I know several of us are feeling this way. It’s tough. 💔
Personally, I chose to cut those toxic folks out of my life. I’m not down with racism, misogyny or bigotry no matter who you are.
I choose to surround myself with people who have shared values. It’s not about politics, it’s about humanity.

I built my world of happiness and worth and put up the walls brick by brick
Much respect.
After all of these years, they’re not coming back and they have made their choice.
I’m there too.
Not bringing up the topic with those particular people is ok
If I don’t want go to an event because I know that they will be saying smack then I’m not going.
We can do this👍
Minute it comes up I walk away.
My FIL & BIL are brutal.
We’ll get through it. Only way right!
Otherwise I avoid them like the plague.
I’m the only Dem in a sea of red.
We just don’t speak about politics.
Those that taunt and laugh I avoid but most know not to talk to me about trump.
Nowhere in my post did I say that everyone else should do what I do.
Just telling my story.
They perceive boundaries as ultimatums, ultimately leading to the only viable option: no contact. This, too, is a decision they actively participate in.
I'm sorry if anyone is experiencing this, but I'm also grateful we are standing up. 🤗✊🏼
So by the time MAGA came around I had already established a comfortable distance both geographically and socially from most right-wingers.
Always trust your gut. Always.
There are many "helpers" on Bluesky.
There are people that I would never *choose* to have in my life that I am trying to figure out how to get away from. People I’ve known my whole life - whose thinking rots my soul.
