Fuck it, I'd do the same. Potentially 25 years in prison for non-violent crimes is ridiculous. Might as well use the power to prevent it while you still have it.
I wouldn't want the worship, but not being a regular mortal, having powers and omniscience and the like? Sure, I'd like that. Maybe I could make reality suck less for others.
Personally, I'd cut them off as I'm diametrically opposed to fascism and bigotry. But I get that family relationships can be complicated, and if people are dependent on those Trump supporters cutting them off really isn't a viable option. The reality is we're all more isolated than ever, and without some kind of support system, cutting off the few people some have connections with might end up doing more harm than good. We need stronger communities built around opposing the coming tidal wave of crushing hatred - much easier said than done.
DOGE isn't an actual department with any power, as it wasn't created by an act of Congress. I guess Elon's power will just be telling Trump who to fire?
Oh noooo, he suffered a few days and then got to hang out with his dad in heaven for eternity and be worshipped by billions of people. What a sacrifice!
Going no contact or limited contact is a personal decision everyone has to decide for themselves. I'm lucky enough to have boomer parents who aren't hateful/gullible conservatives.
Although even if a person appears to be decent human being, if they voted for Trump that tells you everything you need to know about who they really are. The whole "when people tell you who they are, believe them" deal.

It is ethical? Probably not. But we're about to dive headfirst into fascism. The voters have spoken, and ethics means nothing to them. So be it.
