    What’s even harder is watching family and neighbors try to explain why it’s a good thing.

        From my experience they just say “ that didn’t really happen, that was twisted into a lie, he wouldn’t ever do that “ - these people never, ever admit anything that is proven to be true. It’s always some contrarian, idiotic “ I know better than you “ take. It’s hopeless.

          Yep. ‘What about when Joe Biden made us all wear masks and fired anyone who wouldn’t.’ And then everything gets de-railed trying to explain that Biden was not president at that time.

        Can’t, my grandmother is elderly and I’m the only one of her kids/grandkids who talks to her, not really her fault on that one my mother is insane my uncle was stupid and the other grandkids are more or less different family outside of blood due to custody or cutoff reasons. Also she is also effectively my mother and is the woman who raised me.

        Figure I can work out any frustration by car bombing random trumpers if a civil war breaks out.

        I basically already have (years ago). But when you’ve got family that hasn’t been cut off, the ones who have still manage to make appearances.
