43% would be not at all willing to date someone who had opposing views on Donald Trump. Many say the same for the Capitol attack (39%), DEI (37%), abortion (37%), and gender roles (37%).
That’s rough, sorry you have that problem. I have a similar thing with my mom and her trump loving b/f. The holidays usually last about 1 hour before I leave.
yUgh. That sounds even worse. You have my sympathy.
It’s a weird thing about this era. In the past, I would’ve tried to argue with them about their views, but at this point, it’s effectively impossible, since we don’t even share a reality. They live in a world in which, for instance, Kamala Harris is a DEI hire who got appointed as the candidate by Biden, who’ in turn is still working for the Obamas, and she lost because she’s a socialist.
Thanks, I have stopped even trying to make sense of their world. I just get up, say my good-bye to the rest of the family, and leave. It’s kinda all you can do, they will try to pull you down to their level and then beat you with experience. Your situation is bonkers for sure.

Where do you even start with something like that?
