        I have family that are fully on the maga train. There is no coming back from that. Will a few snap out of it every now and then? Sure. But there will be no way to unbrainwash them on a massive scale.

        How deep these people are down the rabbithole… and they have zero desire to listen to anything else. Trump could physically punch them in the face and they will find a way to avoid blaming him.

        They are losing most of their social security and had their snap benefits decreased by almost 50%. Their faith in trump is all they have. Their faith in Christianity. Trump is another god to them and there to save them. And nothing you say or do will convince them otherwise.

          It’s wild. I’ve lost relatives to this nonsense and I don’t even live in the US.

          I’m currently fighting it with some friend’s family members that aren’t complete lost causes yet, but it seems to take a disproportionate amount of effort to disarm the programming, and then they just go back and their algorithms which are happy to spoon feed them more view confirming nonsense to regurgitate.
