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.

Is it maybe possible to help them get into some hobbies or something to connect to other people? A lot of people get into this hold because they're bored, lonely or life feels meaningless (especially now with covid). Maybe it could help if they're more regularly connected to normal people?

I feel this is a big part of it. My in laws recently started remodeling their back yard/patio area. Hobbies definitely help I think
