I don't think a lot of commentary is even necessary.

Goodbye message I wrote to my right wing cousin
A little backstory. Normally I would just block and not say a word to any of my nutjob relatives I do not know well. Sadly this cousin I've known since I was a kid and we always chatted. So this was a little difficult to just block outright. I wanted her to know exactly why.
Dear, [Cousins name here].
Over the past few years, you've become one of the most hateful people I've ever known. Major reason I stopped following your posts on Facebook was all the anti democratic, pro Trump shit was becoming quite nauseating and unbearable to stomach. But I still somehow wanted to keep a connection with you despite that since we always been there for each other since our childhood. There was a time when we both made fun of, Trump. You hated the man because you saw him as a complete joke. But when you started to listen to him, you started to drink that orange kool-aid. You started to follow his words and began to post with every talking point he made. I slowly started to see the change in you from a moderate level headed Republican who I could agree with socially on some aspects, to a total hard right nutjob who hates absolutely everything that isn't considered "normal" to you. Including someone like me who is LGBTQ. When I first came out, I trusted you to come and chat with you because we've leaned on one another in dark times. But instead of supporting me, you began to chastise me and ridicule me. Asking why all of a sudden would I just be transgender? That there are only two genders and no other. I felt like you stabbed me in the back and I couldn't believe this is the same person who celebrated the courts decision to let gays legally get married across the country.
But after not a hard consideration or really decision, I appreciate it if you did not contact me again. For good. I removed you as a friend after you decided to attack me after voicing my opinion about the protection of transgender children in Texas. And not because you had to attack me with your talking points, you went for the jugular and said I was mentally ill and also a corrupted sinner. At that point, I have had it with your hatefulness. We are no longer family. I have family and friends here who support me no matter what because they care for my well being and happiness. You only care about your hate and fear of others that are not like you. I've tried to see from your perspective and all I see is red, ignorance, and hate. And I cannot be around that any longer. At this point. You no longer have any family left here. You alienated every one of us in some way.
I hope you and your son find happiness, and I would pray for you to whichever God there is that you would find yourself again. But I would be wasting my time. Goodbye [Cousins name]
What do y'all think? I feel this pretty much gives me total satisfaction to sever this relationship.

She's become a total aunt Lydia type of person and it makes me sick to think she has a kid. I do believe her husband ****ed her head up a lot too

3. You Definitely Get Your Point Across
The letter has a clear tone of finality to it. You don't need that negativity and hate in your life.

5. It's devastatingly honest!
It should get his attention! He probably never saw it coming if you were that close over the years. It will devastate him for years! I’m sorry it came to this for you.

10. It was more for me
I wanted to clean my plate of this shit for good. I doubt she will care honestly. But I needed to make it clear and loud that she ruined the only relationship she had left here. She turned all her other relatives against her when she labeled Democrats as nazi's. That flew one of my cousins off the rails at her since his wife is Jewish. That was a nasty fight in the comment section...

29. I hope she doesn't contact me
She might try to use of her other cousins or something to message me, and all they'll get is hostility if they do. Because I stated to never contact me again. And if she does, I will not be as polite this time.

Just standard DU...

Once again we have an intolerant DUmbass willing to cut contact with a family member over political reasons. As I've said before the only one who will benefit from this is the family member being cut off as they won't have to deal with the hate and intolerance of the one doing the cutting off and will be much better off for it.

DUmmy's cousin was thinking...

1. That must have been difficult to write
Nah. Not after witnessing Nance's 'open letter' format forever. Just hijack it, make-up a bunch of stuff, and try to use good grammar.

Yep, what good little DU-Proggie, after writing off a close relative, doesn't virtue-signal it on their favorite discussion site?!

I have a retired multi-millionaire brother who is as liberal as liberal gets. His kids are worse than he is.
That said, at family gatherings, politics is verboten. He did unfriend me on facebook because I'm pro-Trump and 2A, but that never comes up when the family gathers.

Yeah, given how badly he's messed up his life, the cousin may feel relieved at receiving his missive.

Oh my.
Isn't that the arrogant little shit that posted about getting s/h/its panties in a bunch because a relative's family deigned to have a RELIGIOUS funeral for the deceased relative?
(If it isn't, I'm not too ashamed for getting the pair confused for one another: all leftist scumbags look alike to me :cheersmate: )
-
Basically what the OP is saying is that the OP started ignoring his/her cousin and the cousin didn't care enough to ask about it, so the OP felt the need to send a message to make sure the cousin understood how he/she ran afoul of the OP.
I think that pretty much sums it up.

Because the "silent treatment" wasn't garnering enough attention for the leftist attention whore.

Your memory is correct, https://conservativecave.com/cave/index.php?topic=128306.0 . Based on the content of his rant, it was a family funeral, if not in the immediate family of the cousin he just cut out of his life. The two dots may be connected.

Unfortunately, with a DUmbass, it's always politics uber alles with family ties a distant last place.

I think a few recent :bouncy: -tales-of-woe suggest that some DU-folks' cut-off-your-relatives days had unanticipated consequences.

If I was the cousin, I would have stopped reading after the first sentence, deleted and blocked.
That is one ugly dude. :lmao:

I wish my lunatic sister would send me that letter! :-)

That letter was written for DU's benefit, not for the cousin, who likely doesn't exist, anyway.

We've learned over the past couple decades that 99% of the Bouncy tales are complete fiction. Fan fiction for worthless libs.

It's goodbye until the idiot is short on cash and starts begging his family to protect his knee caps from the loan sharks

If the cousin is real, she isn't, then she would be popping Champaign at the post.

Too bad the cousin's name probably isn't "cruel world."

Can you imagine that guy as a chick? LOL He's the one claiming he is transgender.
He's also the one back in the first days of covid who bragged about wearing a lanyard around his neck at work with a little card that said "Stay 6' Away From Me ... Or Else!!!"
He was going to beat up anyone that didn't respect some dumbass 6' rule. Who the hell would want to get closer than 1/4 mile to this dude?
I'm embarrassed he claims to be from Texas. At least he's way the hell up north. Probably close to 600 miles from me.

Is he the dude that delivers Frito-Lay and Slim Jim type products to gas station and convenience stores?

Yeah. He was bitching because he had to stock shelves. I can't remember what type of products, but it was something like you mentioned.

It might also have been sodas. He didn't get why a store would not want to close down the narrow aisles in which he was doing his thing. Evidently he didn't get Covid, since he would have given us an entertaining thread or three lamenting the knuckle-dragging unmasker or unvaxxed should-be-pariah who gave it to him.
