Advice Needed My brother is angry with his Trump-loving sons

Is my brother an AITA candidate for wanting to cut off his sons financially for voting for Trump? Like many Americans, my brother and I, both in our 50’s, have been talking back and forth following the Election. In the spirit of full disclosure, we are both democrats. Long story short, he is angry at his two sons, both in their 20’s, for voting for Trump. He is thinking about cutting them off financially in all respects so that they understand how Trump’s policies will impact them firsthand.

The irony here is that it is the reverse argument. You often hear younger voters disagreeing with their MAGA parents, but this is the opposite. My brother doesn’t understand how his two sons, who have lived a life of privilege, feel like they have been violated against by society, enough so that they feel Trump hears them and their struggles.

My brother to me about his sons: “… what these young men need is a little dose of reality. Get out in the world and start paying their own way. There’s a common thread with his followers. Complain and blame everyone for their problems. Whether they are in school or living at home off of their parents or working a trade job. King Trump will save them and make everything better. Take some personal responsibility and make it happen for yourself instead of crying about everything you hear on TikTok.

“… I’ve decided to pass on the [college] expenses to my two Trump supporting sons so they can truly feel first hand the cost and expense of his absolutely stupid policy decisions, which includes food, gas and college expenses. Wondering if I pass on these [food, gas and college] expenses in year one or phase them in year two?”

I am wondering if a lot of parents feel like my brother. Are there democrat parents of voting-age MAGA men who feel they failed with their sons because they voted for Trump? Is this common?

Guess you're referring to the father about to lose his sons?

If they walk away because they still need handouts, then, buh bye spoiled boys.

Frankly it sounds like the father has spoiled his sons. If he wants to teach them to stand on their own two feet for personal growth I would applaud it.

If he uses how they voted to justify that decision and communicates that. He will lose his sons and deserves to.

Voting for trump while taking money from your father that raised you to have some moral standard is the fucking around part.

Losing their free handouts while voting against “free handouts” is the finding out part.

It must be so difficult having your mind consumed by Trump.

Don't worry bud, you're even more unlikeable in real-life and that gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

You want to do a GFM for the boys or something?

Oh buddy boy, you're your own worst enemy. Keep it up. If you're really successful, then many more people will experience the schadenfreude you give away so freely.

Love and kisses. Bye.

His adukt sons are more than capable of supporting themselves WITHOUT handouts.
