We will never understand the mentality that drives someone to abandon their families and friends over politics. Life is too short to let politics dictate your joy, but here we are, we guess.
This teacher and former union president in Delaware clearly feels differently. This letter he wrote and published in a newspaper is something else:
BREAKING: A former Delaware teachers union president cut off his friends and family because they voted for Trump.
— Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist (@DeAngelisCorey) December 26, 2024
He wrote them a letter right before Christmas and published it in the state's largest news outlet
He was forced to resign as union president in 2018
Buckle up 👇🧵
Yeah, buckle up.
The former teachers union president is Mike Matthews.

He's still a teacher in the Red Clay School District in Delaware.
His open letter to "Trump-supporting family and friends" was published right before Christmas, on December 22nd. pic.twitter.com/963yW5vGMZ
Nothing says 'Christmas spirit' like doing something like this.
He blames his family: "Are you willing to examine your privilege, to acknowledge the harm caused by your political choices, and to commit to meaningful change? Healing is possible, but it requires accountability.. from those whose actions caused the fracture." pic.twitter.com/PItRHBR6LN

Holy sanctimony, Batman!
Does he hear how ridiculous he sounds?
Probably not.

Pardon us while we roll our eyes.

Imagine working with this guy.

So he supports child mutilation. Got it.
Why is he a former union leader, by the way? Well:

What about that whole 'hatred and division' thing, Mike?
"Matthews called then-Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner a 'Butch B**ch.' He wondered whether a video of 'chocolate, caramel and vanilla brothas' gang-raping Minner would boost her poll numbers." pic.twitter.com/guOas092jd

What a peach this guy is.
"Matthews also wrote in October 2005 that 'blowing all the Muslims up' perhaps isn’t such a bad idea. He suggested a child molester was justified if his wife was a 'stank-ugly ho.'" pic.twitter.com/WnkRj4YOv4

We bet this guy's fun at parties.
What a nutbag.
Somehow I think his family members breathed a sigh of relief that this year’s Christmas would be more peaceful due to his “self-pruning” from the family tree.

We're not even related to Mike and we feel relief he won't ruin Christmas.
His family might be better off.

They are.
God-Tier hypocrisy from a self righteous leftist teacher who is everything he claims to hate https://t.co/xfRiCxseXy

It's all projection.
This repulsive man-baby is in charge of educating (indoctrinating) children. I wonder if he feels this same way toward parents of his students — and therefore the students by extension — who voted for Trump? https://t.co/6wzjulmJ6j

He sure does.
