Yes, it might be. Differences in basic policy strategy is one thing, but a conscious choice to elect a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic liar to the highest office in the land is another. Many people, especially those in marginalized communities, do not feel safe in their communities or sadly, in their own families right now. People considered friends and family members voted against women's rights, trans rights, climate change, immigrant's rights, Palestine, and Ukraine. These are not casual or cavalier "agree to disagree" issues. There will be very real consequences to the people in our closest community circles, some of which we're already seeing with draconian abortion and women's healthcare bans.
I get where you are coming from. And those are horrific scenarios. I’m more referring to nurturing close relationships. Like is it worth it to cut out a family member or a close friend because of a vote.
