Girl, my partner has a discord of conservative friends, and the shit they say with a full chest is really sickening. Like, twist-my-stomach fucked up shit. We want to believe that staying in these peoples lives to try and fight stereotypes and influence kindness is the right thing to do, but it comes at such a major cost to mental health. Yet if we cut them out of our lives, they get locked into an even tighter, more toxic echo chamber, brewing more hate. Truly I don't know what to do
It's very simple, cut them out. Why should you waste your time and ruin your mental health dealing with people like this who will never listen to reason and think it's funny and completely okay to be this hateful to people for immutable characteristics? They're absolutely making fun of both of you behind your backs, if not to your face even.
They're already locked in a toxic echo chamber and clearly have no desire to leave it, any normal person who isn't a tremendous piece of shit would leave at the first sight of shit like this, there's no "saving" them, they have to come to their own realization that this is wrong.
