“My kids don’t want to hang out with me after I dismissed their opinions as a mental disorder and the party I voted for tries to control their bodies! Why must I suffer? I didn’t do anything to them directly! These kids today are so unfaaaair!”

What a jackass.

I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.

It might be because this guy voted for trump, and that would be justifiable, but it's more likely that it's because they have made MAGA their entire personality. Their twitter feed is just a non stop bullshit feed filled with retweets from the usual suspects, there's no self taken photos, no fun shitposts, nothing about hobbies or events they go to.... just transphobia, bullshit and even praise towards Matt Gaetz ffs. Who would want to spend a dinner with someone like that.

"I openly voted against the interests of my own children and also openly claim they have a mental disorder for their views."

Get fucked.

These people really are clueless. No appreciation at all for how their actions affect others. They get surprised when people stop putting themselves in harms way by simply not being around them.

Want your family back? Realize that what you think is some free speech populist revolution is just an excuse for a lot of people to be assholes and expect no consequences.

I let them vote how they wish

How wholesome

"I voted for the idea that women aren't people, now the women in my life don't like me."

Conservatives never learn anything. It’s part of why they’re conservative in the first place. They don’t grow, expand their minds, or learn from life. They hit a point where they harden and ruin relationships.

"Now I have been informed that all three children are boycotting thanksgiving".

Hmm, maybe it has something to do with shit talking them on twitter. Maybe, and this is just a guess, the family gatherings are not politics free zones but full of conspiracies and drama and more shit talking. Just a guess. But none of this is his fault, it's those damn brainwashed libruls who are spoiling his fun. Now how is he going to do his trump victory lap if his daughters stay away?

"I let them"

Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could've not let them had he chosen so.

So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

Conservatives seem to have this weird belief that if they tried something and failed, then everything should be as if they never tried at all. Like, "attempted murder" just isn't a thing in their eyes.

Maybe it's just how their fragile egos handle not winning everything always.

With lines like "[your political opinion] is a mental disorder", why is he surprised they aren't coming?

Your dinner, their choice

Well, golly gee, he "let" his independent, grown-ass adult offspring vote for the candidate of their own choosing. I can't imagine why they'd spurn him after such selfless and generous act.

Slightly off topic:

When my parents divorced, I was bummed out that I had to attend two thanksgiving dinners. The second was not turkey. We charred hot dogs over an open fire (lived in the midwest at the time) and made smores. It was pretty great.

This had nothing to do with the election. It's just a nice memory.

If I was told this by someone in private I would at least be sympathetic, but blasting your children in a public forum is like yelling in walmart. I just can’t view you as any semblance of a good person if you’re publically taking the “eternal victim” stance.

Like, the expected outcome for this rube is that an echo chamber shits on his kids. Gee I wonder why his kids don’t like him, must be mental illness.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder" These people are very telling how they treat people who they think legitimately have mental illness.

“Allowed”.

Think I found the “nice guy” underlying reasons.

Idk who needs to hear this but:

Your children don’t owe you self assurance, if they chose to cut contact with you fully then that’s their right.

Said the man who made his political opinion his whole twitter profile.

"I just supported taking away your rights. Why are you mad at meeeeee????"

Ah the classic:

"Your behaviour has harmed me, so I do not wish to see you anymore"

"No, wrong, it is YOUR behaviour in saying this that has harmed ME"

You know, I'm not sure I believe that "PDX Conservative" keeps all of his political beliefs to himself and didn't argue with his kids about their political beliefs. Given his tweet with over 200K views, it seems to me like Mr. conserve_p may be understating his willingness to loudly declare his political opinions to anyone who will listen including to his liberal children that he is publicly calling rude and childish.

Seems to me that the kids are almost certainly having thanksgiving, just not inviting their father.

It's simple - they hate others more than they love their kids.

what people keep missing is that some things, even though actions of a government, aren’t political.
e.g. trump’s a convicted rapist… it’s not politics to hate someone that is permissive of a rapist just because they think he’ll help your tax bracket (he won’t, and he fucked the economy last time too).
racism isn’t politics, destroying the environment isn’t politics… they’re moral imperatives….

Lol he said his kids have a mental disorder and expects them to keep talking to him.

This is so sad.

Those three women deserve a better dad.
