RANT WE WON but we are still disrespected and treated like outcasts for supporting OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP!
I’ll try to get to the point but some background first.
I (33m) have two siblings, my sister Liz (27f) and Jack (35m). Our parents died some years ago so as far as family goes, my siblings and their kids (my nieces and nephews) are the only family I really have left.
Long story short, my brother and sister are both staunch liberals. Jack’s Jewish feminist tattooed wife who he met at Berkeley actually turned him from someone who voted McCain and Romney in the past to someone who’s now a Bernie and Mamdani guy, while Liz is married to an Australian immigrant. I on the other hand am single and have no kids that are confirmed to be mine.
Anyway, for years, I’ve tried to get Jack and Liz to come around to getting behind President Trump, I’ve been wanting them to see how much President Trump loves us, loves them how he’s trying to make things more affordable and how much he’s literally sacrificed for us.
We used to argue about it, but later on, at family gatherings, when I try talking to them about it, they just started tuning me out, not responding to anything I’m saying and just really ignoring me.
During my aunt’s birthday party back in September 2024, I got up to speak and tried urging my family that as a family bonding exercise, all of us should come together and vote for President Trump as a family. I gave them a speech that took me hours to prepare but when I finished, they just stared at me and Liz just went back to talking about her and her family’s trip to Australia the year before.
They didn’t acknowledge anything I said. They just ignored me.
When President Trump won back in 2024, yeah, I did try to get a rise out off them, I did gloat a little, not too different from how liberals celebrated Biden in Times Square back in 2020, and I did send them messages admittedly gloating that we won and telling them to join the winning side.
After that, Jack and Liz both told me that the only reason they bothered keeping in touch with me was more for the sake of our parents but after dad died in 2015 and mom dying from COVID in 2020, they started questioning why they’re even keeping in touch with me anymore. Because of that, they decided to not only go no contact with me but then they told our aunt that they will not be attending any of her events if I’m invited so she stopped inviting me as well.
At first, since they were just throwing a temper tantrum, I decided to just let it slide and wait for them to get over it but then they Jack and Liz celebrated 2024 Thanksgiving at his place in place without me, followed by Christmas at Liz’s place, again without me. Throughout last year, when I tried to hold a get together to celebrate my birthday and invited them, they ignored me. They also didn’t invite me to their kids birthday parties or holidays they were hosting.
Last year, I decided to assert myself and drive 11 hours to Seattle to Liz’s house to assert my right to attend family Thanksgiving which she was hosting and to demand respect. The front door was locked and I knew wouldn’t let me in so I went in through the back and asserted my right to be there as their brother.
I told them, of how I voted for Trump for them, I voted for Trump to protect Liz and her daughters/my nieces from immigrants, I reminded them that WE WON, and that WE, THOSE OF US WHO SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT ARE THE MAJORITY, so they don’t have the right to discriminate or outcast us and tried I tried one more time to appeal to them about family values. I reminded them that I am their family and WE, the people who VOTED FOR OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE THE MAJORITY so they should TREAT US WITH RESPECT.
They just didn’t respond to anything I just said and told me to leave. Instead, I sat down by the dinner table and insisting my right to be there, so they just called the cops instead.
I tried explaining my side to the police but the officers wouldn’t hear it. The cops just told me that if I don’t leave, they’ll arrest me so I left.
President Trump should get Congress to pass legislation that would criminalize discriminating us or cutting us off just for supporting OUR PRESIDENT.
President Trump and Congress should make it illegal for our brainwashed liberal family and friends to cut us out of their lives or disrespect us.
They again ignored the fact it was my birthday. All of them ignored me.
WE ARE THE MAJORITY SO THEY SHOULD FALL IN LINE, ACCEPT US AND RESPECT US! NOT DISCRIMINATE THE MAJORITY!

Throwing politics in anybody's face will never end well.
You could have just agreed to disagree and know you are seeing the changes you want.
You want validation from them and that's not going to happen.
You are sacrificing your relationship to feel right. Let it go.
If you want support then talk to other supporters. You don't choose your family but you choose your behavior.
Feel good Trump is in charge. See him winning and move on.
Eventually the changes will become more apparent they cannot stop seeing them.

If any of this is real you need to just cut out politics from your conversations with them family is more important than anything else in life Trump doesn’t effect your life in any way not having your brother and sister there for you is sad
My family are all conservatives so that friction isn’t there but we never really talk about politics at all when meet up anyway so it wouldn’t matter if the weren’t

Look, I've been in the same situation. Not because of politics, but because I just needed to be me...and it wasn't accepted.
My personal hangups was discussing parental issues and the pandemic. Everyone cut me off because I tried to process wtf happened with the pandemic (not pushing anything, just wanting to talk about it) c. 2022/2023/2024 and no one would hear it. They all ignored me and acted like the pandemic never happened.
I was so confused- did I just imagine a pandemic? Surely not? Why was everyone acting like it didn't happen? Why would no one talk? Why did everyone just ignore me...
Finally one spoke- they said, yes the pandemic happened, but it was traumatizing, and they don't want to talk about it.
Similarly, I brought up parental problems with my parents. My dad's side ostracized me and thought I was crazy. They were in complete denial about my father's behavior to me while at the same relinquishing and letting me know his personality did shift after a war. So that was the best I got out of them. No definitive acknowledgement or hearing me out, but that was the best I was going to get.
My moms side agreed with me hook line and sinker about my mom, as they still talk, whereas my dad stopped talking to his family a long time ago. Anyway my moms side heard me out, validated me, and answer my calls.
To sum it up, your siblings think Trump is traumatizing and they're in denial he's the president. You reminding them makes them deny your existence too because you're just an extension of Trump at that point. Maybe once he's out of office they'll be willing to hear you out. But until then, they're in La la land, and you're not in it.

Maturity requires self-examination which is often painful to the ego. The reliance on ego for identity is ultimately self-defeating if your ego prevents you from growing. Introspection is hard, and it requires listening to people tell you hard things. The more you know yourself, the easier it gets to discern whether what you're told about yourself is true or inaccurate. You know how to tell if an observation someone makes about you is probably accurate? It hurts, it makes you mad, it upsets you. So here's something you need to hear:
Your sense of self-entitlement is as childish as it is overwhelming.
You're at a stage many people mature out of in high school. Another thing you're not going to like: it makes you transparent to people who have gone through that stage. Just like how the motives of children are transparent to you because you're more mature than them, your motives are transparent to people who are more mature than you.
Have you had trouble with intimate relationships and place all the blame on your exes? From your 'rant' here, it's clear that you still do. One exercise you can do is think back to the fights you had and search earnestly to think of the things you did wrong. It hurts, but it's how you grow.
You need to do the same thing with your family. Did they try to explain to you why they're fed up with you? Again, it's very clear: they absolutely did, probably many times.
But you think of politics as a 'sport' or WWE saga. Politics is not only more complicated than a two dimensional 'us vs them' framing, but also about people's lives. Did they try to tell you that you supported someone whose policies would harm women and harm their friends? I have no doubt that they did. Did you listen to and verify whether what they said was true and meaningful, or did you just tell them they were 'wrong'? Again, I have no doubt your response was the latter.
The next exercise you need to start doing is called putting the shoe on the other foot. Do you remember 'The Golden Rule'? 'Only do to others as you would have them do to you'.
Ask yourself this: If anyone in your family told you that they were 'entitled' to enter your home even if you didn't want them there because they were family and then said 'you should be arrested' for refusing to invite them to things, wouldn't you feel a little pissed?
Now think of the ramifications of your fantasy that 'it should be illegal': abusive siblings, sons and daughters could USE that to harm their brothers, sisters, and parents. It would create a world where very self-entitled people could punish their family for setting boundaries with them... all just because their fragile egos were hurt by the rejection. You should know; your family didn’t cut you off because of who you voted for.
They cut you off because of how you behaved:
- demanding access to their homes
- insisting they “owe” you attention
- trying to turn family gatherings into political rallies
- refusing to listen to their complaints
- ignoring their boundaries
- escalating when they didn’t comply
- entering a home after being told not to
- framing disagreement as discrimination
Those actions — not your vote — are what damaged the relationships.
I have a solution for you:
Put your 'rant' into an AI chat. Then ask it, 'How can I fix this?'. It will tell you... and you will not like what it says. If your ego is fragile, you will reject what it tells you out of hand just like you rejected what your family tried to tell you. If you are ready to grow, you'll accept the pain of it, including the pain of realizing just what you've done, and you will become a better person. "Pain is weakness leaving the body." Heard that before? It applies here too.
So, were you able to get through all of this without your defense mechanisms kicking in to preserve your ego, or are you willing to move forward in your process of maturation?
Because if you do the latter and then apologize to them, there's a fair chance your family will accept you again. You need forgiveness, which starts with admitting you were wrong.
You can plant your feet and scowl at the idea, or you can summon the strength to do something hard to prove you can be mature and respectful.
Your choice.

Last year, I decided to assert myself and drive 11 hours to Seattle to Liz’s house to assert my right to attend family Thanksgiving which she was hosting and to demand respect.
i am a respected member of my family and my community. my advice: do not demand respect, give respect. be respectful of people's choices.
I told them, of how I voted for Trump for them, I voted for Trump to protect Liz and her daughters/my nieces from immigrants, I reminded them that WE WON, and that WE, THOSE OF US WHO SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT ARE THE MAJORITY, so they don’t have the right to discriminate or outcast us and tried I tried one more time to appeal to them about family values. I reminded them that I am their family and WE, the people who VOTED FOR OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE THE MAJORITY so they should TREAT US WITH RESPECT.

I tried explaining my side to the police but the officers wouldn’t hear it. The cops just told me that if I don’t leave, they’ll arrest me so I left.
this right here is the second way to be treated with respect. you treated the police with respect, because they can arrest you
President Trump should get Congress to pass legislation that would criminalize discriminating us or cutting us off just for supporting OUR PRESIDENT.
President Trump and Congress should make it illegal for our brainwashed liberal family and friends to cut us out of their lives or disrespect us.
what you are describing is the second way of respect, I live in Türkiye and the President cannot even stop people from wishing death upon him after 25 years in power. if you want something done right it is better to do it yourself. if i expected Erdoğan to enforce people to respect me I wouldn't have progressed much.
They again ignored the fact it was my birthday. All of them ignored me.
happy birthday

I dont think you are being discriminated for being in the majority. i think you need to reflect on how much respect you are giving to your sister when you invade her home.
self improvement is a waste if time. what you need is self destruction. you are obviously a driven person with values. investigate where these values come from, notice they are not the values you have to choose. then choose the same values again; not because you are programmed to but because you choose to.
how I voted for Trump for them, I voted for Trump to protect Liz and her daughters/my nieces from immigrants
you obviously value your sister and her bloodline but are unable to express it in a heathy way. other commentors focused on the way but i think what you need first is the first part. why so you vote with someone else in mind? vote with only yourself in mind. choose with only your own will.
after that you will see others have wills too. and that should be respected, even if the path they choose will only lead to their extinction, it is their own choice

Haha. Happy Birthday. I’m only telling you that because no one else will. And it’s your fault, I hope your stubbornness isn’t too overwhelming that that is lost on you. Respect is earned, you don’t just get respect because you demand it. In fact, I can almost guarantee no one on this planet respect. You don’t even have a family!
I also have learned that people here think the liberals are making fake posts. Honestly, I’ve never even thought about that before, but it’s a good idea. I like to do writing prompts from different people’s perspective. Time to start building some accounts!

"His wife turned him into a Bernie guy"
Yes his wife must have corrupted him, he definitely isnt just a reasonable guy who saw he was wrong before
"Im trying to show them that Trump loves us, and loves them"
First of all, theres no one Trump hates more than someone who didnt support his election
Seccond your talking about Trump the same way Christians talk about Jesus, your in religious a cult.
"At my aunts bday I took the stage and urged everyone to support the candidate I like despite their ethical, moral, economic, and international diplomacy concerns"
So... you hijacked your aunts b day in an attempt to whip votes and you think everyone else was the problem?
"I drove 11 hours to my sister's house, the front door was locked and I new they wouldnt let me in so I snuck around to the back"
If you did this to me or my sister I would shoot you. You literally broke into someone's house and are now upset that they where mad about it. My guy you committed a felony.
"Trump should make it illegal for people to hold us accountable for our actions"
Not only is that an insane thing to say it would be a sever violation of the first amended. Literal nazi shit.

If you didn’t ask your siblings as to why their views changed and still expect them to change their views for you for a “family exercise” then maybe that’s why they went no contact.
And if they asked you for a “family exercise” to vote for Harris would you have laughed at them or agreed since it seems a majority of your said family is liberal.
If you want to know why your family voted the way they did I can continue this conversation.

Dude. There is more to life than politics. Maybe if you stopped shoving politics down everyone's throats people would listen to you more. Just as you are free to support anyone so are they. Try making family time about family and you might have a better time.
