What are they saying?

They're saying if you have family who voted Democrat then they are not your family. If Democrat-voting family members find out their views they may doxx you and contact your employer and try to get you fired. They said they have set up their own Thanksgiving group because they are your new family now.

A bit much

My mom lied to me and said she voted for Evan McMullin

Seems like a really weird thing to lie about

Where’s the lie?

@ThisIsChris

I'm sure for some people that's pretty close to reality

This is the reality for many people

My dad's gf, who's known my brother and I since we were 3 and 6 respectively, said she was "really scared right now" when we explained our views and desire to live amongst our own kind last year. Thankfully she is a boomer incapable of dox and hasn't a malicious bone in her body.

Insane. @missliterallywho

She moved to Alabama from CA and canvassed for Dems in the midterms this year.

Great

@ophiuchus my apologies

She treats me how I imagine a fundy christian might treat a "witch". Avoids me like I'm gonna cast a racist spell on her.

@DairyMaxx perfect description lol

@⚡Clark⚡ that kind of talk seems intended to alienate their listeners from their families and to radicalize them

I don’t think that’s the intention @ThisIsChris

Shock jocks

If she’s “that way” what on earth possessed her to move from California to Alabama

This politically dissident radio show seems like its trying to radicalize its listeners 🤔

This place doesn’t exactly have a storied liberal tradition

Yeah that sounds a bit extreme, but it may very well be the case for others.

@William Russell the inverse is also true

I think my older sister would dox and estrange me if she thought she could get away with it without my dad and younger sister making her pay (in family capital)

@⚡Clark⚡ yeah it's hard for me to believe it's intentional, but if it were intentional that's exactly what you would say

@ophiuchus Her son is in the Army stationed nearby. She moved to care for his son who has a rare musculoskeletal disease. She's one of the kindest people I've ever known, but verrry lefty because of it.

If my dad passes... :(

Still not even sure if they know what they sound like

It does come off as extreme

@missliterallywho I see. Can’t be helped I guess.

Yeah, it does sound over the top.

context important. Mike lost his marriage. Just hide your power level around shitlib family.

Of course, I’m the only one in my family who voted at all so.

Luckily my family is naturally right wing and while not necessarily approving of my position, the most they’ll do Is apologize for me

Why would these political extremists who've sacrificed all their social capital want to radicalize their listeners 🤔
Maybe they don't realize how extreme they sound 🤔

My family has no idea I do this

I’m still working on them very slowly.
