Imagine if, instead of half of your country being aligned with the values of the Democratic party, it was in fact more like 70 to 80%. That is what I am living in right now as a Londoner in the UK. My friends, extended family, are all totally brainwashed about this election, and criticise me when I post on social media even when I post evidence of election fraud. I'm losing my mind quite frankly. Everything is locked down due to the virus and yesterday was just depressing. They think you guys are fucking crazy fascists, genuinely.

My immediate family, that is, my mother and father are against it. But....they are the kind of people who believe in keeping the Conservatives in pwoer in order to stop Labour, without realising that the Conservatives and Labour are the same, just different shades of the same. The best equivalent I can think of is the RINOs in Congress. They are also against immigration, but seem to be much more accepting of the status quo than me. They're trying but...they just don't get my arguments about fraud.
It's the media.... confusing people and brainwashing them on purpose. I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that. Luckily most of my friends and family are Trump supporters, but the few that aren't..... I don't respect them much now. I can't believe they are so blind either.
It will be hard but do your best to get them off telly, maybe just for a week. Replace with books, puzzles, walks outside, conversation (safe dull topics, family history, funny stories), card games, fancy tea party, DIY projects, anything. Then ask them how they feel, on day 7.
