1. Shipmate, stay your course!

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

2. They want us to worship evil, criminals, psychopaths.

The end of democracy, rule of law.
And hate all the people they hate.

We just cannot and will not do it.

3. 100% the fault of the piece of shit himself

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.

4. You're well-rid of them.

I ditched trump-humping family and friends some time ago---no regrets.

[UpInArms]

5. It's a cult

I am so sorry

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. There's no point in trying to 'keep things together

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.

7. "I have cut ties with 10 members of my family..."

Lost my family years ago over Trump.

9. Congratulations!

You have lost nothing. They have lost a lot.
