That’s awful

There's an older video from the channel Renegade Cut called "Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Conspiracy Theorist Right." It's not exactly current, but it helped me understand how my father got wrapped up in all this stuff, including flat earth 🤦
-
Bro, just present your arguments in the form of a conspiracy. She will love it
-
Parents use to tell us kids to be careful on the internet, now the kids are having to do the same for the parents. How the tides have shifted. I miss the great haydays of the internet.

The best way is to encourage them to find the truth. At some point they will back out of the rabbit hole
-
Love the thumbnail pics
-
When thinking of confronting someone going through conspiracy spirals, keep in mind the parable of the wind and the sun: trying to force someone to change their habit will make them cling to it all the more.
-
Seems like a problem a lot of people are having right now all over the world. Scary times
-
My mother’s been a conspiracy theorist for ages. I try to just tell her that I don’t want to talk about that stuff. 🤣😂
-
Mine is almost 90. She mainlines Fox News at full volume. It's... unbearable. She goes on and on about, "Just look at what they're doing to him!" And she's only the most hardcore MAGA in my immediate family because my brother passed a few years ago. Some people reach a point where there's just not much you can do or say. All we can do is bring the facts to those who are willing and able to consider them. I'm voting 💙 all the way around in November.

David is right. Don’t confront your mom head on. You are better off asking questions where she gets her source of information (probably Fox News) and learn more about her thinking process. This can’t be done all at once. Take it small conversations or she will start resisting.

Ive been having this issue with alot of ppl lately
-
Conspiracy about what exactly?
-
Their all brainwashed
-
It may be time to consider putting her in a retirement home.
-
Asking questions about things that MAGA/Qanon people say is typically viewed as an outright attack on their character. So its a no go with the Socratic method.
-
Interesting commentary.
-
I’m descending into a depression spiral!

This whole country needs mental therapy no matter what side you're on.
