Since tomorrow is Christmas I thought I would post this in case you have any MAGA relatives who will be over.

    The article says you can set boundaries, withdraw from painful conversations, and protect your peace. If you care about them, the tethers, even thin and fragile strands of connection, can be vital in their finding their way out of the cult. This year especially, a whole lot of people are figuring out that they helped put a pedofile baby murderer into the White House.

    Most won’t believe it, but some will reconnect with cut off friends and family.

      I’m saying I don’t think they’re in a cult I just think they’re assholes.

      I also do not think they “helped” a pedophile baby murderer do anything. I think that the American people have zero power and we are living under real fascism, not the kind in the movies that a hero can defeat all by himself or that a singular revolution can easily quell. I believe we are living under fascism in real life, really for reals.

      If you reconnect with these people, they will probably find some other way to be an asshole and impose their blowhard nature onto other people. Don’t cut them off for “helping” a billionaire do something (because they didnt, he was going to do it anyway, because he can, he’s a billionaire) cut them off because they like IRL trolling people and making them angry. If it wasn’t Trump, they’d find something else.
