5. You realize it's the MAGAts who are provoking, taunting, agitating etc at these things right?

In my case, despite written and verbal communication to shut the fuck about any politics, they can’t stfu.

I’ve endured years of deliberate misgendering/deadnaming (that family member refuses to come anymore) that occurs every chance they can, at every opportunity, multiple times at every gathering especially since that family member’s been driven off.

That’s on top of outright gloating, wearing MAGA gear from head to toe, and “gifting” Traitor merch while laughing at the reactions.

They’re the family matriarchs/patriarchs so kicking them out has been met with resistance. “Patience” my ass. That’s just really condescending and you know not of what you speak 🙄
