Not gonna lie man, some of these news articles lately sound like FUD to me.
Anyone who has a political or religious motivation that seeks to gain your trust over friends and even family is not who they say they are, but a cult leader. I'd like to think that we don't have that many people who are THAT fucking stupid even on the planet, let alone in a single country that is not even heavily populated in comparison to others.
Clearly you haven't had a political discussion with a Trump supporting family member. It doesn't matter that they trust you on other topics. It doesn't matter how many facts, how much data, the actual vote counts on bills, etc you show them. The word of Trump might as well be God's to them.
I've had family members who supported trump during the 2016 election, but they all stopped supporting him.
Because they are sane, normal human beings. Arguably I'm the least sane of them by a mile and I am still not stupid enough to believe this shit.
Bruh your lucky. I have some family members and co-workers that unironically believe democrats bath in the blood of children and have Satanic sex orgy rituals where they sacrifice kids to the devil.
They think Trump is the literal, like no joke, literal second coming of Christ. I live in the south but not even deep south and this is like, regular shit I hear from them. Nothing I say matters, they'd rather belive whatever fox news or Q says. It's heartbreaking and it annoys me greatly when people say I should just "talk to them, or show them the facts". Like bitch do you think I haven't? They don't care about facts, in their minds Republican party is the party of Jesus, and anyone who represents Jesus can't be wrong or lie, that is as far as the thought process goes, then they start telling me to watch out for all those Indians and middle easterns moving in and to be careful in "those" neighborhoods...
Sorry, kinda went on a rant, it just hurts seeing how the people I grew up with telling me to be kind and tolerant and skeptical of things people say acting like this.
I live in the deep south (as deep as it gets) but admittedly I dont know a lot of people who worship trump because I tend to stay away from political discussions in person.
Unfortunately it is for more of my own safety. The political climate is more radical than ever on both sides, to the point where even politicians are more sane than their followers (key word there).
People are so uneducated politically speaking that they worship people who actually went against their views because they were essentially told "they were a great guy". Republicans with JFK for instance.
