Here's the thing...this stuff is stressful.

71. I think what you are describing is one answer (a very major answer) to the problem.

I don't willingly or knowingly have anyone in my life that is MAGA or even a Republican. I know a couple in my mostly senior neighborhood that are and I don't even acknowledge that they exist - no greeting, no eye contact, nothing. They want to push their unholy nonsense on others and still be accepted but not with me. I found out recently that my next door neighbor has been doing the same. He used to talk to a couple frequently and even had them over for drinks on their deck once or twice until he found out they voted Republican. He told me he can no longer have any connection to them. He is devoutly Christian and said he's never hated anyone in his life, but he knows that he hates Trump.

I'm not saying that's what you are doing, but you have found a place where you are going to find many like minded people (and by like minded I mean just civil and kind and dare I say educated? It helps greatly to surround yourself with people like that to balance out the daily onslaught of pure evil we are seeing.
