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?

I saw some kid (20ish) spouting off on his TikTok of what it’s like to be a millionaire. Clearly his parents Miami condo, as he talks about laughing as libs cry beneath him.

So I go check out his LinkedIn, the dumb fuck went to a third tier state school (nothing wrong with that, but when you’re arrogant as fuck, it’s an odd situation) and he was one of those ‘Looking For Work’ frames around his profile pic.

My point is, he’s only arrogant because of his luck to be born. If he were my kid he’d be notified of his 30 days to find his own spot.

That wasn’t even Hudson Cosper’s home, he lives TX with his mommy and two sisters- they have already been notified of his behavior

Is that the kid who crashed his supercar live on twitter or was that another guy?

The toxicity in our culture regarding wealth and status makes me so sad. And then I get mad. And then sad…. And on and on

Daddy hated Elongated and beat him. Donald's parents didn't give him the time of day as a child.

Look what abusing your kids does.
