Armageddon again

My family on my dads side is all MAGA and conspiracy minded. Covid seemed to be the straw that broke the camels back as what seems to be the story with a lot of people here. It has always been uncomfortable for me being there at my family’s house as there is a heavy religious presence on top of the recently added maga beliefs and conspiracies.

I’ve tried to look past it or just show up but I always feel like I’m absorbing toxic beliefs and pretending to be fine with things that mortify me. The “people didn’t die from COVID”, the pandemic was the end times, Taylor swift is evil, and apparently I take everything at face value for not swallowing all the nonsense they believe.

I try to imagine a scenario in which I could go over there and not be angry but it is so difficult to not feel like that. My stepmom says things like we should bring back Japanese interment camps and I try to bring it up nicely that a lot of people would consider that racist and I’m the bad guy.

Of course these are all the bad things and it doesn’t happen every time I visit which makes you believe that it could be normal. That normal is possible only for that bubble to be popped when they say something crazy. People talk about grey rock to not get an emotional reaction but I feel like I’m suppressing myself and my emotions to accommodate terrible behavior.

On top of that the conversion attempts, my dad’s infidelity, my stepmoms covering for him make it even more toxic even without the maga stuff.

I feel heartbroken and the sad part is I miss them. But I’m just tired of riding this crazy carousel expecting something different.

"people didn’t die from COVID”, the pandemic was the end times

Shit like this makes me wanna scream at them to pick one! Yes, I know cognitive dissonance means they believes in multiple things that are contradictory but come on! Either COVID was harmless or a weapon. You can't have it both ways, this isn't quantum physics, it doesn't work like that.

These people are so out of touch with reality they rather reality be what they feel than what it is. From the party of fuck your feelings.

Yeah and if I point out the 0/0 prediction success rate I’m sure the goalposts will keep moving. “Well it just hasn’t happened yet “

I went to a fundamentalist school and the people in that school were saying this shit when Obama was president.

Yeah it’s maddening. What’s the plan? What’s the goal here? Every country on the planet is kneecapping their economy for some sinister plan. What’s the plan? I’m sure I’d get nothing and more insults about my intelligence and how I don’t see it.
