The mainstream press failed to accurately describe the hand gesture that Elon Musk made twice at Trump’s Inauguration Day rally, setting a troubling precedent for the second Trump era.

Because she protected me (as best she could) from an abusive father. I'm still considering whether I'll cut off contact for voting for that piece of shit, but come on, I still love her. Wtf.

Strange how she had the empathy to protect you, but no empathy to protect all those endangered by the Donvict.
As long as you have the energy, try to change it - her view, your view of her view, whatever is possible and helps.
If all fails, you try something else.
All the best!

That's the thing. She has empathy for people she knows; not for people she hasn't met and can't imagine.

Trans people? The Gays? Who could think of that lifestyle?! /s

Also plugged into Fox "News".

I'm out of energy for accommodating her ideology. Thank you for the kind words.

That's the key, you just have to get her to stop ingesting the poison.

My father in law watches Fox news. Whenever he comes to visit us in Europe he spends the whole time oo'ing and ah'ing about life here and swears he understands that Fox news is propaganda.

Then he goes back home and two weeks later my mother in law is complaining that he's got brain worms again because he started watching Fox to get Both Sides™.
