She is Trump supporter, MAGA and based in almost every way. Except in one way.
She is a big time cuck when it comes to the virus, yelling and cursing family members out behind their backs when they get together for holidays or don't wear masks and follow exact quarantine protocols. Her rage has only become more inflamed since recently one of my great aunts, who was 80, died in the hospital while having the virus.
I have told her repeatedly that I think the virus/quarantine is exaggerated to give the elites more control over us, which she seems to vaguely recognize is a possibility, but then she goes back into meltdown mode a day later and seems surprised I'm not as outraged as she is.
Normally she is one of the more reasonable people in my family, but every time she goes on a rant about this I am suddenly reminded of all the posts on TD mocking leftists who act like this.
Woah.... Are you.... Me?
Self? Is that you?
Shit man I have the same damned problem.... Even down to the aunt (hers) in 80's who is hospitalized (still living though, atm) with wuflu....
My mother is also hoping to get the Vax ASAP.... damn I don't know how or why, but even as a Trump supporter, she watches CNN and other MSM.... I don't understand it.
One suggestion for you, or for me:maybe show her something from doctor Scott Barbour. He seems to speak intelligently about the nonsense of the virus. There was a good vid on youtube on cirstenw chan, which is now nuked, but maybe it can be found elsewhere somehow. Or if not Jim, another of the doctors who are realistic about this bullshit....only issue I have in doing this myself is that she gets offended when I try to go against narrative of MSM on "the virus"....
Best of luck fren, and to others. I know we aren't alone in this problem.
Thanks fren, I really appreciate it!
I'm not entirely sure how she feels about the vaccine. Thankfully she seems a little uncertain and non-committal on it the couple of times we've brought it up.
