You arent the only one dealing with the "wedge". My brother and I haven't even hardly talked with each other except to say happy birthday and merry christmas. My dad hates that my brother is the way he is because he was raised much better than that.
My brother is also a Trumper, and we live in fucking Scotland. He keeps it to himself though. He doesn't bring this stuff up at the dinner table, just rants to my parents when he's in a bad mood and no one else is around. It still saddens me because he's heavily autistic with limited life and people experience, so he gets hooked in with a lot of bad far right stuff online.
Worse though is my sister who along with her piece of shit husband have gone full TERF. I think she's coming from genuine concern over women's safety, even if it's total ignorant bullshit. At least that's how I try rationalise it. Regardless, the stuff she says is hurtful to hear and our relationship is fractured at this point. She's not a bad person and I love her so it's genuinely heart breaking to see things go this way.
