Listen for yourself and decide how compelling it is.

When I realized everyone is just frustrated and venting about the lack of control they have in their lives, things became much easier.

It certainly sounds like you made the right choice for you if there is a violent history. Hope for the best for you and your brother.

I don’t know your situation, but turning from family will only harden their resolve and make them more defensive. I went through this with my mom. She voted for Trump in 2020, after years of me telling her how bad he was. I was angry and didn’t talk to her for 2 months. During this time I heard a podcast with David McRaney, about how to talk to QAnon people. It helped me to understand how they got there, and how to help them out of it. It is a process. They operate on an emotional level, and you have to relate to them on emotional level. After that, you question how they arrived at their decisions. Like:

If I asked what your favorite movie is, could you explain why it’s your favorite movie?

Emotionally connecting with them and then thoughtfully questioning their beliefs, in a non-condescending way can be beneficial. It may take days or months, but once the seed of doubt is planted, it can start a dialogue. Remember, these are people we love ❤️, we owe it to ourselves to be compassionate in conversations.

Do you research candidates? What sites do you use?

Bigfoot is real. Sasquatch, abominable snowmen, yeti have been spotted all over the globe. Coincidence?

If someone won $500,000,000 in the lottery, what would be the most effective way to spend it to change the political situation in America?

Edit: Asking for a friend. Also; as much as I appreciate the violent suggestions, I’m thinking more positively focused.

 

What is the best opening scene/ sequence of any movie? And why is it the animated Lion King?
