    My mother still thinks he’s basically harmless. We have a no politics rule because his first term nearly made me cut her out of my life.

      This is basically the same for me. During covid my parents driftet into the conspiracy theories and never got out(tbf I also kinda got into that shit, but somehow got out of it, a bit after it was undeniable, that the vaccination was safe). After about 1.5 years of constant discussions they stopped talking about that shit in my presence because nobody of us liked the constant fights. Nowadays I also always try to stay away from their “friends” (they now almost exclusively have social interactions with other conspiracy theorists), because its much healthier for me to not be forced to listen to their dumb bullshit.
