MAGA friends and family refused to hear me. That is the problem. I don't care about their so-called "views," but MAGA means they will not listen to anything I have to say. They hold that, and me, and everyone I care about, in contempt, murderous contempt. They are promoting abuse and cruelty, and doing that gleefully. That is not just a "different opinion." That is a dangerous cult. That is a lynch mob.
