I’m curious about your perspective on this: how would you handle pro-MAGA folks in your family? I’ve tried the gentle approach (aiming for a discussion) and the angry approach (yelling and cussing at my brother-in-law on Christmas Day). Part of me wants to cut them out, but I also want to show my young nieces and nephews that there’s an alternative. I want them to know they have family that isn’t crazy, and that I’m here for them if they need out. (They’re between 1-11yrs old)
Tell me Mona how do you cultivate joy in your life whilst confronting the fuckery? Are you able to do the despair and rage as well as the joy?
