What began as debates around the dinner table ended with her family falling apart and her father getting the longest jail sentence ever for his involvement in the Capitol riot.
The young woman from Texas said that American family life in the age of Trump has become toxic.
When her brother, Jackson Reffitt, turned his father in to the FBI, the family's disintegration began.
After the Capitol riot in 2021, Guy Reffitt told Jackson and his brother that they would betraitors if they turned him in.
Jackson tipped off the FBI about his father's right-wing rhetoric in December 2020.
"We are an example of how the modern American family is becoming more fragile as the political climate rises," he said. There isn't enough protection for American families from the effects of misinformation.
Many of Guy Reffitt's friends joined the January 6 insurrection.
According to the myth, only 3% of colonists fought in the Revolutionary War. Members view themselves as modern-day versions of those revolutionaries who fought against the US government.
The longest prison sentence ever given to a Capitol rioter was seven years and three months given to Guy Reffitt. He was found guilty of threatening his children and carrying a weapon into congress.
On the steps of the courthouse, after their father was sentenced, Peyton and Sarah tried to make sense of what happened to their family. On social media, they went crazy when they said that Trump deserved life in prison if his father was in prison for a long time.
In a power struggle, her family and other people like them have been treated as pawns.
My father's actions on January 6 are not solely the responsibility of the former president. She told Insider in a text that she believed he used orchestrated language that used subliminal projection to appeal to his supporters.
It would only be for former President Trump to be convicted and serve the longest sentence about the events that took place on January 6, 2021.
A majority of Americans think that Trump should be charged on January 6.
She said that a prison sentence for Trump would be the accountability to set a true precedent for our future as a nation.
Families and friends have been destroyed by the rise of misinformation and conspiracy theories.
According to a poll conducted in the first few months of the Trump presidency, 16 percent of respondents stopped communicating with friends and family after the election.
Trump is like the catalyst of an earthquake that just divided two continents of thought, according to a bartender in North Carolina. There is no going back once the Earth splits.
Even though her father is in prison and her brother is not with her, she still believes that her family can heal in time.
She said that as a family, we don't need to understand each other to the fullest extent, but to appreciate each other's differences is a great lesson.
