Things more likely to kill you include driving a car, killed by a tornado, being a woman married to a man, etc.

Not to say if your mental health is better for cutting a family member off because they are a Trump supporter you shouldn't, but the fear of being killed by one off of a single example is a bad risk assessment. I cut my dad off more than 2 decades ago for my mental health so no shame for anyone who does that.

Maga people are pointing to the killings in Canada being proof that trans people are dangerous. I assume most of us wouldn't agree with that take.
