In most families anyway, a complete turdlet like Stephen Miller would definitely be the outcast, the black sheep, the person you don't want to invite to any gatherings and when you find out they are coming to some function you just sigh and look at each other with those knowing looks, and steel yourself for having to deal with a complete asshole.
Probably all of us have magats in our lives - neighbors, extended family, etc. I was trying to explain how often these people are usually left out of invites and so on to another commenter, probably on Denver Post's comments when they still had them. This guy was all-in on everything conservative and loved Taco. He refused to believe myself and another commenter telling him this, and was like "oh yeah?! well we don't invite radical liberals like yourself to functions, either!" LOL, it's usually women organizing functions of any size, or at least have final call/veto power on invites. This guy might be talking about the times he and one other guy goes to the gun range or on things like golf outings, but seriously, miss me with that invite, thanks.
Anyway: would not surprise me if most of Miller's family tries to leave him the fuck out of their plans, even if he now has money and prominence. He's so obviously a little shouty dweeb. Who the fuck would volunteer to be around that kind of energy?
I have MAGA family. My aunt was MAGA and died just a few hours into the new year this year. I felt nothing cause I cut pretty much all of them from my life. Only reason I know is cause my mom called to tell me.
