My parents care a lot about making life better for me, and making life worse for everyone else.

I feel bad for having accepted their help, for acting like everything is normal when it is not. But there's nothing I can do. If they want to vote for and support fascists, they have a legal right to do it.

The only thing I could possibly do is threaten to cut contact, but I do not have the heart for that.

That's a tricky one. I've found that even children who have been abused and mistreated still want their parents around. Whether or not they do when they're older is a different story but it's one of those instinctual relationships thats one of the most difficult ones to let go of. Idk about everyone else but I wouldn't expect anyone to cut ties off with their bigoted parents or close family members, as long as I was certain they challenged them and didn't enable it. It's not a matter of, oh you have this questionable person in your life, cut them out. It's more of a, what are you doing about it? You can't choose your family but you can choose how you show up.

Also, if I was ever dating someone like this I'd have firm boundaries. I would have no relationship with their parents. I can't take away a relationship with deep bonds but I don't have to tolerate shit either.

@HijabaDabbaDoo Sometimes I try to talk to them but they're kind of a lost cause. They don't recognize it either, which I guess is how most hateful people are. Completely brainwashed Republicans.
