Just got off the phone with my mom who was so upset at Trump's acquittal that she was screaming at me at the top of her lungs for trying to convince her that he is innocent. Anytime I tried to logically explain to her how the things she was led to believe are incorrect, it was met with seething anger that escalated the longer the conversation went on. it eventually ended with her hanging up on me and calling me one of them. it's genuinely breaking my heart what's happening to my family and just wanted to vent. Anyone else that feels like sharing their story is more than welcome to and I also welcome any advice on how to deal with the situation while keeping my family intact.

Im sorry about your mother's retardation. Unfortunately, there is no cure for TDS.
Thank you for your help you are doing the Lord's work. I guess I'll just go ahead and write my family off as a loss.
Family is more important than politics. Give her a little time, and then touch base. Try to keep off politics. If she brings it up, tell her "Mom, you know I love you, and you know that I am an ethical and decent person. I'm not going to talk about this, if you are going to yell at me."
I was being sarcastic. There's no way I would ever turn my back on my family. Just wanted to give it backhanded complement to the person calling my mom retarded is all.
I mean, maybe just a little bit retarded...
My family has already gone Home ahead if me. Grandparents, parents, aunts uncles brothers sisters husband 2 children. I wish I had someone to call me . The dog always agrees with me
My inbox is cleaner and my phone bills are lower.
My family has been torn apart by this shit. We were all close before they were brainwashed.
Turn that shit off. I have not watched mainstream media for almost 20 years.
One piece of advice I heard and try to put into practice is not to mention Trump by name (will trigger idiots) but talk about policy. They will never admit that anything advocated by Trump is logical or good once it has his name attached, but they may be able to see the validity of the policy position. You can then low key connect it to Trump and then stop talking. The truth may sink in eventually. They are brainwashed, so cut them some slack. Love them anyway. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice pede. I'll have to give that a try. Only problem is she never mentions policy at all only regurgitates what she hears on the news about orange man bad. I'll try to work it in somehow though.
You need a better mother
