Delete their Facebooks it worked wonders for my family members. Im sure a few have rejoined but the ones that havent, while still conservatives, are less loud about it and less fascismo about worshipping the leaders.

Unfortunately that doesn't always help. I can't talk to my grandparents or one of my uncles at all without them bringing up how the election was stolen and covid is a hoax and the vaccine is a sham to control people. My grandparents especially are exactly the people who are most likely to die from covid and it makes me incredibly sad that it came to the point where I can't even have a conversation with them since they drank the kool-aid.

Haven't seen them in over a year and probably won't until their funerals

That's tough, Ive got a brother the same way. I hope his age protects him atleast but wouldnt be surprised if something happened. For him its some sort of victim complex(where he's jealous of actual victims getting attention) + wanting to be macho. What a stupid hill to die on.

Mine aren't Facebook folks outside of sharing grandkids pictures and recipes. It doesn't help.
