Going no contact is a lot easier than it sounds: the biggest issue is "them" not respecting your new boundaries.

They went full Nazi during his first term. Now, they don't even try to hide it and openly admit that they agree with everything happening.
And delete your Facebook account. It’s just generally better for your mental health, it aids in stopping the cycle of billionaires feeding everyone information by whoever pays them. And then it stops unwanted contact from family. They can still post about you, but they’re screaming into an empty void of data centers at that point
