Gawd, I need therapy just talking to them. Overheard a conversation about mail in voting. Apparently she (sister in law) is against it. Swallows Trumps bs, hook line and sinker. Like uh mail in voting can not be hacked

(11,155 posts)that they agree with. That is the part that I have such a problem with. I just can't understand why anyone could support a movement or person that is so racist and cruel...and yet most also claim to be Christian. If that is Christian (I don't really know) then I want to stay as far away from it as possible.

(69,643 posts)Jesus was quite radical, if you read the New Testament. No only must we love our friends, we must love our enemies as ourselves.
In other words, not loving our enemies as much as we love ourselves is a sin. That's radical. I can't live up to it but I admire it.
Jesus also said that rich people can't get into heaven. Not just "feed the poor" but literally give everything away to others and live among the poor. Again, way too radical for me.
Everything the MAGAs stand for is opposed to what Jesus taught.
And don't get me started on how many of the Ten Commandments these people and their Beloved Leaders break daily. Pete Hegseth?

(32,764 posts)I learned how to talk to them using "zingers." Here is an example to use on your in-laws regarding mail in voting.
I would simply say that Krasnov's 2nd best friend, Putin, allows mail-in voting and internet voting.
If they dare ask who his best friend is, I would say Epstein.
