Sometimes it’s bigger than yourself. My mom really struggles with anxiety and losing relationships. If it weren’t for her, I don’t think I would talk to my MAGA grandparents anymore. I just can’t stand the hypocrisy and constant attempts to guilt-trip over religious bullshit I don’t believe in.
Uh, okay. Turns out she’s a person who has experienced a lot of trauma and doesn’t want to cut out her parents who are probably not going to live much longer.
Calling her complacent in all of MAGA because she’s trying to do her best to hold things together for her increasingly dementia-affected father and disabled mother while her brother is dying of cancer is, oh I don’t know… extreme, cruel, and heartless?
Perhaps everyone you know and everyone they know should cut contact with you for being such a hateful person.
Really didn’t expect them to fly off the handle like that. We’re doing okay, my mom just has a lot to deal with right now. We’ve all been uncomfortable around my grandparents for a while, even before MAGA. I’m not above cutting contact, I already did with my older sister. But my mom is different and she needs to keep a relationship with her parents for her own sake, so I gnash my teeth in private and vent to my wife and we all keep the peace.
My uncle is a different story. He is very much not MAGA, so his cancer diagnosis is just a really shitty cherry on top.

Coming from someone who has made the very difficult decision of cutting contact with his parents over this: Shut the fuck up
You need to calm down and shut the fuck up about my mother.
The person you are replying to has obviously never suffered a real loss, and probably needs to go touch grass.
I sympathize with you. Sounds like you and your family are doing the best they can given an extremely shitty hand dealt to you.
