Perhaps in private, but not if you remind them.

Consider this. Your asshole detestable uncle loses his house. On the one hand you can text him and say you deserve what you get you piece of shit.

Or invite him over to watch a baseball game. Avoid politics. Quietly remind him not everyone is a piece of shit.

Which do you think will more likely change his mind? Or which one will he double down on, write it off as an accident, and go deeper down the hole. I took one for the team.
