It's a cult. My parents became super religious out of nowhere in 2016 began worshiping Trump like he's a demigod. I regrettedly visited them with a few months ago and now they're prepping for civil war with "people from the cities". When mental illness reaches this point of criticality, there's no point of return. They simply live in a different reality. Voting republican is an existential crisis to them within their Qanon-based media bubble.
I'm thankful I don't have to have these discussions with my dad who passed in 2012; I have a bad feeling he'd be all maga.
that's a really tough experience; best luck with the future as the shitshow progresses; it's so fucked up that these want to be patriots are destroying this country.
I'm sorry that you lost your father so long ago :/ However, you do make a solid point. Watching your parents slowly lose their minds might be ultimately more painful in the long run. My parents were always abusive white trash, but now I don't even recognize them anymore. I guess decades of alcoholism and hatred will do that do to a person..
