Caveat: My conservative family is in the UK, not America. I’ve found they don’t really care. Jobs are boring, particularly if you don’t have anything tangible to show for it. It’s not the politics, it’s just that it’s all too abstract. It can be a little heartbreaking when it’s something you want to share - a big win, a promotion, etc - but the way I’ve managed to keep my friendships and family is to genuinely meet people where they’re at, and where they’re at is that it’s not a thing. Your people might want you to justify yourself more, of course, but I imagine being down to earth and chill will go a longer way than trying to explain and persuade.
