5 days agoPeople Are Sharing The Most Frustrating Time They Tried To Reason With Trump Supporters, And I'm EXHAUSTED
My Dad, stepmom, and step-siblings were all in from the first time he ran. Dad had the 'Trump won' stickers on the truck and the 'not my president' signs in the yard. They have Fox News on 24/7 in their house, and Dad listens to nothing but far-right radio all day. A few weeks ago, he asked me if I had ever heard of Elon Musk and DOGE and all the great things he was doing to make us better. Well, their retirement fund was drained, they are at risk of losing their Medicare benefits, prices are rising on everything else, and the preaching has slowed down. They are still supporting him, but a bit more quietly now. The signs are off their lawn, Dad took most of the stickers off his truck, and I have had three conversations with him where he didn't bring Trump or MAGA up. It may seem small, but in the last eight years, not a single conversation happened where Dad didn't bring Trump into it. Shows me that while he is still a believer, he is starting to see the cracks.
