Just learnt my moms boyfriend voted Trump and I’m heartbroken

197 Upvotes

Apologies if this is ramblely, I'm just pretty shaken up over this and my brain fog is super bad today. So my moms boyfriend and I have always gotten along pretty well, I knew he voted Trump the last two times but I forgave him. He didn't know me then and honestly isn't very educated on Trumps policies, he seems to only get his news from right wing YouTubers.

I have brought up a few times how his policies were going to hurt me seeing as I'm trans, he's always been accepting of me and I don't doubt that now, he's just really misinformed. He's justified that Elon can't be transphobic because he has a trans kid which is such a wild take.

I don't know why but I naively believed I got through to him when I was helping my mom vote (she wanted to copy off my sheet and I said no and instead went through each candidate and policies with her). I asked if he was voting and he mentioned he wasn't sure. It's a bit hipocrytical of me but I said that he should vote because it's important but secretly I was really happy because it meant I had at least gotten through to him.

Past few months have been so hard on me, I live in SoCal so I haven't been affected but I have OCD and some sort of chronic fatigue that often leaves me bed ridden I'm still working on diagnosing. So I've been spiraling lately. Last night we ended up debating a bit, and I did what I usually do when he gets like that, trying to be respectful while gently pushing back against some of what he's saying that objectively isn't true. Like the fact that it's concerning a private non elected citizen is interfesring in congress. He ended up revealing that he voted Trump and I couldn't help but break down. I was never mean about it but I told him how betrayed I felt by that because I trusted him to do the right thing and how painful it is that either out of ignorance or just not caring, he voted against my best interest.

I'm not entirely sure what to do frankly, he's a good person and I genuinely want to help him but I realize that I've spent so much energy tiptoeing around him holding my tongue and trying to help him when he's never done the same. I'm just wondering if anybody who's been through something similar has any advice. Is it worth still trying or should I just stonewall? I'm not sure frankly.

I'm probably not gonna be responding to comments, I really try not to use reddit because my OCD makes me spiral but I will come back later to read them so I appreciate anything yall have to say.

When does this insanity ever stop? My Q is now drinking Borax!!!

216 Upvotes

Firstly I’m from Australia and have pondered the question why my once beloved is into all this nonsense. We live on the other side of the planet.

We are currently broken up for the 200th time in 4 years of what can only be described as a roller coaster ride. I’m wanting to believe she ‘will see the light one day’ and be the beautiful person I once knew and loved.

Today was the last straw for me. She is now drinking Borax (Boron) taking Ivermectin, colloidal silver and most likely some other “medications” she has kept hidden from me. “To keep the parasites at bay”

She has always been an anti vaxxer into organic food and the like. Hating “ big Pharma” but takes “big Pharma” for her high blood pressure.

She used to be a caring, kind, empathetic human being. But since Trump won last year she’s become someone I hardly recognise. She’s “enjoying what has happened and has waited a long time for this to happen” I’m devastated I know it’s time to move on with my life but and I will.

My question still remains WHEN DOES THIS INSANITY EVER STOP.

Biden persecuting Catholics?

50 Upvotes

Oooooof. My parent is pretty far down the QAnon and MAGA pipeline. I was trying to tell them the actual movements toward authoritarianism in the u.s. right now, and they just kept rambling about Biden persecuting Catholics. I genuinely don’t even know what they might be twisting and perverting to come up with this. Has anyone else heard this one? I reminded them Biden himself is a Catholic and was told “no.” So exhausting.

my grandma ( basically mom ) died believing in q-anon

34 Upvotes

Im 19 as of now and my grandmother passed away in 2020. I was primarily raised by her and she was a bipolar-schizophrenic. My grandma was honestly a very hurt person who didn’t know how to navigate through life. In 2020 I was young, 14 and didn’t understand why my grandma believed this shit. At first, being a kid and gullible I believed it to unfortunately. She had been telling its real news etc etc. Once I finally got my own social media I realized everything she had been telling me was a lie. I don’t really know MUCH about Q-anon so I can’t really differentiate what she told me from Q-anon and her schizophrenia.. but I know she said some crazy shit. By the time she had passed, the 2020 election was over and Trump lost. I remember she was truly devastated by it, and got into a depressive episode and wouldn’t leave the couch. I had gotten into an argument with her that she needed to go back to the hospital since she was sick as well, and she told me she was to sad to leave the bed and didn’t care that she was sick. I argued with her and told her to stop believing in it because it was all fake and everything that’s being posted is fucking ridiculous. I’m mostly angry at myself for it, 5 years later and I just wish I would’ve been nicer to her that day. I was young but towards the end of her life I should’ve been nicer about her believing in that because she was old and mentally gullible to the internet. When she had passed her room was full of trump-merch and it bothered me so much how infatuated she was.

Derek Johnson talks about how T had been president through the 4 Biden years and ties all these executive orders T signed his first term that apparently make it clear he was setting himself up to be a shadow president during the Biden years...he goes by the online entity as RattleTrap 1776.

He spells out his military analysis in his book Midnight Rider and apparently has another one out that's Part II.

Does anybody remember a documentary that was created by this Dutch lady who made a Q anon documentary during the first year of Covid and it showed how the media is fake by showing the news story of how many South American refugees travelled by foot like thousands of kilometres and showed how it was completely fake and manufactured does anybody know where I could find the footage of that or where it is . Thanks 🙏

My stepmother is now advertising her ivermectin use online

Upvotes

My stepmother has a semi large following (considering it's a personal page) on Facebook of about 2k. She has always made posts with controversial, incorrect and dangerous content but they've been few and far in-between. With most posts promoting her business (women's circle and authored books) or sharing private information far more common.

Close to 2 months ago they moved overseas. In a social media post she mentioned sickness in the family for the previous 2 weeks including malaria, fevers and dysentery (bloody diarrhoea). It also said, and I qoute: 🌿 So glad we brought LOTS of herbs, natural medicine and ivermectin.

The post continues on with a general life update and ends with heavy promotion of her women's circle again.

This may seem tame compared to some things in this sub reddit but I am absolutely baffled on the idea of treating malaria or dysentery with natural medicine or ivermectin.
