People Are Sharing The “Last Straw” That Split Them And Their Trump-Supporting Families Apart

7.

“I am estranged from my father because he became a MAGA zombie, accusing me of all manner of sex crimes because I’m on the rainbow.”

“His behavior includes a pattern I’ve noticed in stories I’ve read and heard about other families rent asunder by MAGA: The Trump supporter says and does vile things (I won’t soil the English language or the Web by repeating some of the things my father said) and make themselves the victims when their family members, friends, or other people not only express umbrage, but prove them factually wrong. They are overgrown children who refuse to accept the consequences of their words and actions. 

As an example, before our split, my father would whine about the way people — especially Black people — reacted when he wore his MAGA hat and Trump T-shirt. ‘But I have freedom of expression,’ he’d whine. ‘And so do they,’ I’d remind him.”
