Ghosting the aunt is sane. But ghosting your mom because she ghosted you in response to you first ghosting her is fucking laughably unreasonable

Crazy how youre getting downvoted lol

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

Nah i wouldnt blame globalism if anything id blame on the human tendency to take the path of least resistance. Where convenience trumps all

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

Homelessness

you got no space in your freezer or you have no freezer?

You can always make space if you eliminate the unhealthy stuff and fill it with uncooked meat

Solution is to prep meals so when you get home, you heat it up and enjoy it even more than some shitty fast food place.

Call me basic but jasmine green tea is up there

Its basic selfishness that people seem to not grow out of. Even the poorer class act selfishly so there is no difference when they are rich.

So the richer you get the less you want to contribute to gov programs and what not. Its always the “why would i want to give money to a gov that doesnt know how to use it? Or why is it my problem to help people who are lazy?” They are seemingly reasonable arguments but actually are immature

It doesnt even require that much reading of such subjects. All it takes is to not be brainwashed by media and politicians.

Critical thought and self awareness is all it takes
