The atmosphere is so heated, and the statements are getting more and more extreme. Let's just assume Harris wins the election. After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

I assume you're not in the crosshair of Trump policy once he gets elected? Because for some people threats to their life and voting Trump are about the same thing.

You continue to tolerate your family tolerating and even choosing hate and bigotry, even if they themselves don't exhibit them to your face. Your uncle IS a bad person.

So say they cut their family off and now have no support network. Now what?

You continue living without having to entertain hateful bigots? It's worked out pretty great for me.

There's a middle ground. Not talking won't convince anyone, either.

But realizing that certain people are bad people because they express their values through certain votes is important.

E. g. you can not attend the roast and cite their political views as the reason, especially with the recent (and constant) hate on immigrants. That doesn't mean they're cut off.
