Had kind of a similar conversation with my dad recently. "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Well they're cutting Medicaid, so we'll see how that goes for you."

‘I’m sorry you feel that way.’ He’s sorry you think people should have equal rights?

Your dad doesn’t have a political problem, he has a morality problem.

Even the non-apology "apology" is unacceptable!

I did call him out on that, for all the good it did.

It was actually about my job (I work for the federal government), but same issue. He, my mother, and my brother voted for something that directly impacts me.

There's a guy up thread saying I shouldn't take it personally, but how can I not? They're the ones making jokes about how hard I don't work.

Wow, a morality problem and an empathy problem, to their own kid no less. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that, and lessening contact (or cutting it) would be a perfectly understandable action.

Please remind us in four years what happens

If the Medicaid and social security things go through, it'll be much sooner than that. My brothers and I paid for a new hvac system for their house last year, which gives an idea of the financial issue they are likely to face.
