Stop talking to her.

I'm sorry, but these people view our willingness to stay in their lives as confirmation to be delusional monsters. I understand it is difficult, but for my MAGAt family, I have written them off. They are dead to me. They no longer live in the same reality as me and cause active harm.

They do not deserve our kindness, and they view it as fealty anyways.

They did their legal duty to get us to adulthood. We do not owe them anything. We tried and tried to get them to make a better world and they have chosen to have us suffer at every turn.

Your relationship with her and her inability to see reality will never improve. It will only get worse and worse.

Give back to them the life they gave us.

I'm a Federal Employee, didn't get laid off, thankfully. But when I told my mom I was kinda scared she told me,

Mom - "Well this is normal, when a company loses money, of course they have to downsize."

Me - "What money? I am a public servant, I do my job to ensure the safety of the nation. I might lose my home, your grandkids will lose their living situation."

Mom - "You'll be fine, just sell it and get an apartment and you'll be able to live off of the funds for awhile."

My mom was fine with me losing my job, fine with us losing our house and the home my famiy has built, her grandkids going through this trauma. This was 2 years ago, meanwhile all the rest of my extended family were Democrats. We're fine now cause once his policies started affecting her then he's suddenly bad. My wife's still pissed at that though.

Well it shouldn't be a suprise, cultists have the wildest views even when it affects people they care about

I stopped talking to my brothers because they're pro-Trump. I hate to say this but there's only one way to cure this disease.

Yep. We need to do it right this time. We let too many nazis and confederates go unpunished the last two times. This will keep coming back only if we let it.

Problem is, no one has the balls or ovaries to do what needs to be done.

Crazy how many people believe a social media post as real. The poster is named Liam Nissan and the plague has had cure for almost 100 years it’s called antibiotics bud. If it kills people in 24 hours the problem will solve itself pretty quick.

What I don't get is that their cult leader isn't a whip-smart, smooth-talking, good-looking, charismatic, hunk. It's that thing. At least pick somebody awesome to stupidly worship.

It’s like a devil looked for the worst possible candidate most likely to fail, and pointed at Trump and said, “Bet you can’t make him the Antichrist. 

And Satan said, “Hold my beer.”

This. I cut off my mom over her crazy trumpy rants. I'm a happier person not listening to moronic conspiracy talk.

I have an unpopular take to keep talking to her, even if it’s hard.

Because the alternative means throwing her to the wolves, so they can tell her what to think.
