    Had kind of a similar conversation with my dad recently. “I’m sorry you feel that way.” “Well they’re cutting Medicaid, so we’ll see how that goes for you.”

      ‘I’m sorry you feel that way.’ He’s sorry you think people should have equal rights?

      Your dad doesn’t have a political problem, he has a morality problem.

        It was actually about my job (I work for the federal government), but same issue. He, my mother, and my brother voted for something that directly impacts me.

        There’s a guy up thread saying I shouldn’t take it personally, but how can I not? They’re the ones making jokes about how hard I don’t work.

        If the Medicaid and social security things go through, it’ll be much sooner than that. My brothers and I paid for a new hvac system for their house last year, which gives an idea of the financial issue they are likely to face.
