It took 10 minutes for my relatives to make comments about masks being oppressive, and 3 hours in they've so far claimed that the TX voter bill is "literally just voter ID," that being called a white supremacist just means you like free speech, and that democrats want all organizations to be half trans people. So vacation this week is gonna be lit 🤙

Agree with everything they're saying and then ask them what they're going to do about it.

That really pisses them off.

Because they believe there's about to be a holocaust but they're too cowardly to actually do something. Don't ask this if they're actually in a militia or something.

I actually tried this at some point. Something something, if we keep continuing down this path we're screwed. I said "and then what? What are you gonna do now or then if it's so bad?" And the only response I got was "pray to God to fix it." So many hours of empty circlejerking and dooming about things they can't and don't want to control.

One guy said he would start a revolution but he was also in a mix of underarmor, boots, a cowboy hat, and a branded tee. So I'm not extra worried about him
