Nothing better than a DU thread where they declare their hatred for not just Republican politicians but just about everyone else, with an emphasis on their family and long-term friends.

Americans are going to have to cut off their MAGA family and friends if they haven't already
There can no longer be “normal” relations with Trump voters.
No longer can we just look the other way. No longer can we just engage nicely with Trump voters by politely avoiding political discussions.
Elections have consequences and it’s time that the political Civil/Cold War that America is in takes another step.
I have cut off friends who I know voted for Trump. And now I’m moving to family members. They don’t get to enjoy my company ever again.

2. Good grief!! You're just now cutting ties???!!!
I did it in 2016 and have not regretted it. Their values do not align with mine. I don’t fight with them; I just don’t interact with them.
I live in a very red area and I do have to transact business with some people who support him. But I do that only if I can’t figure out another way around it.
Interesting that their deeply held beliefs end if there's a buck to be made.

49. I did it in 1980 when Reagam was elected
I told my father in law that I hope he dies...I never let my kids meet their grandparents because the grand parents were republicans. I did go to their funerals so I could dance on their graves and make sure they were dead
What a pleasant person.

35. Same here
Family, decades long friendships, all gone. If you support Trump and his evil agenda it tells me all I need to know about you.

11. As sad as it is
More needs to be done. If you are willing to be trained in safety and marksmanship, and you have highly secure areas in which to safely store them, arm yourselves. BUT ONLY if you are willing to be a responsible, trained firearms owner. If not, don’t even consider it.
The reality is, unless the unlikely action of Congressional Republicans standing up and stopping the fascists in their tracks, we are headed for terrible times. And Trump humpers, family or not will be encouraged to be violent.
It sucks to be where we are today, but the sadness doesn’t change the reality of the situation.
Is this one actually fantasizing about shooting his family?

52. even if they change I wouldn't talk with them
once you're a republican, once you're a MAGA, you're dead to me and I would just as soon see you actually dead. That goes for family and former friends
This one has to be a mole.

88. Wow ! I live in a small town where we all get along
Most of my friends are Dems but I’m friends with some Republican women too. When I was ill my 2 Republican women friends were the ones who brought me food. Most people just don’t pay as much attention to politics as we do on here.
Being angry and hating people makes for an unhealthy life.
Every time one of these types of threads pop up someone posts about how, when they were in need, the only people who helped them were either religious folks (who they hate) or Republican folks (who they also hate.)
And on and on they go spewing their bile, with only a few exceptions. They are such sad, broken people. I'd pity them if they weren't such hateful creatures.
