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!

What is family aside from a shared dna and backstory? I know their is nostalgic sentiment there but if they are being toxic to you then treat them like you would anyone else being that way.
You owe it to yourself.
It sounds like you may have kids and a wife and you don't want them to feel left out.
But I dont think you would be doing them any favors with this. Especially if theyll get snarky comments from relatives belittling them and treating them differently. No matter how subtle.
Don't go, pr bring your family, where you are not wanted. Its not good for anyone. Instead be the leader and forge your own happy christmas.
Find happiness and contentment with yourself and/or your kids and spouse.
Else youll never be happy if it must come from social acceptance from your extended family. Not for anyone, even if they have a cool based family. Happiness starts within.
