You are not alone. The Great Awakening has elements that are really hard and not great at all. I have lost 99% of my friends probably forever and at least 2/3 of my family either because they only see me as a "Trumper" or a conspiracy theorist or an antivaxer.
Most of these folks I dont really miss, I see how toxic and shallow they are and cant believe I never saw it before and my life is better with them out of it. There are a few others I truly miss. I made a decision to mend these bridges starting Jan 1 this year. Not by reaching out in person or by apologizing for my views but just sending a "thinking of you" card and birthday cards with a few friendly updates about the kids or activities. I will continue to do this, tho none have reached back to me I feel better keeping the door open. These are people I know will wake up as soon as the truth comes out. Hang in there. Praying for you and all of us who have been hurt by people who dont know any better.
