I too have family members who are drinking the koolaid and it hurts SO BAD every day.

Some less than others. My son is the one that hurts most. WHERE DID I GO WRONG?

An Aunt who used to be like a second Mom and is very devoted religious person.

A friend who helped me through a difficult time after my ex tried to kill me. Also a very devoted religious person.

HOW DID THEY GET SUCKED INTO THIS?

My son keeps saying I have to "watch" alternate news as the main stream news is FAKE. I won't because I am half convinced they use subliminal programming to suck people into the lies. Hard to find any other reason rational people would turn to the dark side. I wouldn't put it past these people who are trying to violently overthrow the government.

BUT I have hope that somehow the truth will be revealed and he will wake up some day as well as my other family and friends.
