I have the same problem every Christmas.
My cousin's husband may as well be in the klan. He wore a MAGA hat last Christmas. As it turns out, this bigot just found out his son is gay. To his credit, he has accepted the situation and his son and boyfriend were at the party.
He called me a liberal and started down that racist bullshit and immigration. My reply, "I'm always a liberal because I always support everyone's rights and the tolerance that goes with it. I don't just become a "liberal of convenience" like you because now someone in your family needs that same support that liberals like me give everyone, freely and without reservation."
That ended the discussion and you could hear a pin drop in the room.
