Looking for opinions on what I should do about this. So I have a sort of working relationship with my mom that we just don’t talk about political things. She’ll try to but I’ll just shut her down. I have to, she got deep into Q and Great Reset stuff, very big on MAGA, space lasers and antifa creating forest fires, pizza gate, energy frequencies, etc, like all the insane conspiracy grifts from the last 8 years she’s gone into.

This past year she’s gotten very involved in South Carolina politics, and now she’s apparently going to be a delegate for her district or whatever at the RNC this July in Milwaukee.

On the one hand, her being a delegate doesn’t change anything, and like at the end of the day it doesn’t seem to really matter. But on the other hand, she is going beyond just having far right opinions about things and is actively participating in an evil political process to do evil things.

Should I just brush this off? Does this even matter? Or should I tell her this is a shitty thing to do? There isn’t a single thing I could say that would make an impact on her. Her far right Christian Nationalist identity is seared so deeply into her bones and baked with layers of unresolved trauma that she is literally too far gone, and confronting her would be a huge argument like always. But keeping the status quo with her and just pretending she isn’t going to do this at the RNC feels like I’m rolling over on my values. Idk what to do
