You might check on your trump supporting relatives. It's been eight years since the start of this and when it started most of them were already on the mental decline. (lemmy.world)

Just getting really unhinged and confused messages from my parents. They are holding on by a thread. I don't even think they know who Musk is.

My Trump supporting relatives can swim in their own cesspool. If they show even a hint of self-awareness then I may be moved to care or offer support.

However while they cling to that belief system, they are on their own. Karma is a bitch, ain’t she?

Yeah, they chose this over a relationship with us. They get to enjoy the fruits of that choice for the rest of their lives.

The US have collectively lost their mind. It's only going downhill from here.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

A portion of the US... But yes, it seems down is the current direction. The rest of us are angry, scared, and wondering... How far? How fast? What's at the bottom? How do we get our ducks in a row before midterms?

It started around 9/11 for me, but maybe because I started paying attention. Before that I didn't even care what they said. After that, it's like watching the asylum.

Who do you think wrote the Patriot act...hint ( heritage assholes.. they used 9/11 to pass it.)

[–] DrBabyJesus@lemm.ee 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s difficult. My dad honestly raised me to be a loving human being, but seeing him support this shit is going against everything he taught his kids about being good people. But I don’t know if he could have that conversation in good faith. I’ve debated writing him a letter but who knows.

I just think it's clarity on what we are dealing with.
