Me too. Are you telling them why? I'm leaning towards cutting them all off, going full no contact, saying exactly why, and moving to either a blue state or out of the country for a while (which I have the means to do).
I normally find some stupid excuse to get out of family gatherings, but this will probably be the year I tell them directly.
I'm really torn because overall my family and I have decent relations and they aren't the totally fucking insane Maga types. But I'm so incredibly disgusted, ashamed, and terrified, I can't just go over and pretend everything is normal. We are so far past politics as usual and the ebbs and flows of power/control. So idk what to do. I'm probably going to skip and stay home and order a pizza and smoke all day and watch LOTR or something, just can't take this shit anymore idk
