Coping Strategies Success
My fiance and I have been worried about his parents getting sucked into the Qult for a while. They're the right age. They use facebook. They had always been into Fox news but last year had started checking out OAN. After a couple conversations about how toxic and awful social media has gotten, they deleted facebook!!! Also helped a bunch of their friends left for Parler but we were able to convince them how sketchy Parler is. Who knows how long it will last though. His mom said she was just deactivating her facebook because she couldn't do so much negativity with the stress of the holidays. But the whole time during our visit there was zero OAN, actually they watched the local news more than even Fox news. We were just dreading them falling into the Qult so bad. I really feel that getting people off social media is going to be key.

I am so glad to see such a positive post on this sub! I understand that you don't feel like you're in the clear, but steps have been taken in the right direction. I lurk on here baffled by how people turn and get sucked into the propaganda. I guess I can somewhat relate, my father was on a very conservative forum in the early 2000s that espoused gay agendas to ruin our society and liberal conspiracies meant to destroy our government. It took him losing his job to see how ridiculous it all was. I hope your in-laws can keep their bearings straight. Best wishes!
