I can relate to your feelings, and I'm so sorry. My mother is maga, and it's SO hard not to snap at her. With her age and health, I can't walk away. I tell you what, it really makes me second guess everything I thought I knew.

I wanted to add the thought that if we replace the word Maga with the word Nazi or KKK, your feelings won't seem so extreme. And it reminds me of what they said about the Civil War, that it divided families, brother against brother. It seems like that's where we're going. Or at least that's what Maga wants.
