“My kids don’t want to hang out with me after I dismissed their opinions as a mental disorder and the party I voted for tries to control their bodies! Why must I suffer? I didn’t do anything to them directly! These kids today are so unfaaaair!”

What a jackass.

I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.

Shocking his three daughters don’t support a felon who publicly brags about sexually assaulting women and wanting to bang his daughter.

"I openly voted against the interests of my own children and also openly claim they have a mental disorder for their views."

Get fucked.

These people really are clueless. No appreciation at all for how their actions affect others. They get surprised when people stop putting themselves in harms way by simply not being around them.

Want your family back? Realize that what you think is some free speech populist revolution is just an excuse for a lot of people to be assholes and expect no consequences.

There’s clearly more to this story. The simple fact that his username is “Conservative” indicates that he is one of those people that make their political ideology a major part of their identity.

This man is probably an insufferable ass.

"I voted for the idea that women aren't people, now the women in my life don't like me."

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 119 points 1 month ago

Conservatives never learn anything. It’s part of why they’re conservative in the first place. They don’t grow, expand their minds, or learn from life. They hit a point where they harden and ruin relationships.

"I let them"

Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could've not let them had he chosen so.

So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

"Now I have been informed that all three children are boycotting thanksgiving".

Hmm, maybe it has something to do with shit talking them on twitter. Maybe, and this is just a guess, the family gatherings are not politics free zones but full of conspiracies and drama and more shit talking. Just a guess. But none of this is his fault, it's those damn brainwashed libruls who are spoiling his fun. Now how is he going to do his trump victory lap if his daughters stay away?

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 50 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure they're not boycotting thanksgiving and just boycotting him. They'll probably have the best thanksgiving together in years.

Conservatives seem to have this weird belief that if they tried something and failed, then everything should be as if they never tried at all. Like, "attempted murder" just isn't a thing in their eyes.

Maybe it's just how their fragile egos handle not winning everything always.

Like, "attempted murder" just isn't a thing in their eyes.

“You see, Birch, I'm presently incarcerated for a crime I didn’t even commit! ‘Attempted murder.’ Ha! Now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for attempted chemistry? Do they?!” - Sideshow Bob from the episode of The Simpsons where he literally becomes the Republican mayoral candidate after calling into a right wing talk radio show.

With lines like "[your political opinion] is a mental disorder", why is he surprised they aren't coming?

[-] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 95 points 1 month ago

Well, golly gee, he "let" his independent, grown-ass adult offspring vote for the candidate of their own choosing. I can't imagine why they'd spurn him after such selfless and generous act.

Slightly off topic:

When my parents divorced, I was bummed out that I had to attend two thanksgiving dinners. The second was not turkey. We charred hot dogs over an open fire (lived in the midwest at the time) and made smores. It was pretty great.

This had nothing to do with the election. It's just a nice memory.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder" These people are very telling how they treat people who they think legitimately have mental illness.

If I was told this by someone in private I would at least be sympathetic, but blasting your children in a public forum is like yelling in walmart. I just can’t view you as any semblance of a good person if you’re publically taking the “eternal victim” stance.

Like, the expected outcome for this rube is that an echo chamber shits on his kids. Gee I wonder why his kids don’t like him, must be mental illness.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 66 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The dad's comment strongly resembles a lot of posts that I've seen where people say that their kids won't talk to them anymore. They always leave out the most relevant information and act like some lesser thing is the actual problem. They may do it intentionally or unintentionally. It may be narcissism. It may be an inability to face reality. It may be that they always minimize their children.

But if you hear from the daughters, it will likely not simply be that he voted for Trump. We're missing out on entire lifetimes of context. There will be a lot of discussions leading up to that point. There will be a refusal to hear the children out. There will likely be a long history of emotional abuse.

And then, the last straw probably won't even be his vote for Trump, but some terrible behavior that he exhibited afterwards. These parents then go online and make up some story that lets them be the victim. You can't say for sure that this is the case, but nowhere in his post does he even try to acknowledge any specific things that his daughters said.

“Allowed”.

Think I found the “nice guy” underlying reasons.

"I let them vote how they wish"

Does he think not committing voter intimidation is some noteworthy deed?

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 77 points 1 month ago

Idk who needs to hear this but:

Your children don’t owe you self assurance, if they chose to cut contact with you fully then that’s their right.

Ah the classic:

[-] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

You know, I'm not sure I believe that "PDX Conservative" keeps all of his political beliefs to himself and didn't argue with his kids about their political beliefs. Given his tweet with over 200K views, it seems to me like Mr. conserve_p may be understating his willingness to loudly declare his political opinions to anyone who will listen including to his liberal children that he is publicly calling rude and childish.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 45 points 1 month ago

This is so sad.

Those three women deserve a better dad.

I hope the three girls organise their own thanksgiving dinner and invite their mom.

It's not necessarily about his vote, it's about what it presents. His enthusiasm shows not only is he okay with Trump and his associated behaviour, he's actively advocating for it.

And considering how Trump treats women, anyone who can look their own daughters in the eye and advocate for that POS doesn't deserve them in his life.

Visceral proof that conservatism is a legitimate mental disorder. Good on the kids, they’ll very likely have the outstanding thanksgiving they deserve.
