I didn't want to be more specific, only quoting a reputable source verbatim; but you forced my hand :)

Family is even staunchly Mormon, AIUI

Leave it as an exercise to construct the bayesian model for ex-Mormons are: homosexual, leftist, etc

There's a reason Mormons are sought-after gov employees*, but if we can't talk about that, be consoled by the idea that being leftist is treasonous

*A level religious, above uh Luigi's sub-ethnicity, famous for its loyalty, shall we say


I haven't seen any by unhinged leftists, however I have seen countless normal people tired of hate, authoritarianism, racism, anti-women, anti-science, and anti-infrastructure, and narcissistic tendencies by their parents, who are often MAGA or QAnoners.


> unhinged leftists

You only get one mom and dad, and estranging yourselves from them over political disagreements (common on reddit) seems fairly unhinged to me. And I was just trying to illustrate the absurdity of the

> HIS FAMILY IS MAGA

cope, which leftists latched onto immediately, even on reddit, where the counterexamples abound.


> You only get one mom and dad…

Some parents are net negatives in said life.


> Some parents are net negatives in said life.

Yeah, some--but probably not theirs. I guarantee a lot of them will have a tragic change of heart after their parents are gone.


> You only get one mom and dad

Which doesn't automatically make them good people or worthy of respect.

If someone is a shitty person, they are a shitty person, no matter how much DNA they share with you.


Seems pretty normal to leave someone if they are abusive or narcissistic.


No, but you see, protecting yourself from your abusers is unhinged /s
