The difference being made is that I've taken charge of the sphere of people with influence in my life more effectively and assertively than at any time in my many decades, and I refuse to be shamed for not allowing them in. (not suggesting you personally are, but it seems an increasingly popular position)
Have they noticed? Some of them probably have. I have a complicated family life with a lot of obligations. We don't socialize much anyway. I don't really care if they have or not though. This is a decision I have made for myself.
Me? Certainly not. In aggregate though? Maybe. I think it's is a silent movement. I read and/or hear throwaway comments about people dodging their maga friends and relatives all the time. So, it probably is an inflection point of some kind.
They had years to be reasonable. They had years to pull their head out of their ass. They had years to remember their humanity. And even today they still haven't.
I antagonize no one I meet, but I'm not letting that into my life anymore. Other people can pan the magas for gold.
