I have read all the opinions about how we just need to reach out and have a discussion with Trump supporters and we will find common ground. You would think if it is your siblings with a lifetime of history together trying to find common ground would be easy. It definitely did not work out that way.
Turns out my younger siblings are seeped deep in the QAnon theory that Trump is the Christian hero and he will expose all the democrats and Hollywood people as being mass pedophiles. They have turned their faith into an obsession where they justify every horrible action taken by the current administration as being a cover for the REAL perpetrators of destroying this country. Trump is their God given savior so they do not look beyond their ‘reward in heaven’ of helping to make America a country of laws based on the Bible to see how his behavior contradicts the faith that is the central driving force in their life.
The QAnon followers really believe all this crap. Including how vaccines and any medication needed causes you to be mentally unhealthy. One of the articles I read about QAnon followers is the biggest group are the older boomers who are tech illiterate. Well that fits my siblings to a tee, and why I am so different from them (35 years in Information Technology).
These type of Trump supporters are the ones trying to hijack America into an image of make believe. Their information is not tethered in facts it is based on fear and lies. They are so deep in the false information I question whether they will ever admit to being wrong. And I know my siblings could have a total psychological collapse when their beliefs are exposed as false. But they have purged their other siblings from their lives essentially blocking any future support they may need when their world comes crashing down.
Which leads to how others may respond when their imaginary world falls apart or Trump loses the election next year. They will not believe the truth no matter what and they will proclaim a rigged election. And I fear a percent of them have been groomed to react with violence against those identified by QAnon, Republicans, Fox News and all the other right-wing sites that continual to prey upon the ignorant in order to acquire their own agenda of white male power for this country.
So stop trying to reason with them or bring them into the light of truth. Many will never admit to being wrong and they will reap their own karma in the end. All we can do is pick up the pieces and move forward to a better future that honors and respects all life on this planet.
