They used to be NORMAL went to the doctor, had normal conversation, didn’t really believe in any conspiracies but now I can’t even have a conversation with them because they immediately start throwing out these crazy thoughts- like how the banks are closing, and America was bought by China, doctors took an oath with the devil to weaken the American population. And my MIL will now bait me by saying some very outlandish medical misinformation (I’m a nurse) and when I try to explain in a nice way HOW IT MAKES NO SENSE she just acts like I’m stupid and she knows so much more than me. Now they have this “machine” (it’s literally a mini transformer from Amazon) connected to some device that shocks their thumbs to give them “low frequency” to “boost oxygen”, what in the actually shit. I need to know there are other people out here experiencing this.
I have stories for days about their shenanigans but recently it’s gotten even more unbearable.

I’m not sure if anyone else deals with this but I have family members who are in what I call a cult, they aren’t even conservative imo, they believe in Trump being sent here by God, they don’t believe normal medicine anymore (like the doctors are evil and prescribe things to weaken us), they do these WEIRD things like shock their thumbs for “more oxygen”.
They also have been CONSTANTLY telling us the banks are closing and we’re going to have new currency BUT not to be scared because it’ll be good for us.

It’s sooooo weird and they act like I’m crazy because I don’t believe them! I stg I could go on for house but I feel like I need a support group or maybe I need to start one.
