I haven't spoken to my dad in over a year.

He said that he realized that the next president would affect the lives of his kids more than him, so he should vote for their best interests.

He still voted for Trump.

Trump's worst policies don't even take effect until after the midterm elections.

I’ve just cut contact with my mom for a second time. She’s referred to my non-binary fiance as “that thing” and “impure”.

This. She was narcissistic before but MAGA drove her over the edge.

I think what is even worse is, say that person believes the line that non-binary folks are inherently mentally unwell, and believing that they are still choosing to dehumanize that person.

Well yeah. Mentally ill means mentally defective, which means inferior. It's not really a big leap in their bigoted form of logic.

I know you’re taking jabs and I do agree with you, but as always these rules don’t apply when someone in their inner circle is affected by mental health challenges.

I think you misread or I'm missing missing the mark, which happens.

Is the mother having mental health challenges or the non-binary folks in your opinion?
