11. I'm heartbroken for you.

I've essentially lost my oldest brother to the cult as well. We don't argue; we don't talk at all. This way, he still got invited to his nephew's wedding (haven't heard if he's RSVP'd, though we don't expect them). he can show up at my funeral or I at his when it comes to that.

I would say that your son is buried in the trump cult. All the evidence contrary to what he believes means nothing (eg, almost 60 court cases lost trying to prove fraud), his brain simply rejects it.

There is a sub-reddit you may find helpful, or at least validating. https://www.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/
I don't read it faithfully but occasionally there is a story of someone whose loved one turned, saw the light if you will.
