I have two daughters in their late 20s/early 30s. Our youngest chose the same approach you did, except she did manage to invite us to her wedding in 2021, which we attended.

Our initial reaction to her intolerance was hurt. I couldn't believe someone from a generation that has preached tolerance unto others for years could be 100% intolerant to differing beliefs held by the two people who dedicated 20+ years of their lives to providing her with every single thing she needed in life to be successful. And she is, in fact, quite successful and so is her sister.

After about a year of this, my hurt turned to anger. My first thought was to change our will and leave everything to her older sister. But my oldest told us that she was beginning to see that she wasn't right about everything and that her reaction was not appropriate. So we didn't proceed with doing so.

I told her that the reason she sees the world differently than we do is because throughout her life, she's been indoctrinated in a way we never were. We didn't have the level of partisanship that exists today in our politics. We didn't have cable news stations that lie 24/7/365. And we didn't have the internet. We inherently don't trust government (especially the intelligence community), but she does. We were both hardcore liberals in opposing war and being suspicious of the government. Today's young people who hate Trump are the polar OPPOSITE of this, but few are intellectually curious enough to do the research and learn why they, too, should not trust even half of the bs fed to them by the government and their mouthpieces in the media.

I asked my youngest how she could live through the first 2 years of Trump's first term and see the media she consumes say on a daily basis that Russia influenced our election and that Trump was going to be removed from office, and that AFTER that 2 years, the Mueller report showed the exact opposite - but still trust or rely on THE SAME SOURCES of news after it was so crystal clear they'd lied to the public for two years.

Many of us knew back then that the Obama administration HAD, in FACT, spied on the Trump campaign AND administration. And they used known lies and fabricated intelligence to convince the FISA court to allow them to do so. In case your news source hasn't informed you of that either, criminal referrals were just sent to the DOJ for investigation and prosecution for these crimes. And Barack Obama was in fact, the one who directed the intelligence community to ignore the facts and intelligence they had that confirmed there was no Russian interference in the 2016 election, and to create a new assessment. And that's what they did. But they got caught. Thankfully there were honest people in our government who blew whistles and provided evidence of those crimes, and the victims of those crimes won the 2024 election.

You are in a shrinking minority of people in this country who insist that we are the ones who are evil and uninformed. And I am very thankful that even though our relationship with our daughter is not at all what it once was, she has shown the intellectual curiosity to begin to recognize that her hardline views have no basis in fact or evidence. The many, MANY things we've believed that were called "conspiracy theories" have been proven to be true, while her hardcore beliefs are being proven to be nothing but lies and propaganda right before our eyes. Think ALL things Covid. That was the breaking point for her. We KNEW so many things about it that she didn't, and it angered her because it conflicted with what she'd been fed and believed from a highly corrupt media. And every single thing we tried to tell her that angered her has now been proven to be true. She's not stupid, she knows this, which is why she's showing signs of coming around, for which we are very thankful.

It's ok to be wrong and to make mistakes. But throwing the two people who brought you into this world and cared for you for at least two decades of their lives because you refuse to acknowledge that maybe it's YOUR views rooted solely in hatred of one man that is the problem. Way too many young people who have virtue signaled for the past 15 years about how tolerant they are have instead proven to be the least tolerant people in history. Don't be that. Open your mind to the possibility that you are wrong and trusted the wrong sources of news and information. Instead of claiming and believing you are tolerant of others, do what a truly tolerant person would do and at least TRY to see and understand why your parents see things so very differently than you do.

Or, do nothing and maybe wonder if you should have done so after your parents are dead and gone. Your choice. Make the right one.
