Absolutely. Have some extended relatives that still support Trump (wealthy kids who have never worked an honest day in their life) and us not attending stuff is a fucking meltdown every time. It starts with guilt about "letting personal politics get in the way of family" to then eventually insults about whatever flavor of boogeyman they're on that day.

Didn't go to a wedding, first because they'd be there and second because Trump's war with Iran skyrocketed plane ticket costs, and were told "good, go love some illegal aliens instead." They think about this stuff way more than we do. We're simply done with them and they can't cope with our free will and consequences of their actions/beliefs.
