For many families, politics has always been something you debate at the dinner table and move on from. But in recent years, some people say those disagreements have started to feel less like differences of opinion — and more like fundamental clashes over values, identity, and boundaries.
For some, that tension has strained relationships. For others, it’s led to distance, limited contact, or cutting ties altogether — decisions that are often complicated, emotional, and rarely taken lightly.
So we want to hear from you: If you’ve cut off — or significantly distanced yourself from — a MAGA family member, what led to that decision, and what has the experience been like?
Maybe there was a specific breaking point — a conversation, post, or moment that changed how you saw the relationship.
Maybe the distance happened gradually, after repeated arguments, boundaries being ignored, or feeling like you couldn’t be yourself around them.
Maybe you tried to keep the relationship but shifted to low contact — avoiding certain topics, limiting visits, or setting new rules to protect your peace.
Family estrangement is rarely simple, and political divides can intersect with deeper dynamics around respect, safety, and trust. So tell us: If you’ve cut off or distanced yourself from a MAGA family member, what happened — and how do you feel about that decision now?
