My dad's whole personality at this point is politics. It's not as bad as my grandma who's is openly homophobic, transphobic and racist to the point where she talks about it publicly. I made the decision a few months ago to block her, but I feel guilty about it sometimes because I feel like I'm not giving her a chance. Like, I didn't even give her a chance to accept me.
Also, my dad said today that Trump supports everyone and not just those who support him. He said this in response to myself saying that while not every conservative person is homophobic, those who are just happen to be republican. I feel like we can't go an entire day without having a conversation about politics, and tbh it's never positive. I grew up having to listen to my grandma spew hateful ****, in public, no less. I remember having to pretend that I had no idea who she was as a child because she would say the most embarrassing or blatantly hateful things. My dad doesn't do it in public, but sometimes I'll hear a derogatory word from the other room and he'll openly root against someone else due to their ethnicity or skin color (ie: on Family Feud or WWE, for example). I question him about it, and he'll just brush it off like "I'm not racist, I just hate [insert word you can probably guess here.]"

I’ve been struggling with tension for years, probably due to stress and anxiety. If it’s cheaper or you have a bath at home, going to a spa or using epsom salts does wonders. I’m not sure if you’re sensory adverse to heat/wet, but I loooove a hot pool. Otherwise for small areas, a wheat bag works really well too. If you have tension in your shoulders, doing exercises also helps as well. Just thought I’d put out a few options that might help and might be cheaper for you
