Head Yale psychiatrist calls it 'essential' for liberals to cut off Trump-voting loved ones during holidays 
'It's completely fine to not be around [Trump voters] and to tell them why,' Yale University chief psychiatry resident Dr. Amanda Calhoun told MSNBC
With the holiday season approaching, a prominent mental health expert told MSNBC viewers that they should feel justified in cutting ties with relatives that voted for President-elect Donald Trump.
Yale University chief psychiatry resident Dr. Amanda Calhoun spoke to MSNBC host Joy Reid on Friday night about ways liberals who are devastated with Trump's re-election this week can cope with news, including separating from certain loved ones.
"So, if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you… it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why," Calhoun told Reid.
The host prompted the expert's answer by discussing how the LGBTQ community and other minority groups have been feeling particularly vulnerable following Trump's election on early Wednesday morning.
Citing a recent report from progressive outlet, The 19th, Reid said, "Yeah, and we know that there's been a vast increase since the election – 700 percent increase in calls from LGBTQ youth to The Trevor Project, which offers phone, online chat, or text to people – 700 percent increase in calls, texts, and chats compared to recent weeks."
The host then asked how these people should be interacting with those they know – including family – that voted for Trump, who she accused of being against Americans' rights.
"But I wonder if also, are people challenged with the idea of, how do you interact with people who voted for this?"
She added, "If you are an LGBTQ person and you know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights, or you're a woman knowing, you know, that this man was calling people the b word. JD Vance was literally calling Kamala Harris 'the trash.' He said, 'We're going to take out the trash.' I know a lot of Black women were incredibly triggered by that."
Calhoun affirmed it's fine for those aggrieved by Trump's win to avoid Trump supporting family and friends, adding that they should 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 need to take some space for me.'"
Calhoun continued, noting that it is important, and even "essential" for people to establish boundaries with family members for their own sanity.
"I think you should very much be entitled to do so, and I think it may be essential for your mental health."
Do liberals and leftists hate you, your families, and humanity itself? Studies say yes.

Rocks aside, how do you see yourself mapping on to this? I usually think of Catholics as more conservative, but this description of the liberal group sounds similar to ideas you've defended
Does their universal/parochial distinction capture that worldview well?

Catholic social teaching is a mix of conservative and liberal, in the American paradigm we are pariahs to the left for belonging to a white-coded religion (I can pull quotes from Kamala etc if you want, they genuinely loathe Christians) and being pro-life. Unless a WW3 level crisis occurred that could rival the threat to human life presented by modern left-liberals or the parties changed I will in all likelihood either abstain or vote Republican for the rest of my life.
--
Catholics are not pro-open borders or pro-immigration per se, we are pro-immigrant and similarly historically pro-labor. In line with a point I made last week about how we view concepts like "sacrifice" - the very idea of weakness and victimhood in the western imagination is the Christian worldview. Pagans and most cultures around the world abhorred the weak and viewed it as a moral failing, sign of disfavor from the gods, and/or a justification for all varieties of abuse and domination. A rightly ordered Christian would seek to engage politically to protect the rights of the downtrodden rather than, y'know, just frickin' killing them.

I always knew we were on the same wavelength.
I'm hoping that Democrats will see this and understand how disgusted we are by both choices and try to appeal to disaffected voters next time around. But I just keep seeing the same voices (Teixeira, Axelrod, Carville, even fricking Van Jones) screaming that you have to change if you want to win. And nobody in the Dem leadership will even entertain the thought.
When I said that if this happened in Korea people would be jumping off cliffs that wasn't hyperbole. But we got a two-tier justice system here. Some bipoc commits a violent crime and he's fricked for life. Every other time somebody ever does anything wrong, there's no accountability. Just open the phone app that whispers to you about girl power, go to your therapist who tells you everyone else is wrong.

in the US we usually are split lib/con on most surveys ive seen but its really only due to a lot of people saying "oh yeah im catholic i guess" when asked for the survey. Saw one broken down by how often people go to mass and people who go to mass >1 time per month were like 90% con with the proportion increasing the more often they went to mass.

As I understand it it's where your moral allocation stops. Or more like with 100 empathy points how much do you spend on all these rings. Conservatives spend most on the inner rings and Liberals spread their rings out further leaving less for the inner rings. Doesn't necessarily mean they hate their family, after all both a conservative and liberal could spend 25 points on their immediate family, but it does mean (at least in rhetoric) the weight placed on the closest rings levels off hard, i.e. after those 25 points of immediate family the conservative would spend 20 on their extended family and 15 on friends while the liberal might spend 5 on extended family and 5 on friends.

I just hope that people just shut the frick up and not care about who won and who lost for one measly holiday season.
Yeah, sure, America/the West has been saved/cursed/etc...and you got a whole cycle to yap yap yap about it...but for God's sake, can it really hurt to forget all about that and at least pretend you enjoy the presence of others for even a single week, even through the disagreements?
Frankly, I find that destroying entire relationships solely (and even if it's the "breaking point" for an already-strained one) because you differ by a single bubble you wrote on a piece of paper in a single day of a single month is ridiculous, regardless of the beliefs you and the other(s) will hold
