(2,529 posts)We're a large Hispanic family and she's our resident Republican. She started out being pretty liberal except for her views on abortion. Then, she began meeting radical right-wing groups in her demonstrations and getting e-mails from them and watching Faux Spews. She's upset about the way immigrants are treated, but turns it around and says it's Democrats that are the ones at fault. She seems to live in a bubble where she filters the information she wants to hear and what she doesn't and assigns blame to Democrats that are blatantly the fault of Republicans. She talks about Islamofascists and totally hates Arabs now when before, she was distressed that we were being sent to war to kill innocent people in the Middle East. It's like she's in a cult and totally divorced from reality. Sometimes, I'm afraid to confront her with facts. I'm afraid smoke will come out of her ears and she'll start saying in a robotic voice, "It does not compute," and blow up.
