I'm sure my brother is, another reason that we do not communicate with each other.In my family and among my generation, i.e., Baby Boomers, I can't think of any MAGA types. But among the following generation in my family, it seems to be almost half are MAGAs. Whether it is just some sort reflexive push-back, succuming to peer pressure, or a heart-felt and considered adoption of hard right-wing ideology, I don't know. But I try to avoid political talk at family gatherings. When a nephew routinely walks around with an automatic pistol on his belt, for absolutely no reason at all, I don't really need to ask what his thoughts are on any particular topic of the day.

I can understand that.My lament is I don't know my brothers kids for crap
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.
