The Left Is Demanding That People Disconnect From Their Suppressive Person (SP) Family Members Again, So You Know This Must Be the Holiday Season

It's a standard cult move to demand that people separate from their families. Or from anyone else who might question cult doctrine.

The headline refers specifically to Scientology's terminology for disowning family members and "Suppressive Persons," meaning people who try to impede you from growing in the "church."

That is, a suppressive person is anyone who tells you you're in a cult. The cult demands you separate from -- "disconnect" from, in Scientology lingo -- anyone who points out that the cult you're in is acting a lot like a cult.

Which brings us to this lovely letter from a New York Times reader, written to the Times' "expert" on ethics.

The basic question: My mother refuses to say who she voted for. My wife and her sister demand I disown my own mother, because the fact that she even leaves open the possibility that I voted for Trump means that she's an SP. Should I disconnect from her?

His own mother.

His own mother.

My Mom Voted for Trump. Can We Let It Go?
The magazine's Ethicist columnist on how a family might proceed in the wake of a momentous presidential election.
An illustration of a contentious family gathering, with the factions separated be a long dining table. On the one side is a Trump supporter and her confused son, who looks at her askew. On the other is the son's wife and her family, who feel hurt and disappointed by the Trump supporter's actions.

My mother, a two-time Trump voter in Florida, has moved closer to us in a safely blue state. While I don't know what her vote was in the 2024 presidential election, it wouldn't have affected the outcome. I strongly oppose Trump, as do my wife and her family, who live nearby.

What's your wife's boyfriend's opinion, cuck?

(That remark was made by the Ruthless podcast guys, from where I heard about this "ethical problem.")

I'm troubled by my mother's support of someone I consider morally abhorrent and dangerous, especially when she voted in a former swing state.
With the result of the 2024 election, my wife and her family are directing their understandable fury at my mother. My wife's sister said, ''If she voted for Trump again, I'm completely done with her.''

By all means, side with your awful wife's awful sister over the woman who birthed you and raised you to be a "man."

I expect that the next time they interact it will not be pretty. But my mother is a member of our family, and an invaluable caregiver to our children. She's pleasant and kind in daily life and moved far from her home primarily for us and her grandkids. And she is my mother, after all.

Oh, and his mom provides free childcare for him, taking care of his kids while he and his awful wife cruise bars looking for bulls.

I'm torn. My wife and her family expect me to brook no compromise and to speak out on an issue that feels existential to them (as it does to me), but because I know that her vote here doesn't make a difference, I have trouble feeling motivated to admonish her for her past and possibly present support of Trump. At the very least, they don't think I should expect them to be anything other than completely unfiltered with my mother.
I appreciate the sacrifices my mother has made to be near our family and our children, and our kids love their grandma. And she is the woman who raised me. But my wife and her family will be channeling their anger at one of the few Trump voters they personally know. And my mother expects me to intervene and speak up for her or to encourage my wife's family to be more civil. She sees her vote as a ''personal choice'' and doesn't seem to believe that she should be criticized for it.
Ethically, is it wrong for me to hold my tongue or to try to negotiate the peace even though I agree with the substance of my wife's family's position? If I try to protect my mother from vitriol, would I be betraying myself, or my wife and her family, in order to preserve harmony and child care? Or would I be justified in suggesting that we all lay down our arms, given that her vote no longer affects the national outcome? If I try to completely opt out of having a role in this conflict, am I doing a disservice to all parties involved? What do we owe to ourselves and the respective warring sides in a situation such as this? -- Name Withheld

The New York Times' "Ethicist" -- what a deranged joke -- tells this mentally-ill, henpecked cuck that this is a very real problem and the fact that someone in his immediate family voted for someone he didn't vote for is a "sad" situation.

From the Ethicist:
This is a sad but not unusual story. Political scientists have identified a form of animus they sometimes call partyism, which they try to measure in various ways. They can ask respondents whether people of the other political party have positive traits (generosity, say, or honesty), or bad ones (selfishness, untrustworthiness); they can ask what people think about being friends with supporters of the other party or about their children marrying across the partisan divide. Since at least 2000, the research suggests, people's positive feelings about their own party have stayed roughly constant; the big drop, which has intensified since 2016, is in positive feelings toward the other side. In an era when few Americans are still bothered by interracial marriage, recent surveys find that a large percentage of people who identify as Democrats or Republicans want their children to marry within the party. And the trend isn't just found in this country: Partyism swamps other sources of intergroup hostility in Britain, Belgium and Spain, too.
One way in which these attitudes can be rationalized is by insisting that members of the other party are making the wrong choices because they are wicked or stupid or both. Yet voting for morally reprehensible candidates doesn't mean you necessarily share their vices.

Note there's no acknowledgement that Democrats might share the vices of their candidates. Only Republicans are assumed to share in the vices of their candidates.

Because Democrat candidates have no vices, of course.

At the same time, your mother is, as you say, mistaken to speak of her vote as if it were nobody else's business. For these purposes, the causal consequences of how she voted, in one state or another, is a distraction. It isn't that any of us is casting the determining vote; it's that we're joining with others to achieve the results we favor, collectively sharing responsibility for the outcome if we succeed. And because she has been open about her previous two votes, people who know her are entitled to ask her why she cast them. If they can't make sense of her answer, they're free to reproach her or express their disappointment. That goes for you as well: Treating your mother with respect means being honest about your views.
But it doesn't mean cudgeling her with them. Once you've said your piece and listened to what she has to say in her defense, repeating the same arguments over and over would be the act of a bully.

Well, it took a while, but I guess in the end the "Ethicist" is saying that it's perfectly reasonable to put your mother through a prolonged, searing Struggle Session, but once that Struggle Session is over, you shouldn't continue bullying her about her vote (even while you secretly and rightly continue to despise her).

MSNBC's Race Lady is also demanding that people disconnected from their Suppressive Person family members.

This "grief counselor" advises the non-patients watching him online to separate from their families for the holidays in the interest of mental health. He also says that Thanksgiving is a "made-up" holiday that is only a celebration of taking the country away from the Indians.

Flashback: Three years ago, Pope Anthony Fauci told Americans to exclude their unvaccinated relatives from Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings.

Meanwhile, Ana Kasparian continues talking as if she's been freed from the doctrines of a malicious cult. She specifically talks about freeing herself from the "cultish" members of the left who are continuing to attack her for refuting core cult doctrines. (This is in the first few minutes of the interview linked there.)

She says she's feeling "a lot more in touch with the world around me, and reality," and calls her escape from the cult "liberating."

She then says that for some people, "politics has taken the place of religion."

Welcome to 2015, Ana.

She does admit Trump "broke my brain a little."

Kindness from a guy named Jeff completely changed Ana Kasparian's view of Trump supporters:
"Trying to get this bicycle up the stairs, this guy stops me, his name is Jeff, 'Let me help you out with that'.

And yet, I have no firm idea how any of my sibs or cousins voted - or, even IF they voted, this time around. We just don't talk about it much.

Let me put this as politely as possible: fuck those people sideways with a pineapple covered in barbed wire.

What is WRONG with people that they are letting politics break them like this?

Your mother loves you and her grandkids enough to move to another state (and I'm betting anything this is moving back from FL to somewhere in the Northeast) to be there for family and you are letting Donald Trump get in the way of that?

Not to mention the sheer mercenary calculation to not piss off the free childcare.

41 One indicator of mental illness is separation from friends and family. That's not the same thing as choosing to be away from toxic relationships, but honestly, how many people can you push away in your life and still remain sane and human? Voting for someone you disagree with is not the same thing as abuse. These idiots have no idea what abuse is until they commit it. I would guess, however, that many of their family members are just as happy they don't show up for family events. Just sayin'.

I'd forgotten the dad, who is terminal, was the chef of the family, so they never have made a Thanksgiving. So, since I had 2 adult daughters ready to help, we expanded the food we are making tomorrow, figuring we can bring plates over. Since Target and Safeway had no more green beans, I moved up my sweet potatoes to tomorrow and my kid made 2 types of sweet breads - pumpkin maple and orange pomegranate - to add to the breakfast/lunch spread (since my 7th guest is coming for all meals vs just dinner and we're gonna send brunch over, too, if needed...yeah, things change on the fly when someone is in home hospice)...

One characteristic of "intelligence" is the ability to question your own understanding. To consider the possibility that you do not know everything. That you might be mistaken.

(This is related to Dunning Kruger effect. And as Yeats said, the best lack all conviction while the ignorant are full of passionate intensity.)

I see a lot of it on the Left. Don't these people even consider that maybe the mother is right? I mean, half the country agrees with her. Do they want to hang their entire family relationship on this?
It takes a lot of arrogance, and that is not often discussed. I am too timid to think that I have all the answers, so I am always trying to listen to lefty podcasts and researching their POV, but I guess I am not smart enough to understand their jabbering so I never really know.

On pretty much any issue of the day if you disagree with a leftist you will first get a bunch of clearly recycled arguments from some TV talking head and then a "what gives you the right to disagree with someone who is an expert in this topic?!?"

There is a guy in Manchester who has put out videos about Manchester's nightlife that have gotten millions of views, showing young, frequently drunken, women walking down the street, dressed for the nightclub, i.e. rather provocatively.

Well, the cops just kicked down his door and arrested him.

For what?

A commenter on X noted that the British government is trying to get rid of the legal principle that you can film people in public - the British government has already jailed people for uploading footage of the recent riots to social media, and that going after this guy is intended to reinforce the idea that the only things you can film in public are the things that the State approves of.

The last decade or so has made me far less agreeable.

151 So on one hand you have your mom who is a kind hearted woman and grandma, moved so that she could be near you and her grandchildren, and loves you....

and then you have your bitch wife and her bitchy family who wants to lay in to your mother because of who she voted for and they want to make her miserable and rue the day that she ever voted for Trump. And you are wondering what you should do? First, turn in your man card. Next, think about how you want to raise your children and what kind of morals and values that you want to instill in them because if you leave it up to your wife, they will turn out like her and her family.

Smart money says that you will be divorced within 10 years. Why not do it now, take care of your mom and make sure you get 50/50 custody of the kids.

I agree. I have always been skeptical of EU claims that certain dyes or additives cause emotional problems or other vague symptoms. Their whole approach to regulation has been mostly based on creating hurdles for US and other foreign competitors.

But seeing how the drug industry has completely captured the FDA, I gotta think the food industry is doing the same. That, and all the processing and additives that I think ruin the taste of many foods, I think Kennedy is just the man we need to shake things up.

The man understands dysfunction, and likens the Democrats to a family that has a terrible secret (e.g. dad is a drug addict). All the family’s energy is spent in suppressing this secret, and for anyone to let this information out would destroy the family, revealing how all participated in keeping thissecret.

It is an excellent description of what’s been happening, and why the Trump win caused such damage to them. If you have a Democrat friend or loved one you think can be reached, send this to them!!!

223 "Actually, 'Prometheus' gets better after two or three viewings. You done with the mashed potatoes?"

One thing I'll say after watching it again - the acting and directing are decent but the plot/script are mindblowing stupid. Michael Fassbender was GOODin his role and the other main actors were all pretty decent.

But the plot had their characters repeatedly do idiot things.

He again apologize and all is well for now and I hope it stays that way.

We have two kids who unfortunately are on the other side when it comes to political opinions.

More than once we have been asked when going to some event where there will be friends of family of our kids -- and who largely agree with their political opinions and not ours -- to "Please, please do NOT bring up politics in discussions!"

We don't, and never have.

However, you know who JUST HAS TO BRING UP POLITICS IN DISCUSSIONS?

That's right -- THEM.

And its always the most spittle flicking and mouth foaming topics that they trot out right off the bat. We are civil and deflecting -- not because we do not wish to engage in such discussions, but because those with whom we might engage are so far around the bend that there is no prospect for matters staying on an even keel.

Afterward, we make a point of drawing our offspring's attention to "Just who was it who brought up the topic of politics, again?"

254 I agree. I have always been skeptical of EU claims that certain dyes or additives cause emotional problems or other vague symptoms. Their whole approach to regulation has been mostly based on creating hurdles for US and other foreign competitors.
________________

See GMO foods, i.e., keep American farm products from competing with European farmers.

In fairness, it's entirely possible that some of the dyes are carcinogenic because they tend to have aromatic nuclei that can intercalate into DNA (as does, e.g., the notorious carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene) and have problematic functional groups (e.g., amino and nitro groups). Look at the structures of some of the dyes, then look at the structure of beta-naphthylamine, a potent carcinogen.

So some of the dyes may be a problem. IDK if their carcinogenicity has been studied, but it should be.

They support unlimited baby killing and The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. They ban school prayer and support Hamas terrorists. Their hero President credibly accused of rape, diddle a young intern with a cigar and lost his law license for committing perjury as well as paying a lawsuit for exposing himself to a woman trapped in a room with him. This is just a fraction of the evil democrats support and do.

They have. There's a whistleblower I've seen in a few interviews, can't remember his name but I expect he will turn up, who claims some of the same people who were working with the health industry on tobacco issues moved over to the food industry once they lost on cigarettes.

You don't have to be a rocket surgeon to know that feeding your kid a steady diet of Coke, Cheetos and Ring Dings can't be a good thing. And I french fries at the clown's place definitely tasted better when they used fats instead of seed oils.
