Politics was part of it but not all of it — honestly not most of it — for me. Granted, I’ve been no-contact with my parents since Trump’s first term so politics definitely would’ve heated up since then if we were still talking. But it was a death by a thousand cuts sort of thing. The liberalism contributed to some of the other issues (like them pretending to be less homophobic than they actually were, or hating my partner for being a retail worker instead of being PMC or whatever) and they were starting to get weirdly prepper and conspiracy-brained around when I realized our relationship was unsalvageable and called it quits.
