Summary

With Donald Trump’s 2024 election win, young Gen Z voters like Kate, Holly, and Rachel are grappling with deepening divides with their Trump-supporting parents.

For many, these conflicts go beyond policy disagreements, touching on core values and morality. Parents once focused on fiscal conservatism have, in some cases, embraced conspiracy theories, creating painful rifts.

Studies suggest political divisions are increasingly seen as moral judgments, fostering a “mega-identity” where political views signify personal decency.

For these young adults, maintaining family connections amidst such ideological fractures has become challenging.

    Write them off.

    And if they need care in later life, put them in the shittiest home you can find.

      While basically any cheap home is going to equate to torture and thus IS a good option (it ain’t gonna get BETTER under his admin), you’re not required to care for them when they get old like they are you when you’re young, you can just leave them to die slowly of whatever it is that’ll take them if you want, less headache and responsibility claiming on your part

      Why care for someone at all who went so far out of their way to destroy your future?

      Maybe you’re a saint, in which case, respect.
