Calls to Cut Ties with Trump-Voting Relatives Stir Controversy

Some public figures advocate for shunning family members who supported Trump, sparking debates on division and understanding.

Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun and MSNBC host Joy Reid discussed avoiding interactions with Trump-voting relatives during the holidays.
Critics argue that isolating from family over political differences could increase societal division and ignorance.
Prominent figures like Sunny Hostin and George Takei support the idea, citing moral and personal reasons for distancing.
Opponents liken the encouragement to cut ties to cult-like behavior that discourages understanding and reconciliation.
The debate highlights broader tensions in American society following Donald Trump's recent political resurgence.
