Fair winds and following seas. I have taken more steps away from the family MAGA(t)s too. They're ill and toxic.

That family members can’t see who is walking away from who and who is causing this to happen, is the part that angers me the most.

for the sake of the family." Even if you all agreed not to discuss politics and stuck by that, what's been done can't be forgotten. You couldn't have, say, a happy Thanksgiving together because it'd be shrouded in a cloud of disrespect and even enmity.

You're much better off.
