I went out to dinner the other night with a family friend, and he spent the entire dinner talking about some right wing conspiracies. I feel like my brain is rotting oml. Does anyone else have to sit through conversations like this?

My uncle is absolutely blind PiS apologist. He's literally believing everything what the PiS TV says even through the reality of his life contradicts it. He's very old though and a bit demented.

I have a friend who was mostly normal until a few years ago when he took a hard right turn. His girlfriend's family is very wealthy (they own a mansion) and he moved into it during the pandemic so I think he basically spent the last few years having rich chuds pushing him in that direction. He also listens to joe rogan 🤮.

We have a group chat where he and a few other people (I wouldn't call them friends but I know them) talk about ukraine and it's as insufferable as you can probably imagine. The rest of my friends are mostly "apolitical."

As for my family members, most are somewhat well-intentioned liberals. Two others are conservative (both former military members, naturally) and one of my cousins refuses to get the covid vaccine because she thinks it's some kind of mind control serum or something. So, the usual.
