She does the same thing, watching Fox all the time and buying the right wing books etc. I'm not on FB anymore so I don't see any of that crap. We don't talk about politics or religion anymore either. She thinks Trump is a genius and out to 'MAGA'. The best thing that could happen to her would be if the cable and the internet both went out for good. My step dad is a few years older than her and he follows all the same crap too. He's a former priest of all things. They're both anti-abortion. I hate to break it to them, but I'm sure Trump has paid for more than one abortion due to his extra-marital affairs. Nothing I say could ever convince them of that fact though. Logic facts and reason tend to bounce right off emotion. Trumpism is definitely a cult. You are not alone.
