I will tell you; liberal "news", CNN, msnbc, the anti-trump movement, the view, etc have ruined my mom. I'm talking total obliteration of personality, outlook, energy, optimism/health. She is ruined forever, for good. The pandemic scared her significantly. She is an excessively insecure, weak-minded individual. She was significantly abused in her childhood, her life has not been pleasant, so this is always at the forefront of my consideration. The negativity, the hatred, the criticism, constant put-downs of the other side invigorate her righteous indignation. She is unable to maintain her home and eat well, she orders shit off amazon, zuliliy, kohls, whatever and just tosses it into a pile. There is NO debate, communication, compromise, criticism; "if the government is doing it, it must be the right thing."

It has made my life a living hell.
