I quit with this pair of liberal in-laws. I just don’t talk to them anymore they are so delusional. They had all five of their covid shots. They think everyone associated with Donald Trump should be put in jail. No need to bother with a trial or evidence. Already said they will still vote for Biden if Trump is the alternative. Biden’s lost a step or two but he’s still fine.
My approach with liberal family members is very tactical.
That means I pick specific very narrow topics, use only sources they trust, and gently lead them to an destination unknown to them.
I let them get the “aha” moment on their own.
The left contradicts themselves constantly. You just need to do the work to put the data on the table.
They need to put the puzzle together themselves—even if it just means putting the final piece in place.
I recently did this on one topic and the very left wing family member “got it”—he turned beet red—I really thought his head would explode like the opening scene in “Scanners”:

It was a pleasure not seeing them this holiday season.
