There comes a point in a person’s life when they have to confront their parents or that crazy relative about their insane and damaging beliefs. This is that time for millennials. The boomers had it easy and they robbed us in our infancy. I don’t care which side of the aisle you side with: Trumpism is damaging to the entire nation, and cannot be allowed to go any further.
The scary thing is, it’s NOT just “old” people, I know a surprising number folks in their 20-30’s that are all-in on Trump and the conspiracy theories.
I’ve been confronting them my whole life. I’m tired. My mother is into certain weird propaganda stuff, but it’s only been recently after an extremely traumatic event. I try to reign it in, as much as im able, but I don’t fight her. I give her something more concrete to put her frustration in.
Everything doesn’t have to be some big conspiracy. There fucked up people doing fucked up shit in broad daylight. I think the conspiracy is a way to avoid coming to terms with how actual fucked we are, and as a buffer between them and their life and emotions. All fueled by propaganda. Shits effective. I feel it hitting me everyday.
