      I lost both mother and father for conspiracy theories. Unfortunately no way back . They are totally brainwashed

          That requires one to acknowledge there’s a problem and then summon the will to change it, which isn’t a hallmark of radicalism.

          By the level of conspiracy they are I think they have a high rank in community

        Got into a huge argument with my dad and almost lost all contact with him from right wing brainwashing. We’re good now but it’s scarry just how far the right will go to tear families apart just to get what they want. I hope every last GOP member burns a slow painful death.

          My wife’s parents went crazy lead brained. They went pure antivaxxer and said if we don’t want our kids to have grandparents, then get vaccinated. We lolled and said, “Bye”.

          It’s been four years now.

          They now pretend like they didn’t say that every few months by sending us gifts and cards, that we promptly give away to charity.

            We must have the same inlaws haha. Similar situation with my wife’s parents and one sibling. They’ve never met our kid and still put all their right wing Facebook conspiracies ahead of meeting him. No loss to us - we’d rather spend time with sane people anyway.
