I guess it’s just a different version of “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”

We can agree to disagree about "politics". We can't agree to disagree about democracy and the rule of law.

I always got along reasonably well with my Republican family members until MAGA, but I started to see our relationships begin to crumble during Obama’s presidency, when they started to let their racist attitudes come to the surface. I started distancing myself from them during that time, but now I’ve cut them out totally, with no regrets.

They disowned the female population by supporting an adjudicated rapist as the POTUS!
They disowned law abiding citizens by supporting a felon!
They disowned America by supporting a traitor and his traitorous cronies!

Dumpist sympathizers conveniently forget that point.

…and it is still an absolute right in this country to CHOOSE with whom you associate.
