All the more reason to stay in touch with family. |

| We’ve seen my brother in law, his wife and their two kids once since 2016. It’s a shame too, because we used to visit a couple of times a year and our kids would play together, but we always went to them. I’m just not willing to subject myself to that environment. It’s not worth it. |

Agree. It is cruel to do to one's elderly parents. Almost as cruel as ... oh wait ... |

Based on what we've seen since Obama left office, careless Americans are more likely to elect their elderly parents to perform the most demanding job in the world than they are to be cruel to them. |

And you think MAGA is a cult but you're too high and mighty for your family. Ok. Be that way. |

Us normal people even love bigots like you. We know there is love somewhere buried down deep inside your hateful soul. |

I think what the people saying never abandon family under any circumstances are missing is that in many cases these people are being emotionally abusive to their non-MAGA family members. Some of these people are the ones on social media crowing about ‘making libs cry’ and they are taking that to family relationships as well, openly denigrating their children and grandchildren who hold humanistic liberal views, laughing off their federal job losses, openly sneering at their grief over losing immigrant friends and neighbors, refusing outright to put politics aside for the sake of the familial relationship because this is their time now - they had to swallow that n****r Obama sullying the WH and now it’s their turn to bask in the glow of a dictator they’re installed there instead.
Surely if a person’s MAGA family are polite and loving and agree to entirely take politics off the table of discussion at family events and phone calls etc., those MAGA family are not the ones being avoided and going without visits from their children, siblings, grandchildren etc. But there are many (far too many) hateful MAGA who are gleeful about refusing to respect reasonable boundaries to maintain family ties and that, plainly, is ABUSE. Nobody is obligated to stay in ANY abusive relationship - whether it is parent-child, sibling, marriage, or employment. ABUSE is intolerable and NOBODY should EVER be shamed for walking away from it and caring for their own mental health. NEVER. |

This is the Communist playbook. Break up families, disallow organized religion, destabilize institutions. Dont take the bait. |

| Keep trying to convince MAGA people, with every compelling argument you can formulate, how things would have been so much better on Earth if only Kamala Harris and Tim Walz had been elected. |

As someone with parents like this I can relate. They are choosing to support policies that hurt their own kids and descendants. At 80-something the world is no longer theirs. What they vote for could destroy their grandkids. They could support Trump and cheer on Vought and pass away the following year. They will never experience the fallout. |

Hitler killed himself but his supporters had to live with themselves and their devotion to a mass murderer. Ever read the WaPo story about the daughter of Rudolf Hess? Daddy was wonderful (when he wasn’t executing thousands of civilians). |

I stayed away from all MAGA relatives this year.
Fortunately, most got sick because they take no precautions, so there was extra reason to stay away. |
