My family includes a lot of different perspectives on things. I think all families do....the trick is to realize that these are people you care about or you wouldn't be spending time with them. If you dislike them so much, don't go. Most importantly though, we all need to realize that whatever those different perspectives are, we need to stop attributing motives like "ists." If Aunt Jill thinks something differently than I do, I'm going to assume it's for a more logical reason than just dislike for someone else. I may not agree, but her reasoning could be something I had never even thought of....and shocker, it could even make a little sense when I really think about it from her life and perspective....even if it's misguided.
