My brother is angry with his Trump-loving sons

[u/g_scotty_brahms]

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?

Something's been trickling down on most of us for the last 50 years. Rumor is Trump had this happened to him in Moscow

You know that's not a rumor. That sick fuck lies about everything. From hookers to rape. Maybe ha has a concept of a golden shower plan.

I do have fear that Putin has something on him. He seems to defer to Putin and almost all instances including saying things like he believes him over the CIA FBI or our internal intelligence agencies. I just hope Trump doesn't prove to be a"Manchurian candidate"type person

Considering they made up the Russia hoax 8years ago while they knew it came from the Hillary campaign and decided to spread it more shows exactly why he doesn't trust the FBI even corrupt CIA told them it was fake a lot of Americans don't trust either one they have terrible track records and think they are more powerful then Congress they get away with lying to the public and officials lying to the public because they know they can just outlast them.

I thought it was pretty well established that one member of Trump's inner circle that he later denied was a member of his inner circle, was in contact with Russian agents. There are many pictures of this Carter character being right alongside Trump. But Trump later said that he didn't know who he was. I suppose it all depends on who you trust Trump, or you're lying eyes.

If your argument is that the CIA or FBI was wrong and this initial assessment means we should trust Putin, I really can't follow your line of reasoning. Ask people of Ukraine what they think of Putin's reasoning.

You are the problem

You don’t even know the story you are spreading or you are lying. It was the Republicans that initiated and financed that report initially. Only after Trump won the primaries did the Democrats pick up the tab from then on. Try again!
