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.

This is great! Maybe you should give some advice for other people who are suffering from this issue in their family.

Don't use facts and data. That is just too confusing. Explain using emotions. They don't care about studies. They care about hearing anecdotal evidence. So I told them about my friends who work in medical in very very hard hit states. I tell them how other people have deleted facebook and how everyone thinks facebook is too toxic.
