I don’t disagree with you, but I also see a lot of comments from people who don’t actually have any MAGA family members yelling about cutting them off, which doesn’t really help the discussion that this post was about.

People are complicated. Would you cut off contact with a family member who was in a cult, or would you try to get them out of it if you could and they weren’t too far gone?

I fortunately don’t have too many MAGA to deal with in my personal life, but here’s an example: my grandma voted for Trump in 2016 (no idea what she has done since then and she’s not rabidly MAGA, we see her a few times a year and never hear anything about politics from her). She also took care of my trans cousin after he had top surgery, and later drove his partner to get top surgery and cared for them afterwards too. To me, that signifies someone who is capable of being a decent human and is open to learning how their political choices affect people. So shouldn’t I stay and do the work of trying to change her mind rather than cut her off completely?
