'People feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them and against people that they love,' Sunny Hostin said


After a psychologist made headlines arguing people should avoid Trump-supporting relatives this holiday season, "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin agreed, saying many people feel "someone voted not only against their families but against them."

Shortly after the election, Yale University chief psychiatry resident Dr. Amanda Calhoun spoke to MSNBC host Joy Reid about how liberals who are devastated by Trump’s re-election can cope with the news, including separating from loved ones.

"There is a push, I think just a societal norm that if somebody is your family, that they are entitled to your time, and I think the answer is absolutely not," Calhoun told the talk show host. "So if you are going to a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, like what you said, against your livelihood, it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why, you know, to say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted, because it went against my very livelihood and I’m not going to be around you this holiday.’"





I whole heartedly agree.

Give Americans a peaceful holiday away from the Democrat ####bags. :yahoo:

Alienating people from their families is the first step in cult brainwashing. Domestic abusers do it, too. And pedophiles.
Absolutely.

Another step is the psychological manipulation of the simple minded to convince them that a vote for Trump cast by a family member was done solely because that family member hates you. 👿

Promoting irrational fear and loathing is a great precursor to full blown phobia and mental illness.

Yep. Anything like family, former friends prior to cult - they’re a threat to your newly formed faith. And they WILL corrupt you. Best to stay away until you can handle them without support. If you HAVE to - take some members with you.

I can remember the first time I went to the “home” church and there were protesters. I went straight up to them, and most of the members with me were scolding me NOT to. Playing with fire. Inwardly I thought they were full of crap. If my faith was worth a damn, it could handle a challenge.

Years later I would learn that the leader there had been diddling young men there and it was a closely guarded secret they didn’t like talking about. One of those men would later turn the tables and take over the movement because he had him over a barrel.

I'm seeing unfounded articles that are saying the show is at end stage. Don't think it is, yet, but will need a major overhaul to continue.


What's needed is to push Whoppi & Behar out . There is no right side opposing view anymore. The younger panelists are fearful of the older 2.

Its not going to happen because the protests on line will eventually shut down the show. They need another Walters type to take over being more objectional than the 2 older women.

If they lost Whoopi, Joy and Sunny the shows intelligence factor would triple.

Whoopi needs the job; don't you know she's just working class and barely getting by? :lol:

Eat, drink, watch football at family gatherings. Why waste time arguing over politics with family? What is wrong with people?

Keep you cool, keep quiet, if politics comes up, do not engage, however, get out of there fast if somebody tries to show you vacation videos or their daughters dance recital.

I have liberal friends and family. I know better than to bring up politics with them. They don't want to understand nor be advised.
So: I don't

Not long ago, we had one of my BIL's friends come by for dinner while he was visiting. I wouldn't have minded so much of her political rantings except that she was mostly talking TO MY CHILDREN. I deflected as often as I could- you don't "WIN" these things - and once the kids were finished, we left so they could have their Trump hate fest.

THIS was the kind of thing I don't like - rude, argumentative types. Had I known she was going to be this way, I would have asked my guest to not bring her for DINNER - just come by if she liked.

People who can't keep their political mouths shut are not welcome at my table. Ditto religion or any other social issue you need to vent on - I have vegan relatives who have to "inform" me - it's not just politics. If you come to my house to argue, you can stand outside and shout at the wind. Life is just too damned short.
