While people grapple with how to handle family members and friends who voted against their basic human rights, the people in question are dealing with the fallout from their choices.
MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and the Republican Party's embrace of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 made clear the rights of women; ethnic, racial and religious minorities; the disabled; immigrants; and the LGBTQ+ community were at risk.
But ~77 million people chose to vote for Trump anyway and to put the GOP in control of Congress. And ~89 million Americans—36% of eligible voters—didn't bother to vote at all.
All the worst parts of Project 2025 are right on track, Trump's tariffs have effectively destroyed the economy, the Trump administration ignores the U.S. Constitution and the courts, and it appears Trump is itching for a war with anyone to counter his earned nickname, TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out), and to distract from his obvious cognitive decline.
Now the MAGA minions are having a moment.
Some are wondering if they did the wrong thing because they're now personally impacted by Trump's tariffs or abductions by the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Others are feeling sorry for themselves because their friends or family have cut them off over their embrace of an openly bigoted regime with authoritarian aspirations.
People like Shannon Hill (@ShannonMFHill) who lamented on X about her son cutting off contact over her Trump worship—something prominently displayed on her X profile.
In a now viral post, Hill wrote on X:
"Today my oldest son turns 36. I sent him a gift, left him a voicemail and texted him. But I won’t be hearing back from him - not even an acknowledgment that he received his present. Why? Because he hasn’t spoken to my husband or I in seven months because we voted for Trump."
"I miss him and hope that someday he will come around and realize the damage he is doing to our family by acting this way. My breaking heart is a continual reminder."
"I know many of you have similar stories and I pray that your family members come around as well. I’m not asking him to change his politics, but you can’t let it come between family."
@ShannonMFHill/X
The post got 10 million views, over 5,000 reposts, and 15,000 replies.
After getting feedback on why her son has cut her off, Hill whined:
"All of the liberals posting hate filled responses only prove the point. Sad to see."
@ShannonMFHill/X
Hill wasn't without sympathy, as many of her fellow MAGA minions had also been cut off by friends and family.
Like Hill, they took no responsibility for their estrangement.
In an unintentional self-own, many MAGA blamed "an education" for her son's differing values...
...but Hill countered it was the United States Marine Corps, not college, that taught her son compassion and empathy.
Then Hill called her son—a USMC combat veteran—a stupid freeloader.
@ShannonMFHill/X
Many people were brutally honest in their responses and reposts of her lament.

Some still had sympathy for parents who can't grasp why their children are disgusted by their choices.

But Hill's motive for her post appears to have nothing to do with reconciliation with her son.
Her "poor me" post got her the MAGA attention she desperately craves, jumping her follower count to over 30,000, an accomplishment she later celebrated in a post on X.
It seems her son made the right choice.
Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.
Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.
Critics, however, remain doubtful that the measure would meaningfully address the housing shortage, arguing that it would primarily limit public access to lands currently open for recreation and conservation.
And there's pushback within the GOP, including from Montana Representative Ryan Zinke, who said the following in a post on X:
"I don’t yield to pressure only higher principle. I have said from day one I would not support a bill that sells public lands. I am still a no on the senate reconciliation bill that sells public lands. We did our job in the House. Let’s get it finished."
You can see his post below.
Conservative radio host Patrick Payne said that Lee "recently told me in a group chat that he would rather have Blackrock own our public lands than keep them under federal management."
Lee pushed back, however, criticizing Tracy Stone-Manning, the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, for her opposition to the plan:
"The Senate bill does not authorize the sale of national parks, monuments, or wilderness. It identifies unused, garden-variety federal parcels for potential disposal—nothing more. Don’t fall for [Tracy Stone-Manning’s] disinformation campaign."
A Community Note beneath his post points out:
"No parcels are explicitly identified in the bill. It delegates enormous discretion to governors and local governments to decide what counts as “suitable,” and that discretion is not limited to obviously “unused, garden-variety” parcels."
You can see his post below.
He has been harshly criticized in response.
The Wilderness Society, a conservation group, released a map illustrating areas it believes could be subject to sale under the proposal. While the bill authorizes the sale of up to 3.3 million acres, it does not specify which lands would be affected. The organization identified more than 250 million acres of federal land as the broader pool from which those parcels could potentially be selected.
Lee dismissed the Wilderness Society’s map as “misleading,” arguing that it includes areas explicitly exempt from the bill. But Julia Stuble, the organization’s Wyoming state director, defended the map in an interview with Cowboy State Daily, saying the bill’s language leaves all the lands shown as potentially eligible for sale.
While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."
Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
Although the Emancipation Proclamation had gone into effect on January 1, 1863—freeing enslaved people in Confederate states—its enforcement depended on the advance of Union forces. Despite the Civil War ending in April 1865, news and enforcement of emancipation reached the westernmost Confederate state only months later.
While some enslavers in Texas were aware of the Proclamation, it wasn’t until Union troops arrived that the order was meaningfully enforced. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in rebelling states—not nationwide emancipation, which came later with the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
But Trump—who has been accused of racism many times—is clearly not keen on the day, given that the White House did not acknowledge it this year and that he instead took to Truth Social with the following message:
"Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don't want it either! Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year."
"It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Many have rebuked Trump's remarks—which are a classic case of projection considering he spends so much time playing golf and ranting on social media instead of governing.
It's worth noting that during his first term, Trump attacked those who took to the streets to condemn racism and police brutality following the murder of George Floyd, suggesting they should be shot "when the looting starts," breathing life into stereotypes about people of color being more inclined toward criminality.
We'd be here all day listing all of the other instances Trump has been accused of racism but consider a federal lawsuit that was filed against Trump in the 1970s alleging his real estate company had a policy of not renting to Black tenants.
Not a surprise this day would bother him so much.
President Donald Trump was ripped by critics after he awkwardly misspelled his own name while praising the B-2 pilots who flew the strikes on Iran—only to later delete the post and repost it as if nothing happened.
On Saturday, Trump authorized a series of intense U.S. air and submarine strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities, amid ongoing uncertainty about the status of Tehran’s nuclear program.
Senior U.S. officials cautioned that it was still unclear whether Iran retained the capability to build a nuclear weapon, and the whereabouts of its enriched uranium stockpile remained unknown. Nevertheless, Trump insisted that Iran’s nuclear infrastructure had been “obliterated.”
Then on Sunday, Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate the return of the B-2 pilots who ran the mission but, there was an awkward typo in the post that led him to delete and repost it.
You'd think he'd know how to spell his name considering how obsessed he is with himself—yet Trump's first version of the post read:
“The GREAT B-2 pilots have just landed, safely, in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done!!! DONAKD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!”
You can see what he wrote below:
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
"DONAKD"?
Perhaps none of this is a surprise from the same man who once referred to supply chains as "supply change," had to have an entire interview with Dr. Phil awkwardly cut to hide his repeated gaffes, weirdly named his billionaire ally Elon Musk "Leon" at a rally, and in February referred to the social media platform TikTok as "Tic Tac" twice in quick succession, confusing it with the popular breath mint brand.
Trump was widely called out for the gaffe, particularly considering this is the same guy with the nuclear codes and the ability to wage war.
Iranian officials condemned the U.S. strikes, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warning during a news conference in Istanbul that Iran “reserves all options to defend its security interests and people.”
Araghchi declined to elaborate, including on whether Iran would target American military assets in the region, where over 40,000 U.S. personnel and civilians are stationed across bases and naval vessels.
Meanwhile, U.S. military and intelligence officials reported signs that Iran-backed militias were preparing to strike American bases in Iraq—and potentially Syria—in response. Iraqi leaders were actively working to prevent such attacks.
When our partner commits suspicious behavior, it's easy for us to jump to conclusions.
Most of the time, the conclusions we jump to are 100% wrong and are just our imaginations playing tricks with us.
In less fortunate situations, however, our fears proved to be well-founded.
Then there are the unusual, but far too common, cases where the behavior of our spouses seems so blatant and obvious that we almost refuse to believe the truth.
Even when it's right in front of us.

It's easy to love someone so much that you might choose to ignore their flaws and weaknesses.
Ignoring something, however, doesn't make it disappear.
