I know true believing Amway folks who are total MAGA freaks.

I'm so sorry to hear that. DM me with details, if you want. It's always fascinating (though often heartbreaking) to hear about others' experiences.

I'm afraid I can't figure out how to DM, though I thought I had. I'm kinda new on bsky. I'm happy to share my experience, especially if it helps anyone realize they are not alone, and that Amway is a cult. IMHO. /1

It's also an addiction that leads to other MLM cult participation, as well as a long con game and the "Diamonds" play the suckers for all they are worth - one dime at a time. /end

Therefore of course my mom was involved in many, but Amway was always in the background, kind of a through-line. It should come as no surprise my mom also got involved with Trump's phone scam, ACM I believe. Toss in religion for some spice. and my now 97 yr old mom is still hooked.

I'm so sorry your mom (and you) went through all this.

I feel for her mostly, and her parents, and everyone who became involved. I didn't mean to grab your attention by mentioning you, as much as draw attention to your very good article so people could find/follow you as the author. Writers don't get enough attention IMHO. 😁

Ugh she's 87. I don't know why I keep saying 97.

gosilent.bsky.social•10 days ago

Christ --- she's 89. I've lost my mind today.
