This is very personal to me. I have 3 kids fresh out of college. My middle daughter who was just like me in my political beliefs....she was conservative, she was pro-capitalism, she looked at the left like they were a bunch of loonies. We exchanged texts on election night 2016 and I still have the text where she said “praise Jesus” when Trump was declared the winner.
Since then she accepted a job with a large firm in DC and moved there 3 years ago. She is a different person. She hates Trump, she has bought into BLM and white guilt. I love her unconditionally but I don’t recognize her from 4 years ago. For my wife and myself, it breaks our hearts. It’s literally like she has been brainwashed.
When people say do you know anyone who voted for Trump that would now vote for Biden? Unfortunately I do. Not just my daughter but the exact same thing happened with my sister’s daughter, my niece, who was also on the Trump train in 2016 and went from that to sneaking out of the house to march in a BLM protest. Please don’t kid yourselves into believing that good people aren’t being transformed. They are, and it’s quite scary.
“Please don’t kid yourselves into believing that good people aren’t being transformed. They are, and it’s quite scary.”
We have revised our will, and our nieces and nephews who are leftists — we cut ‘em loose.
My sis has two adult kids and will do the same if they go left — no problem.
Well good thing her vote for Buden in DC wont hurt Trump.
It is brainwashing. It’s 24/7 exposure to a single point of view. It’s being conditioned to accept that that point of view is unequivocally superior — and that any opposition to that point of view is “hate”.
If you accept the point of view, you’re enlightened and on the “right side of history”. If you reject the point of view, you’re a knuckle-dragging White Supremacist.
I turned off the networks and pop culture years ago, so they haven’t been able to brainwash me. But this is how they’re doing it. Constant exposure to a single perspective that then gets constant reinforcement from peer pressure. As your peers succumb, you succumb — or else.
Here’s the worst of it. Evil begets evil. This madness will grow exponentially. In other words, even with all 2020 has wrought, these are the Good Old Days.

They would kick her out if she didn’t agree with them.
>I love her unconditionally
So must you make it an economic decision.
In the case of your daughter I will tell you that being raised in an upright, Christian environment does guarantee a certain return to truth. I will hazzard a guess on when that will start...about 3 years after she is taking home a six plus paycheck and the truth of that enormous tax and who it goes to becomes apparent to her. At first she will worry she isn't doing enough to help the poor and downtrodden. Later she will look at the waste and abuse of her hard earned dollars and will begin to reason as God does. (If a man does not work then neither shall he eat. Proverbs. I think.)
Avoid the temptation to give your opinions on the stupid things she spouts. It slows the recovery of your daughter's recovery. The time will come when she will come to you and seek your opinions and advice. It won't be very long, I promise. It will happen. May God comfort, strengthen, and bless you. He is faithful and you are not alone.
