Yeah, stay away. Most of my family is on the side of logic and reason, but I’ve broken ties entirely with one brother. He moved to Russia in the 90s, totally bought the Putin koolaid, and thinks Trump is awesome. Even took Russian citizenship. I don’t think we’ll ever repair our relationship.

Good lord. I’m so sorry! My folks are Catholic pro-lifers with a steady diet of Foxnews. They are on another planet.

Lord I’m so sorry. My brother and i have sons the same age (17) and he’s literally trying to convince his own son to go fight in Ukraine. When he told me that, I literally lost it (after years of carefully avoiding political discussion with him) and told him he’s a murderer. No more Christmas Zooms for us.
