r/QAnonCasualties

My Q gave me one of those 2020 trump coins and said don’t tell anyone because I’ll need it very soon for safe passage and people will be killed for there coin . OMG.

So my aunt and uncle are deep into QAnon and have been into conspiracy thinking for many years but this worsened noticeably around COVID time.

Most of my family members have fallen out with them over it or at the least have stopped contact and made it clear they absolutely disagree with their views and don’t want contact.

My aunt and uncle will occasionally send me Qanon related stuff e.g. a link to a YouTube video or a video that I never watch. I tend to just either not respond or ignore the video and ask them how they are. My rationale is that IF they ever come out of Qanon I would like them to know there is someone in the family that is still on talking terms with them.

However, in the past week they have sent me 2 videos much more extreme than previously - the last one was all about how the holocaust wasn’t real and Hitler was in the right - which is course is insane and really offensive. I’m not sure how to respond - do I just put my foot down now and cut contact, or is my idea of keeping a channel of communication with them open a helpful thing in case they come back to reality in future?

EDIT: for previous things they’ve sent I’ve felt comfortable just ignoring as the content hasn’t been so hateful (e.g. the vaccines are going to make you ill). But this week the content has become much more venomous and antisemitic and I’m wondering if not making that clear to them is almost like not doing enough on my end/complying.

Edit: all I’ve done so far is report the video on IG as hate speech

My dad ever since covid happened has been very right wing, conspiracy, alex jones loving man. Hates vaccines etc etc. I have always struggled with my relationship beforehand with him and don’t actually see him that often but he’s still my dad. I have recently been diagnosed with autism and was wondering what the best approach would be to tell him as I am nervous and worried.

He also thinks autism and stuff is caused by vaccines!! 😐

I'm sure you've heard this line a lot lately. "Two wings of the same bird." essentially means both parties are the same so it doesn't matter how you vote - or if you even vote at all. And MAGA, as well as non-voters, absolutely love it. If both parties are the same, if all politicians are the same, if nothing matters either way, if everyone and everything is equally as evil - then they are absolved of any guilt for their fascist support and allowing this to happen. It's a great way to take absolutely no responsibility whatsoever. "Two wings of the same bird." is the idiot coward's go-to mantra. And you will hear it more and more as the midterms approach. It's intentional.
