You're NOT alone! The brainwashing from Faux News *should* be criminal. They're a major reason for the destruction of our Democracy, our freedoms, & liberties.

I've stopped talking to people who STILL double down on MAGA cult insanity.
I don't have the bandwidth.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yes, it’s so freaking exhausting. 😰

arletajames.bsky.social•31 days ago

You're not the only one. My mother supports Trump. I can barely bring myself to speak to her. It's so sad. It also makes me angry that she listens to him but not me or my sisters. I empathize with you.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Our moms have gone mad. Did yours always listen to Rush Limbaugh? She listened to him since I was a teenager and I’m 53. I think it started with him.

arletajames.bsky.social•31 days ago

She started dating this man. Over the years of him and then them watching Fox all day, she totally changed. Its so incredible. I don't even recognize her anymore. She was always Republican. But, then became full blown MAGA.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yes, I can relate. We were never close and she moved far out to East Texas. When my dad got sick I flew there constantly. That’s when I saw how much she watched Fox. Like 7-10hrs a day. It was insane. I’m sorry about your mom. It’s sucks.

blueskyminer.bsky.social•31 days ago

Lemme guess, was she an avid viewer of that reality TV show with the unfortunately the same name as our current president? The character that was good at business and generally a good person? My mother (may she RIP) was, and I was so afraid she would fall into MAGA.

blueskyminer.bsky.social•31 days ago

Fortunately her niece married an immigrant, and her sister helped her see the difference between the character and the actor who played him. Then despite being "non-political" her whole life she became an MSNBC junkie. Damn I loved that woman. I'm so sorry yours is still stuck in fairy tale land.

Not to worry..reality check will be coming soon for her

Sister 😵‍💫

spinninonearth.bsky.social•31 days ago

Jan. 6 was where I finally drew the line. I'd listened, I'd questioned, I'd been polite, I'd asked to not talk politics or be sent MAGA propaganda. They always had to push it on me. Finally, I was done. Never looked back. It's not worth it.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

That’s good that you put up boundaries. October 2018 I stopped talking to her. It was bc she’s a narcissist and was always so hateful and a racist. She finally did something & that was it. If I am where she is I don’t talk to her unless I have to. I just unrestricted her on IG & she did this.🙄

spinninonearth.bsky.social•31 days ago

I understand. Bottom line is that's not politics. That about human decency. And that's my line as well.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Right, the hateful greediness and then calling themselves Christians while hope Pope Francis passes so maybe a conservative pope will take over… it’s too much.

cristynchandler.bsky.social•31 days ago

I have this sister. 😥Makes me so bummed.

shellgeist.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, but you should maybe hide mom’s name.

People be crazy.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

At this point, idc

jen-e123.bsky.social•31 days ago

I feel your pain. My entire family are MAGA "christians". I'm the black sheep: atheist, liberal, college educated. The part that really bites me is that I am also the only one with no job security, no pension. They benefit from a union that they bitch about constantly. To them I am the dumbass.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Oh I hear that! My extended family is in New Mexico and they are maga mahas that benefit from Gov Lujan’s amazing leadership. I’m so sorry about your family. Sometimes friends make better family members.💙

You are definitely not alone. Fox ate the minds and hearts of several family members.

You are not alone.

Sympathy for you having to deal with this instead of the rational parents we all remember. 😢

dmansini.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m so sorry. My sister is gone gone gone.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m sorry to friend. It’s sucks. Love to you. I have barriers but but recently I “unrestricted “ her and she does this. Sigh.

dmansini.bsky.social•31 days ago

There are no words. But I hold to my belief that deep trumpers are not to be trusted- see episode 7 season 6 of #HandmaidsTale

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Oh I’ll have to watch!

lisaloe.bsky.social•31 days ago

Love to you both. 🫶🏽
It’s so frustrating trying to understand how anyone could possibly believe anything coming out of this 🤡’s mouth.
In 2025!
But that’s their well oiled machine at work. Why we can’t duplicate that with the truth at every turn is beyond me.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Love to you Lisa. I agree and ya, why can’t we convince more that they are being lied to? It’s insane.

dmansini.bsky.social•31 days ago

In the case of my sister she’d be sinking on the Titanic claiming they were floating while the water hits her chin- she has to be right. Won’t hit her unless her Danish husband gets held by ICE or her business tanks because of tariffs. Then…maybe. If it’s her idea.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•30 days ago

It’s kinda strange wishing it would affect them somehow just so they would wake up. I don’t want anyone to suffer but they voted for him.

blueferal.bsky.social•31 days ago

I would drag her straight to a neurologist, then to a trust lawyer.

no-dm.bsky.social•31 days ago

I know what you’re dealing with. I have a few in my family & it’s tough. they are either MAGA or don’t care about our democracy. I’m beginning to feel like I don’t belong on this family. I am nothing like them✌🏼

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Ya, we can definitely choose our family when we make friends with our same values. My mom is full blooded Hispanic band is racist af. I’ve never gotten along with her bc of that. Now of course, she’s so much worse. I’m making lots of friends on here! 💙

no-dm.bsky.social•31 days ago

So you know exactly what I’m going thru I feel like I never knew who my family was. We don’t speak, AT ALL. They are either racist or just don’t give a damn. My sis & her kids don’t respect this country & my cuz is MAGA lost. I’m from an Italian family who think they’re better than everyone else😬

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’m so sorry… you’re whole family… Stay strong and keep fighting. 💙

usuallytactless.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yep, I am on the same bad trip. Mom is 83 and convinced the whole rest of the family is deluded.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s so damn frustrating. I listen to both sides so I can know what they are telling magas. She only listens to Fox, Trump and is in maga groups on Facebook. I’m sorry for you. 💙

usuallytactless.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’ve honestly given up trying to reason with her. She also likes to rewrite family history , so there’s not much point.

It makes me sad, but at least I know the rest of my family isn’t bonkers for bozo

dmansini.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s awful- he has ruined families. It’s a real cult.

beckyvee.bsky.social•30 days ago

My mom is 84 & in the hospital w/ pneumonia. I’ve been forced to listen to Fox for 3 weeks now & I’ve never been angrier. These charlatans pedal lies & hate & division. Mom & I have found very little common ground. It’s devastating to see this once vibrant happy woman be subjected to manipulation. 😡

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•29 days ago

It is insane the bs they and all the truth they constantly leave out one purpose!! Same thing happened to me. I had to listen to it too and 😱

You are not alone. My highly educated parents are both full-on MAGA Evangelicals. FOX “News” is responsible for this.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I totally agree and I’m sorry they both are. Ugh.

kberry611.bsky.social•31 days ago

Put toxicity out of your life. I did, and it made life so much better.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I have barriers up for her for years but recently I “unrestricted” her on Instagram and she did this. I’m thinking of just straight up blocking her. Too much?

kberry611.bsky.social•31 days ago

Not too much at all. My Danilo knows unequivocally our relationship is ended.

tfabobbiek.bsky.social•31 days ago

Cut her off. You don’t need that negativity in your life. As a child you have no choice but to talk to your relatives. As an adult every relationship is a choice. She’s in a cult. She won’t be deprogrammed by you or anyone else that loves her. Do yourself a favor a cut out the malignant toxin.

beckyvee.bsky.social•30 days ago

That was easy when my mom was healthy but she’s now hospitalized with pneumonia and a victim of elderly abuse by my maga brother & nephew. I won’t abandon her to those vile creatures.

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•29 days ago

You are a good person. No one should ever be abused. 💙

cfinn63.bsky.social•31 days ago

I can sadly relate. Parents and family in Florida. A few years back we stopped talking about Trump/politics but I definitely curtailed visiting them for years. My father died in Feb. it’s getting hard now to hold my tongue but I don’t think it’s worth the aggravation.Fox has destroyed families

bridget123goooo.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m so sorry… and with the death of your dad it made it worse… My dad died in 2018 and he was the glue and more mature one. She’s just gone nuts even more.
