I hear ya. My older sister is a MAGA, turned that way during the COVID lockdowns because she was anti-vax, and spiraled from there. Listening only to far right podcasts for news. She moved in with her daughter, and my niece slowly became like her. I tried not to engage in politics with them and just keep it light when I talked with them, but they kept bringing it up. On social media I get very political, and then the other day I discovered that they had blocked me on their social media. They also refuse to talk to me by phone or text anymore. The sad thing is that they live in Texas and three of my nieces four children identify as transgender. My sister refuses to recognize that. It got so bad that two of my niece's older kids moved out to live with their father, who is not bigoted.
