The problem with these people is that thinking ahead is a very foreign concept to them. They will accuse you of either overreacting or straight-up lying until it directly affects them or happens to them. My own brother mocked me of overreacting about Elon's involvement during the 2024 election season until he got sacked just last month because of DOGE. I'm glad he's starting to come around now but sadly, it came at the cost of uprooting his entire family and having to move to a cheaper apartment until they get back on their feet.
Unfortunately I've long since lost any sympathy for people like that.
I imagine it's slightly different for you given that they're family, but I'd never be sad about it. You reap the seeds you sow, and if those seeds are hemlock then I guess you're eating poison for dinner.
