12 People Shared Their “Last Straw” Moments Before Cutting Off Their MAGA Family Members

12.

“For numerous reasons, I cut out my aunt and her offspring for doing and saying things that aligned with MAGA long before Trump came along. For instance, my uncle pressed me as to why I studied a foreign language to the point he became angry.”

“My mom’s last straw was a discussion about Trump and his administration’s policies and tactics. Even though my aunt and her family claim not to have voted for Trump, my aunt defended his deplorable actions. When my mom said, ‘His administration will detain, arrest, and deport people that are undocumented, legal residents, DACA, naturalized citizens, and/or US citizens, so long as we are Black, brown, or look Latino, we all risk being deported, since to them we are the other.’ My aunt’s cheerful response was, ‘Well, XYZ’s daughters have light colored hair and have a fair complexion, as well as my daughters, so that won’t happen to my daughters and granddaughters.’ Disgusted by my aunt’s remarks and ‘values,’ my mom asked me to block her on her phone, to which I happily complied.”
