I found out today that the reason why some of my relatives don’t want to invite me over for Christmas is because they don’t think I’m for democracy (because I don’t want to wear a mask, because I petitioned to recall a local politician, because I’m an “election denier”, because im so truth based that Pinocchio would not stand a chance with me in a debate, etc.). I’m planning to invite myself (and family) over anyway, even if we have to ‘crash the party’. Any advice on how my GAW frens would handle this one? Thanks! in advance!

My response is likely not the one you're looking for, but I wouldn't go somewhere I'm not wanted. Instead, I'd make a happy holiday for myself.
Full disclosure: Due to a lot of dysfunctional behavior in my immediate family, I absented myself from all but one sister 21 years ago, and I've spent a lot of holidays at home, just me and my cats and horses. I always cook something special, watch holiday movies, read a book or anything else that appeals to me. I avoid the stress of travel and dealing with stress-inducing people.
