Basically anything full on Cult of Personality for Trump plus steadily increasing levels of fundamentalism Christianity. Holidays have been getting.......tense to say the least.
You don't get to pick the family you're born into. You do get to pick your family as an adult.
Sure. But I am unwilling to just throw away people who have been my foster parents since I was seven, saving me from a drug fueled abuser who had already tried to kill me once. As such I am willing to stomach a bit more than some of my contemporaries.
It was easier for me to throw away blood related people that raised me, than put up with the stress of dealing with their lie based reality 20 years ago. I don't miss the drama at all. I occasionally miss one of the almost 20 "relatives" that I cut off. Thing is that I have over 8 billion cousins out there, so I can make up for the bigots with actual humans, rather than subhuman scum.
