You might check on your trump supporting relatives. It's been eight years since the start of this and when it started most of them were already on the mental decline. (lemmy.world)

Just getting really unhinged and confused messages from my parents. They are holding on by a thread. I don't even think they know who Musk is.

Some were lost before they found the rapist, felon and KKK/Neo Nazi idol to latch onto, some were lost after. If they are still tied to that ship, the rest of us have no obligation to them - including having any contact whatsoever. Altruism has a time and a place, but those people are probably beyond saving by the rest of us at this point.

Like I said, these people were lost beforehand. Take note how the decline is only worsened.
