How does everyone here deal with and handle their MAGA family members?

So how do we make sure we don’t go down that route.Well, my retired and elderly MAGA parents spend countless hours being indoctrinated by Fox lies daily.
But decades ago, when my grandmother was the same age, she got hypnotized by the televangelists and was sending money she could not spare. My mother pleaded with us kids, that if she ever got to that point of deception and hysterics, we had to promise to let her know.
Well, my sister and I did. It did not go over well. We still love our parents as family and what they did for us. We have never discussed Trump again. My father tries to joke using the Fox propaganda. We just ignore it. Their mental capacities and reasoning are shot at their ages and health issues. They are easy targets and can not be saved.
They both know I was a lifelong Republican before MAGA. My sister is liberal and became even more so as a lawyer and seeing the imbalance towards those of color. But my parents wouldn't even listen to me. They are as vulnerable to the cult as they are phone, text, and email scams at this point.
My FIL is the similar, he's 85 and really doesn't think well. And he has ni spine, he believes everything the wonderful church members, who've screwed him multiple times, say.Well, my retired and elderly MAGA parents spend countless hours being indoctrinated by Fox lies daily.

This makes the fact they are in a cult even worse.All of my family, in laws, siblings and nieces and nephews are MAGA. All are college educated, several with graduate degrees with one nephew in medical school. Lone exception is my son, who is a Romney type liberal who hates Trump.
This counters ya’ll’s tireless narrative that MAGA are all ignorant, uneducated rednecks (not that there’s anything wrong with that) whom polite society should shun.

sad yet patheticOh, I love them deeply. It’s like a bond. It feels good knowing they're not brainwashed by mainstream media and they love their country.
How do you feel about the transgender rats?Oh, I love them deeply. Its like a bond. It feels good knowing they're not brainwashed by mainstream media and they love their country.

You don't question a person that could vote for Clinton and Trump? Sort of a clear indicator that they don't really have conviction in their beliefs.Dems had no issue with these folks when they were voting for Clinton and the Dems. Yet, they are shunned and mocked when they switched sides.

Find one post on this board that makes the claim “MAGA are all ignorant, uneducated rednecks”. Just one. If it’s a “tireless narrative” this must be a piece of cake to find. Bring one. Just one.This counters ya’ll’s tireless narrative that MAGA are all ignorant, uneducated rednecks (not that there’s anything wrong with that) whom polite society should shun.
