RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Not a one of my family members, besides my mom and sister, are leftist. They're all very right-wing (nord.pub)

My mom is definitely center or left-of-center, and my sister is for sure a leftist, but besides that, not a one of my family members is leftist. They’re all right-wingers. I mean, some of my grandpa’s sisters, my aunts, are DEMOCRATS, but they’re very transphobic, which my Grandpa congratulates them for. My grandpa is hugely right-wing. My grandma is also right-wing, likely anti-immigration, but gets mad when Grandpa criticizes the left, so she might at least be more liberal than Grandpa but not a complete liberal/leftist. If liberal right-wingers exist, she could be that but IDK, I’m not very political.

Even my cousins are extremely right-wing. The boy is 13, constantly making fun of gay and trans people and bashing immigrants/Democrat politicians, whereas the girl (~18) isn’t really homophobic, and she certainly isn’t racist as she herself is black and has been discriminated against, but she is openly a conservative Republican as that’s what she believes. IDK her views on trans people, she probably finds them “goofy” though. She believes in capitalism like her mom, that hard work pays off, and that respect should be earned.

All my US Citizen family members lean democrat, but they still rant about "illegal immigrants"... despite us all being born in China (but we're all legal)

Mom told me that "Trump is a smart person"...

🤣

Jeez wtf propaganda is WeChat promoting

Mom told me "Democrats in NYC is causing so much chaos"...

The chaos like OUR FAMILY? They don't care about the distinction between legal and illegal.

My older brother is the craziest of them all. He hates black and brown people, but still complained about "trump is racist against Asians"...

Oh... uh huh... speaking of the "racism"... might wanna look into the mirror, bro...

I bet he realized that the best chance against trump is a Black Woman... his head probably exploded in the fact that he having to vote for a Black person is the most pragmatic option that's most beneficial to him

He thinks they're "DEI", that "the Dems let Black people be the face of it so they can get more votes"

Brother is about to get into marriage... arranged marriage to someone in China... oh jeez I wonder how fucked his parenting would be?

I mean his only advantage in the "marriage" thing is that our mom has money and property to leave to him...

He believes in Han-Chinese Supremacy lmfao...

He tries to make fun of me by saying to me "You're gonna marry a disgusting Mexican that clean toilets for a living"...
