FYI, this thread is almost a carbon copy of the recent [I think I’m done with Thanksgiving thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-think-im-done-with-thanksgiving/1010145).

Unless the person’s beliefs are truly abhorrent or evil (e.g. white supremacy), I think it’s harmful & counterproductive to sever relationships based on politics. Our children are _very_ liberal, and I am not; I disagree with them on _many_ issues. Should I cut ties with them? Of course not. The same goes for MAGA folks.
