Boring or retired relatives whose only purpose is to consume political media. They periodically call you and proceed to rot your brain you with whatever hate, fear, or gossip they feel needs to be spread. Your mind then spins for days as you realize you are slowing losing respect for someone you once perceived as wise. It's like a perpetual low-grade mourning.
By moving abroad and being in a different time zone you have a good excuse not to take their phone calls anymore and/or keep them short. With your mind clear you can then write cleaner code faster and be happy.
A former president added 3 justices to the Supreme Court and hundreds to the federal judiciary, and those appointees are now shielding him from prosecution for his crimes.
In his current campaign, he has discussed discarding the Constitution and has schemed to throw out election results that don't favor him.
He openly admires foreign fascists and enemies of the US, including Putin and Orban. His last attempt at ending peaceful democratic transitions of power only failed because his vice president was more loyal to the US than to him.
Many people are rightfully worried that he will win and end peaceful democracy in the US, which he has openly promised to do by refusing to accept any unfavorable election results.
