Just found out my cousin is a Trump cult member.

I only have 1 cousin that I see more than once every 5-10 years. I figured he was a Republican, but he just posted on Facebook over the loss that now we're all going to lose our 401ks, and Biden is a pedophile who sniffs children's hair, etc.

I'm so disgusted I don't even want to go to anymore holiday family gatherings. And I think his new wife is a Democrat. I had no idea he was drinking all the kool aid.

I can't see anything but his feet. He has been ranting all day about lockdowns and lost jobs. I'm just glad I don't have to listen to it except through my wifey.

When I asked what “freedoms do you have now that you didn’t under Obama / Biden” they seem to get mad at me.

My evangelical sister, who also voted for Trump over abortion and her typical narrow-minded issues, called me yesterday over some things her son recently said to her.

Even SHE was shook by the craziness of it!

I reminded her that he was talking about "chemtrails" and other conspiracy crap at holiday gatherings years ago, so I wasn't too surprised that he went even deeper since then.

I had to explain to her what all that nonsense even meant. She's usually in such a tight religious bubble that she's not aware of many things outside of it.

She is a Bosnian immigrant, but is now afraid that because Joe is president, the government is going to sneak into her house late at night and "chip" her so they can follow her around and kill her. Sighhh!!! We got rid of Trump, but we still got plenty of F'n stupid people to deal with.

BTW, this lady that is so worried about the government tracking her nefarious movements to WalMart, has her cell phone pretty much grafted to her ear 24/7.
Absolutely oblivious as to how or why her movements are tracked now by the private sector. You can't fix stupid.

The exact same people who rail against the government "tracking" them, have absolutely no problem signing away their contact list and access to their photos for a free phone game. Also, the little card on their key chain from the grocery store? Hey! Free coupons! Sure, but also they want to keep track of everything you buy, and when, and how often. And also, the ability to sell this information to other people who also want to keep track of what you buy. But, yay coupons! You sold your privacy for 25 cents off dish soap. Congrats, I guess.
