I recently caught my chud family member watching some dumb youtube video about “experts lying about COVID” (yes, chuds are still malding), and like, what’s the fucking point anymore?

You can be as gracious, understanding and in good faith as possible, but people will believe whatever nonsense some idiot influencer says is the truth. It makes me so mad, and unable to argue with these people, because their irrationality makes me irrational. Fuck.

Anyway, how are y’all doing? kitty-cri-potato

    If you want to engage (I do sometimes), you have to meet people where they’re at.

    Most of my family is poor and they’re on that anti-immigration shit. Digging down, they tell me it’s because people in the US need help. I try to deflate their reasoning and hopefully lead them to a better analysis on their own.
