For instance, I have an aunt who is definitely MAGA, and is flirting with Q-Anon ideas. However, she has pretty good views on the environment and animal rights. For instance, after travelling to Ecuador, she donates to some Ecuadorian land trust run by locals. However, if you start talking to her about the border or gender, she goes full Orbán.

    My mom. She was apolitical. Got her to vote for Obama when I liked Obama. Obama didn't do shit. She fell hard into Trump politics and spiraled on conspiracy theories. She still has a child's concept of politics. She's blue collar af and I got her to agree to the labor theory of value before I told her what it was.
