    Welcome to the club my friend. My mom has been this way for years and will no doubt die believing that this election was stolen from Trump due to fraud. It’s completely insane. She has a PHD. I kill her in every argument we have and at the end she still refuses to see the light. There’s likely no way of saving ppl that far gone.

    At this point I just refuse to talk about politics with her because it’s infuriating. I could understand if she had valid points, but it’s always Fox News pundits, infowars, Glenn Beck, Rush, Trump and oan news. Been before I even knew what that channel was she told me to watch it because they had such great unbiased news. I watched one segment and couldn’t even believe the propaganda.

    nothing wrong with a lot of conspiracy theories, but if you’re spoon fed your theories from a major news channel you’re even more lost than if you don’t believe any at all.

    ask them how the election would be a fraud but not the senate elections

    I don't get this argument. It's basically admitting that millions of people filled out the ballot for Biden and left the rest of it blank

    Shouldn’t be hard for you to discredit infowars. Tell them how Infowars reported that Sandy Hook was staged.

    in 2020 fox news and cnn put out conspiracy theories and infowars are supposed to be nonpartisan, but ultimately i have no idea what the f*** youre saying.

    They believe that the election was fraud(even though my mother used her mail in ballot) than when asked to give actual evidence to how trump could be winning, she presented me with Newt Gingrich & infowars

    Now she sent me some claim how aoc & the Democrats are making a kill list of trump donators, that comes from the gateway pundit, aka Jim Hoft

    I’m scared 🥺🥺

    Edit: My dad, while upset is understanding & is not being duped by conspiracy theorists

    man tell me about it. My parents nigerian but somehow they got corrupted into the mess. Their mostly socially conservative and don't really like trump just like that republicans are pro life and anti lgbtq so they wouldn't even vote otherwise. It's disgusting. Like they no the s*** the side they prefer spews is bullshit but overlook it and fall for the propaganda. I can't make sense of it.
