My brother says Trump will be reinstated as President Labor Day weekend

He also believes (I kid you not) that space aliens brought 'Bigfoot' to Earth because their home planet was becoming over populated with them.

I guess transporting them a zillion lightyears here was the cheapest, easiest solution?

Of course, they don't say which plan

The one where 45 wins reelection?
The one where he's inaugurated in March?
The one where's he's reinstated?

I’m quite serious. Treating cult members gently only gives them a platform. It’s super tough to cut family out of the picture, but sometimes that’s all that gets through.if nothing else, it removes their opportunities to try to recruit the impressionable.

We thought we had it pretty bad, but at least they acknowledge reality. They admit that he lost the election fair and square, and think his flailing and fuming is unseemly and undignified. Neither of us pointed out the obvious, that he's never been seemly or dignified in the first place...

But anyway, they aren't as far gone as your brother. I'm sorry, it must be hard to see someone you love in that mental state.

My whole family is liberal. Get-togethers are always a delight. No crazy racist uncles or anything.

My 80 year-old mother is super-liberal, LGBTQ-friendly, die-hard Democrat, you name it.

We do have some Trumpster cousins, but they live half a continent away, and we never see them.

I have some republicans in my family, but they aren't that off the rails and at least they are all vaccinated.

I would have a hard time dealing if they were total MAGAts. It would really break my heart. I'm not saying this to make fun of your situation at all. I really just would find it terribly painful if I was in your situation, but i don't know what your situation was like before this.

Some members of my family are pretty hard core right wingers, but at least they haven't totally gone off the deep end yet. Hopefully they will come to their senses one of these days.

And that VP Harris will be sent to Gitmo by Labor Day.

And no, not exaggerating. I heard it from a coworker.

I've spent years trying to convince Bigfoot that Republicans taste the best....

Seriously, best of luck with rehabilitating your brother. He will be devastated when tRump goes down in infamy.
