Just getting really unhinged and confused messages from my parents. They are holding on by a thread. I don’t even think they know who Musk is.

    My Trump supporting relatives can swim in their own cesspool. If they show even a hint of self-awareness then I may be moved to care or offer support.

    However while they cling to that belief system, they are on their own. Karma is a bitch, ain’t she?

      Yeah, they chose this over a relationship with us. They get to enjoy the fruits of that choice for the rest of their lives.

        It is much easier to break sticks one at at time and not as a bundle. The enemy’s playbook hinges on manipulation and deception. If you turn your backs on even your own flesh and blood, then the enemy already controls you as well.

      A portion of the US… But yes, it seems down is the current direction. The rest of us are angry, scared, and wondering… How far? How fast? What’s at the bottom? How do we get our ducks in a row before midterms?

      It started around 9/11 for me, but maybe because I started paying attention. Before that I didn’t even care what they said. After that, it’s like watching the asylum.

    It’s difficult. My dad honestly raised me to be a loving human being, but seeing him support this shit is going against everything he taught his kids about being good people. But I don’t know if he could have that conversation in good faith. I’ve debated writing him a letter but who knows.
