    Good on you to backtrack and make amends with your mom. Its not right to demonize your family over politics unless they explicitly express sentiments that contradict your well being.

    Its not right that your aunt and mom gave that childish reaction but at the same time your actions were also childish. Point is, apologize as you did and have them apologize for their reaction. What they did was essentially return the same energy when they should have been the bigger person.

    On a side general note:

    Rather than focusing on who someone voted, focus on why they voted and go from there. Someone who votes for trump is not automatically a racist bigot etc. they could have voted for many other reasons. Dont fall into the obvious mind trap that every trump voter is a piece of shit. That just further divides society.

    Edit: didnt realize there was more. If your mom didnt give any excuse for why she didnt check up on you then theres not much to lose in ghosting her at this point.

    Its super self centered to act like the vote they chose had everything to do with their sexual orientation.

    I dont agree with the parents vote but im not gonna assume every negative reason is the same reason as to why they would vote for trump.

    Neither should OP, families need to understand one another and not devolve into a political shitshow. OP and everyone else is at fault for the drama




  • Even then, people tend to not even give a shit about local issues unless its something so obvious. People wont really give a shit about electing the right officials but will complain about their flammable water until someONE stands up to organize and rile up the politicians

    Given that, i believe its something worse than simple overload of issues.

    The issue is people are too distracted and living in their own world. Its not that they cant handle worrying about other issues its because people are living on autopilot
