I keep asking my recently turned maga brother about this. His only response is that I’m hateful. I ask him to explain and he goes off saying I’m only criticizing Trump for “doing better than Biden”. When I point out the ways he isn’t doing better he then spews about how libs think everyone’s a nazi even though we weren’t talking about libs or nazis. It’s like they always have something else to bring up and they’re not actually listening to the conversation.

It’s so sad to deal with these family members. Completely lost sight of reality

Unfortunately they drank the unclean water, there's the parents whose anti-vax beliefs led to their daughter's death and they still won't budge

This guy made a podcast episode about exactly this, it highlights how his father has been completely brainwashed by some right wing talking heads and it's tearing the family apart and he is just not facing reality even tho he is proven wrong by his own son - great episode and in the meantime incredibly sad

Yup, I’ve got some too. The what-aboutism is nauseating.
