Current Events > Do you have a family member trapped in the MAGA cult?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Who is it? How did things get this way?

"A"?

hahahahahahahaha

my poor family, my cousin and I are outweighed 10-2

Thankfully no

my dad, my uncle, my brother

Probably, I mostly avoid most of my family these days other than my parents.

At least one cousin.

No, but my mom is a desantis/ anti woke/ terf supporter. She votes Democrat though

Oh yeah. Had an aunt and uncle die to COVID because they were hardcore Trumpist QAnon anti-mask anti-vaxxers. The other ones in my family don't have much to do with us. My aunt sends my mom Ivermectin in the mail for her cancer...

Yep. Dad and my half brother. My Dad is just a dumb Republican purist. Since Reagan. My half brother used Trump and Republican positions to justify his gross and awful opinions on queer people.

I don't talk to the latter anymore.

Sadly i have some distant family members that are Canadian MAGA's, completely full in on the koolaid and believe almost everything trump says and think he is a business genius

Yup my parents and a few of my aunts. Its basically a silent agreement that we dont bring up politics when were around each other and if it is brought up, the other group just nods and smiles and doesnt say anything else.

I have a younger cousin that's the full package: MAGA, always online, have no irl friends, hates minorities (despite being Asian), Jewish people, women (never had a girlfriend), LGBTQ, praises Hitler/the Nazi party, worships Elon Musk, hates "Communists" (but thinks Stalin is based because of course), etc.

Dude's only 23 and he's already way too far gone.

brother in law who literally offered my dad (a known massive Trump hater) a proud boys flag

One of my cousins, his wife, my uncles, several of my aunts are who Im aware of. Also my dad but I have no relationship with him so idc. Theyre all classic cases of immigrants wanting to shut the door behind them.

Is your cousin SMAL?

Family member, no.

But A LOT of the people I work with are DEEP into it.

Shirts, Hats, Stickers. A few of them went to MSG yesterday.

It's rough.

They are more of the "Democrats are Communist" and "Republicans are good for businesses" and not Dumbfuck can do no wrong, but I might as well lump them

Not that Im aware of. I do have one cousin who is a republican but he hates Trumps guts.

My mom and her side of the family is like 90% MAGA outside of like one aunt of mine that's always been liberal. My dad is Republican, but I've talked to him a couple times and I've had him change his mind on a few things.

All my brothers and sister are all varying levels on the left, I'm probably the most liberal out of them all.

My mom and my uncle.

Oddly, even though my mom is a hardcore Trump supporter, she despises Mark Robinson (the nutjob running for NC governor).

My aunt on my mom's side is a full blown maga nutjob that recently went on an incoherent screaming rant at my sister on a family vacation. My uncle on my dad's side is a retired cop who works Trump rallies so also probably pretty hardcore. Most of the rest of the extended family are some degree of trump supporters. I don't talk to them much.

Nope

Several. I haven't spoken to them for many years. Nor do I have any intention of changing that.

My own dad punched me in the face for speaking badly of Trump, so you tell me, >.<

Yes. There is some wealthier family members (some of which straight up married into a bit of money and so they conveniently forgot they struggled in life pre-wealthier partner hook-up) on my dad's side of the family that is the booshie stereotype who all parrot the usual things and glaze trump's rhetoric about jobs, bootstraps (again, conveniently forgetting dating and marrying into money), "I think I give too much money to these less fortunate people who.....*gasp*, get snowcrab legs! with their EBT cards! How dare?!" Only gruel should be allowed with EBT! Cut medicare and medicaid right the hell now!" etc. etc.

They aren't going to change.
