track me down at funerals and other occasions, but I avoid him. He has seen the last of me and I have seen the last of him. Luckily, my mom, who divorced that guy 50 years ago, is cool

Good for you and for your mom!

smart son

Cry me a river. Poor choices have consequences.

He's not the only child furious with having MAGAloonies as parents. I know of several cases amongst my neighbors where this same scenario is playing out.

The problem is that their interpretation of "politics" embraces intolerance and the government denying individual rights and freedoms. It's not two sides of the same coin, it's a coin and a pair of handcuffs.

💙💪🤗🙋‍♀️

They can never seem to admit they’re wrong. None of them can completely admit just how awful Trump has allowed them to be and how hideous things are.

You can set boundaries, and maybe they even work for a while, but no-contact with people who repeatedly hurt you is the only path to peace. If blood mattered as much as they claim then they wouldn't hurt you to begin with. Love is an action, and people who hurt you are not acting out of love.

Yet another Trump supporter who considers themselves a victim because people disagree with them.

Enjoy your cheap eggs, lady.

The son is my hero!!!

FAFO bitch!!!!

Reading some of her comments, I can see why he cut her off.

I've heard of other families and friends being cut off for the same reason..

That’s not the find out part. That’ll come when social services are cut, healthcare gets cut, prices rise, and wars get started.

Spoiler alert: It isn't her son who needs to come around.

I honestly have no sympathy for her. We all have our paths to choose. And, with each choice. Brings rewards and/or consequences. Either way, we must live with those choices. I knew what options and possibilities came with my decision to transition. And, I have accepted where my choice has taken me.

I haven't spoken to my mother in 3 years. Haven't had her at my house since she knowingly brought COVID into it during a child's birthday party. MAGA consumed and destroyed my mother. She is dead. All that is left is MAGA Cherrie. I hate Republicans

The best way forward for him is 'No Contact'.

Boo fucking hoo

I'm really unsure how I feel about this whole situation. I don't know whether I should go with : a)thoughts and prayers b)fuck around find out, or c)fuck your feelings

It's unfortunate that many of us are going to experience the Find Out.

I have a feeling disreputable nursing homes will see a spike in business in the coming years

I highly doubt she is losing any sleep over this.

Well good. He chose to walk away from a dumpster fire

When they are told over and over again and given data, facts, and statistics and they CHOOSE to believe strangers (newscasters, politicians, celebrities, social media) over their own family, yes, that's an issue and eye-opening.

There is no saving America. These people are gone forever. Even if somehow sanity prevails is the United States gonna send these people to reeducation camps like they did with the Nazis in Germany? Not likely.

The traffic is always one way, I wonder why? The young are better educated and informed than their MAGA parents, they see through fake Christianity, fascist nationalism, cruelty, greed. Splitting families regardless of the pain is better than being complicit in the destruction of American values.

I think if she's your Mom, you need to talk with her. You both need to just leave the politics out of the conversation.

And if you have any solutions on how to get family out of a cult, by all means the mental health medical community would love to hear from you about your solution.

Spoken like someone who’s never been subjected to bigoted family members trying to encroach on your constitutional rights.

She voted against her children’s futures AND their kids futures. He’s done with her.

I think if you’re a mom you should love your children more than your political beliefs. In addition it is the PARENT’S responsibility - not the child’s (regardless of age) - to be unconditionally loving, supportive and responsible for the relationship. Parents choose to have kids.

Anyone can have kids, not every one of those people are parents.

To paraphrase @tonygoldmark.bsky.social "Why do these people care of family leaves them? Trump is their family now"

I hope more people follow suit. You can't have a civil conversation with the majority of MAGA without them feeling personally attacked and offended. They start arguments about others being triggered, but mention the 2020 election or vaccines and watch the short fuse ignite.

I have absolutely cut friends and family members out of my life for voting for Trump. No regrets at all.

Nelson "HA HA" gif.

Question is, does she wear regular clothing or just the same red, white and blue star spangled apparel that all MAGA cultists do? If so, there’s help for her.

Correction: There’s ‘no’ help for her.

thanks for validating my observations. every shred of clothing these people wear has a flag on it. it’s kinda creepy tbh.

Clearly the mom and son had a failing relationship way before Trump…..Trump just tipped it into failed relationship

KUNT

bsky.app/profile/slap...

Because Maga isn’t just politics it speaks to who they are think about your family member your friend your coworker who actively has decided to support a rapist, a felon, a racist, Nazi sociopathic demented misogynistic unhinged illegitimate president who ordered a terrorist attack on America.

your site is an ad tracking nightmare

Big issue, other than the hate and racism, is the hypocrisy to which they are oblivious. My mother, who is all for mass deportations, said she’s worried that my son’s girlfriend will be picked up by ICE because she looks so Dominican. No problem with the program, until it hits close to home.

That’s how ppl deal with the mentally ill. They are in a cult. They have been brainwashed.

There are some in my life I haven’t been able to talk to either. People make choices.

Thoughts and prayers, biotch.

My MAGA sister told me her gay son didn’t call her husband on Father’s Day. Find out time.

Very few folks in my family hear from me now, either. FOTUS can do no wrong in their eyes. If he says X today, then says NOT X tomorrow, they find a way to justify it.

I’m not saying that you don’t engage with people who have different political beliefs but you don’t have to talk to people who are too far gone or fascists. Fuck em

Your son isn’t selfish and he doesn’t hate you. He’s ashamed of you. Your ignorance and racism embarass him. You’ve made yourself a joke and irrelevant, which is sooooo much worse than being hated. You’re like JD Vance. Nobody takes any notice of you.

A friend is someone who knows everything about you and likes you anyway. Except when it comes to politics. I have stopped talking to people based on their politics. I have no time for Trumpers or MAGA. I don't regret what I did.

Whether the country should erect a statue of George Washington mooning people is just politics. Totally inconsequential. Whether migrants should be held in prison without due process and being shipped gods knows where is about human rights and what being a part of a society means to them 💜

We need to stop this. The only way is with our votes. Time to show them how democracy works.

This isn't really about politics though. This is about those political beliefs advertising who they are as people, and you believing them. It's a deep ideological misalignment. Please don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking that its "just politics" or it's something to "agree to disagree" about.

It is about morality and ethics. But it is applied to politicians who can alter our lives. So it is politics from where I stand. I respect your point of view.

But Hill's motive for her post appears to have nothing to do with reconciliation with her son. Her "poor me" post got her the MAGA attention she desperately craves, jumping her follower count to over 30,000, an accomplishment she later celebrated in a post on X. seems her son made the right choice

She would still choose Dump over her family.

I have cut off every maga person in my family. Why in the world would I keep people around that think my love is a sin?

Aren’t these the people who just love consequences?

I refuse to speak to my mother for the same reason. In my last birthday card, she wrote a few maga sayings in black sharpie. Bleh. 🤮

Because he is disappointed with your abject hatred and lack of morals. He sees you for not who he thought you were, but for who you are...

She's kinda gross,.

Nothing human voted for the Rapist. That's why humans go No Contact.

Smart son!

What a surprise that divisive politics divides people.

She earned it

It’s so gross…all of MAGA….shameful and gross.

I don’t talk to my brother who voted for him

They voted for us to disappear 🫥 because our presence offends them. I see no reason to acknowledge their existence.

Apparently she did something right.

You can’t fix racism. IMO that’s who they are and the real reason they voted for him. Cutting off family like that is fine. Hopefully they come around, but that’s a slim chance.

you know she's still chewing horse dewormer to kill a virus she doesn't believe existed

FAFO indeed...

Good for him—more people need to do the same.Trump is ruining our democracy—he should never had been able to run for president—guilty of insurrection!

No fcks left for the willfully ignorant.

Yet instead of reaching out & fixing things with her son, she posts on social media, goes viral & gets her notoriety in ‘clicks’ I think that tells everything. To her, her son is just another thing to be used. So typically MAGA!

Just like their dear leader, the usiest of users ever! lol

Well! Even from the article, a direct quote:- “Her "poor me" post got her the MAGA attention she desperately craves, jumping her follower count to over 30,000, an accomplishment she later celebrated in a post on X”

All strangers and bots that couldn’t care less about her. Meanwhile she loses family.

Precisely

Maple maga extended family here. I'm pretty sure if they try to critically reflect on their actions and the consequences of them, they may just 🤯 and leave a mess on the walls.

What she deserves.

Her son can come sit by me. 'Shannon' says you can't let this come between family; because of trump's policies, my VERY close friend for 11 years was taken at his ICE check-in, and is now in a detention center. His wife and I are both devastated- and WE ARE HIS FAMILY.

Pathetic lunatic.

This why they want segregation again. So their kids don't make friends with other cultures and have empathy for others or value other cultures.

SCrOTUS has just segregated the states from each other. There is no USA anymore. Nothing's united, except your government extorting money out of its citizens for its own wealth enrichment. You're all on your own!

She is apparently as stupid as she looks.

It is more than your vote for Trump. You are a dedicated cult member.

Another childhood abuse victim acting out some trauma reenactment publicly and humiliating herself and her entire family in the process. Jesus.

Nice outfit.

I didn’t realize there was a TGI Fridays version of the maga mom

I love this for her....

Good for him!!

Boo Hoo!😂

Can’t fix stupid

Someone tell her that's the LEAST of her worries under Rump's administration.

There is no vaccine for low IQ.🤓💩🤠

Tots and pears to Shannon.

And these jerks do the same thing. My brother hasn't spoken to me since 2015, because he found out what I was saying about Trump voters before I realized he was one. He skipped my daughter's wedding & that's when I decided there would never be any forgiveness.

Americans need to take a page from tribal communities. Family is who you serve and who serves you in respect and love. Blood ties are often worthless.

Clueless and they will remain that way. Unredeemable! And I hope, this time WE’LL REMEMBER and are not so eager to forgive and forget for the sake of reconciliation and moving on. Thats what got us here in the first place. We are to quick to want to move on, with no lessons learned!

She seems to have placed all of the responsibility on her son for "hurting the family" while remaining clueless about the damage she and her husband did by voting for Trump.

I agree with him completely. I cut off friends that I have had for over 40 years. I won’t put up with stupid, or anyone who voted for Felonious Chump to inflict this pain on the US.

Assuming any of this is real and she didn’t make up the whole thing to get reactions on social media (a BIG assumption given that we’re talking about a Trump supporter), I say it’s put up or shut up time. If Trump is more important to her than her son then she should move on and stop whining.

At least he's intelligent.

77 million? Did they though?

Sounds like a very intelligent son.

Oh I'm so sorry. No wait, I'm not

Trump and his criminality has also divided my family

Smart kid

Old people endorsing “might makes right” policies. How could that possibly backfire on them?🙄😆

Thoughts and prayers

"Hey Dad, would you continue a relationship with someone who demonstrated through their actions that they didn't care about anyone but themselves?" "Why do you ask, son?" "..." "Hello?"

I cut off friends who supported this loser and am only cordial to the ones I have to work with. They are all scum, bigots, racist assholes

Same here my brother and 2 sisters voted for Trump and that's it. I told them all to stay the fuck out of my life. I will never speak to any of them again.

I wouldn't speak to my mom either if I knew she voted for that criminal!

I quit my family back in '16. I shit you not. Our mother NEVER raised us to believe what MAGA says or to behave in such a horrid manner. It was easy to do. Life is too short.

I have members of my family that support Trump, and it breaks my heart. I have a hard time speaking to them because, in my opinion, they are supporting a nazi regime. They are family, I love them, but I have to keep my distance from them.

Sorry to hear that... And it's indeed hard...

I mean I wouldn’t either wake tf up

What an ungrateful son. Do you want to be my friend?

would ANYONE talk to someone so aggressively decked out as a rabid insane dog?

Being a member of a cult can lead to strained family relationships.

If anything it's proof that Maga is a cult given how many families have been broken apart by the orange turd.

For me, the real test is whether Trump could do something that would cause them to stop supporting him. For the majority of his supporters, the answer is no, demonstrating cultist devotion to their leader.

It wasn't because her vote because everyone should be entitled to vote! They quit talking because she became a crazy zealot cult member

I had to do the same thing with my own ridiculous Trumper parents

Her child has common sense.

My little brother shocked us kids when he voted for Fascism. Like the rest of he he swore an oath to the Constitution in the military. He is lost, you talk reality to him and he spits out Putin propagandra taling points that he doesn't even realize where it came from.

It's a serious divide. Is division what you want? MAGA supporters and liberals need to talk to each other. Being right is not the only good thing. Don't be stubborn.

It’s not a political difference, it’s an ethical one.

I believe in the depths of my soul that Trump is an extreme threat to American democracy and would not hesitate to eliminate any American opposition to his plans. If anyone believes otherwise-how can you possibly find "common ground" with them? "Compromises"? I can't. No one should That's the truth

Self made Purgatories are the worst kinds of Hell.

It’s not just politics, it’s about morals and basic human decency. Good on him.

Poor baby. Maybe stop being absolute fucking trash.

No matter how much I like a public figure I would never choose them over my own sons. These people are sick and demented.

I don't understand parasocial relationships. I mean, I get that some people can transfer an unmet need to a well known person and removes the possibility of overt rejection, but dude. Jon Bon Jovi is out there living his best life with no knowledge of my existence. My family knows I exist though...

I’m sure Jon Bon Jovi would love you if he did know you, though! :) I don’t know. I don’t get it either. The world is kind of a crazy place right now. Those of us who are sane should try and stick together! Bluesky is nice for that. 🦋

Why thank you! You seem perfectly lovely yourself! I try very hard not to be an asshole. I don't always succeed, but I do try very hard. The world has an overabundance of terrible people 💜

Oh my goodness! Just the other day I posted that too much of the internet is horrible people doing / saying horrible stuff! It’s been bad for my mental health. Thought Slime has a YouTube video called “Fascists Will Waste Your Time” so I try really hard not to let them!

youtu.be/tZzwO2B9b64?...

There is big fucking difference from my grandfather (raised by GPs) voting for Eisenhower or even Nixon and people voting for a MAGA agenda that was based mainly on hating marginalized groups and other fascist policy goals.

Anyone claiming not to know what MAGA stood for in 2024 is either lying or willfully ignorant. They essentially voted for Hitler. They should remain being ostracized and shunned for life. I have previously argued against doing this in hopes of bringing them back, but I have given up on that hope.

I have lost so many friends. I don’t even care anymore. But maggats are so stupid they think they are so superior. It’s incredibly frustrating!

I talked to my niece on the phone for hours a few times a year. Last time she did really well at not talking about things that would cause me to hang up on her. But now she is visiting from Florida. I don't want to see her. She leaves tomorrow, so I'm probably safe. I have so much anxiety about it

Smart lad.

Smart son.

His parents had it coming since they have effectively helped ruin his future. At least his reasoning skills work.

Sorry not sorry

A vote for Trump is a vote to end America. Hard to blame them.

Much like my magat family, they will accuse him of being brainwashed by liberals & the devil. It will never be their fault.

Zero sympathy.

Protests come in many forms. Good for this kid! It’s a teaching moment for his mom. You are sooo right George. FAFO!

I hope she is alone forever. Fuck these horrid people.

🍊🗑

Weird supporting a man who claims immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of the country, etc means some people don't want to talk to you as they think you are a bit racist...

Sadly, there are friends and family I have cut off. People say politics shouldn't get in the way, but this is such more than politics. It's good vs evil, and evil just doesn't get that.

Dude knows that he has to live with the consequences of the shit she made. I'd do the same.

Mal voluto un fu mai troppo

I have friends who are deep red MAGA. As a joke, the husband put his MAGA hat on his grandson, snapped a photo, and sent it to his very liberal son. The son lost it (understandably) husband refuses to apologize for the "joke." That was two months ago. They may never reconcile. #FAFO

What does she expect. She chose a hatred and a bully as her God over love a kindness.

Good for him. My cowardly ass just blatantly lies about fleas. This infestation has been lasting two months and counting.

Lmao you need read no further than her pronouns are: F/U. Anyone that blames her kid please raise your hand. This “blood is thicker than water” bullshit needs to stop. If your parents are despicable people feel free to cut them out of your life and walk away. Family is who you choose-not genetics

Amen to that! I cut my abusive mother off in 2015 because the final straw was being subjected to her MAGA bigotry. The only regret I have is I should have cut her off sooner like the family LPCs advised me to do when I sought professional help navigating her constant mistreatment.

Well to your credit you tried to hold out. You were ready to walk away when you were ready to and that’s a good thing. Earlier and you might have been plagued with doubt and gone back ❤️

You sound like my counselor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yeh but I’m free 😂

True! 😂 But my LPC is an absolute gem of a human and he helped me garner the strength I needed to make such a decision. I joke with him all the time that I didn’t have “Saved by an immigrant Muslim man who believes in arranged marriages” on my life bingo card, but here we are!

Help from the most unlikely of sources is kind of an added bonus really! I’m super glad you found the right person for that job. You aren’t the one who is broken-your Mom was and you saved YOURSELF. Most people don’t have Norman Rockwell families, you’re not alone by a long chalk.

"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." is the actual quote. The butchered version is a twisted meaning to instill obedience to a bloodline over experience. A fitting metaphor for Fascists.

I’ll take any chance I can to teach folks that the full quote is, “The Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” The original quote emphasizes that our chosen relationships are more significant than those we share through “familial” ties.

Also, isn’t it something like “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb”? I may be misquoting or getting it a little bit off.

It is but the original saying quoted is from German literature of the 17th Century and people don’t like all the flowery wording now. It’s acceptable shortened now to “blood is thicker than water “ to simplify it. Full disclosure I DID just have to google the origin 😂

Hey, that’s what google is for. 😛 I’m just frustrated that shortening it makes it easier for people to say “see? The only family you can have are your genetic relatives!”

Also -300 character limit so I can barely stuff in what I want to say as it is…the full quote needs its own post. The gist of it was my intent within the totality of my 300 character novelette lol

Yeh but-the kind of people using that as an excuse to stay in toxic relationships aren’t people you’re going to be able to educate about what the covenant of the womb quite actually means lmao.The minute you get all scholarly about it you’ve lost them anyway . These are Bible cherrypickers usually 🤷‍♀️

I’ll speak to my Darth family members but they know to stay off politics or else I call them out. But honestly, I avoid them since they drink the radical christian fascist media Kool-aid. Never imagined Jim would control our times too …

She blames him?!?!? Did she bother to look in the mirror? It's so telling that her marine son doesn't vote for trump. He's smarter than his family. I'm living the same life. However, I'm on the son's side!

Anyone else feel like she kinda deserves to be abandoned and alone?

Any German who estranged themselves from Nazi relatives was morally, legally, and psychologically correct.

Christ! It’s like a circular firing squad where the guns are loaded with Stupid Bullets.

In one of her posts, she blames her son for the break up of their family. From this, we can learn that she's believes she has no culpability. Bad things done to her are always someone else's fault.

If the woman resembling a leather handbag is to be believed, you are apparently supposed to write the government a blank check worth up to your life when you enlist, but after you serve two combat tours you better not take one damn benefit that they promised you or you “live off the government”?

wow... she proves herself to be another incredibly ignorant and unenlightened fool. so, yeah... a magat.
