You guys, alot of you are still struggling to understand what Germans and all of Europe has always understood.

FASCISM ALWAYS FUNCTIONS LIKE A CULT AND THE DISINFORMATION - THE PROPAGANDA - IS THE KEY TO KEEPING THEM IN THE CULT.

KEEP FIGHTING FOR FACTS AND TRUTH. LOVE.
First, understand this.

In 1945, OVER SEVEN THOUSAND REGULAR, NAZI SUPPORTING GERMANS committed suicide.

That is some Jim Jones on steroids level cult.

The propaganda had them in this bizarre world view they were afraid to live in a world where they weren't in charge.
Seven THOUSAND people just killed themselves.

I don't know why some are more susceptible to cults than others, but that is what we're facing.

We've said it for four years. It's not a joke. It's not said in jest.

It is very real.
If you loved someone who joined Jim Jones or David Karesh or some other cult, what would you do to save them?

Approach this with the same focus. The same relentless love. The same desire to be normal again.

Do not talk shit about their leader. But we have an opening right now.
Take it.

Fox News was wrong about everything and they are seeing it.

Trump was too. And they're seeing it.

Remind them of the goodness you've seen in them over the years. Remind them that they would never treat people the way Trump has. That they are BETTER than that.
Do not debate policy. Debate facts. Debate truth. Cite your sources. Tell them you don't want to change their opinion. You only want to share reality with them. Agree that someone MUST be lying. Maybe your sources are lying to you. But let's find out together. It may take months
They will slip in and out of the cult. Every out is their soul reentering their body and they will grieve.

Be patient. Be loving. Remind them that this was not their fault. They were literally attacked by military grade psychological warfare on all channels. Love them anyway.
Make space to still disagree on policy. Tell them, healthy disagreement on policy differences is a good thing. But keep reiterating the rights of all people to live freely, equally and without fear.

Keep reiterating that there IS truth. It's our duty to keep seeking it.
It's a long road. It has taken me 11 months. My brother has snapped out of it. He called me on Sunday and apologized. He said, "I don't know why I didn't see it. But I didn't. And now that I see it, I cant unsee it. I wanted you to hear it from me. I'm really sorry."
He went on to say, "I think the Democrats need to win those two Senate seats. These Republicans appear only interested in power and are willing to win at any cost."

Fight for the goodness in those you love. It's in there. Do. Not. Give. Up. On. It.
