In reply to the discussion: Cutting ties with your republican friends and family [View all]NameAlreadyTaken
(2,302 posts)48. Republican voters are deadly toxic poison.
The Republican voters are the ones responsible for this mess, starting with Reagan voters in 1980.
There is no such thing as a "good person who happened to vote for Trump." If they voted for Trump, they are evil, period. And toxic to anyone around them.
Cut off all contact with these people, even if they are immediate family or longtime friends. Don't explain why. Just block all channels of communication, lock that door and throw away the key.
You will find that your life improves without those toxic people in it. If you continue to allow them even one inch into your life, they will continue to poison you through that inch.
No communication whatsoever.

There's no going back from this election. They own their votes and the consequences.

I could articulate reasons not to cut them off, but I really don't care at this point.
