A couple of weeks ago we got into argument when she was basically calling anyone that didn't like Trump stupid, hate filled, anti-Americans. So I responded by calling out all the illegal, constitution breaking, and hate filled racism his followers display. She got absolutely furious, and started yelling at me that I don't know what I'm talking about about. So I reminded her that she's the one who admits to being uninformed.
She then said we're no longer allowed to discuss politics with each other. But as I agreed, I told her I wished she'd stop taking people's Facebook posts as fact and just look at the actual facts.
Tonight she came to me and said she had been looking to find a completely impartial news source that just lists events as they happen with no bias either way. She was very proud of the fact that she found one that wasn't biased at all. I said that was great and asked which one it was... My heart sank when she said Newsmax. I told her that I think that one has a heavy bias towards supporting Trump and promoting fake news for him. She didn't want to believe it, so I had her Google it with me and almost everything listed said it was heavily far right conservative leaning.
So now she's using that as an excuse to say you can't trust any news source. I agreed and said at this point, there probably isn't any unbiased news. But that she should still just watch what he does and says rather than taking what she's on Facebook as fact.
So... She is trying. But I fear if she sees anything that he does wrong that she'll immediately flip to thinking it's fake. My mom, who I love and care for would never support these things. She's still in there, I can see her sometimes. But there's just this whole other persona that takes over when Trump is mentioned, and I just want her to wake up and see the truth.
Did you unfriend her on Facebook yet?
