Many of my relatives are diehard MAGA. So, when Trump said not to wear masks or quarantine, my aunt and her husband and son went out of their way to basically spend every second they could at superspreader events. They were warned it was dangerous, not restricted in any way, but still felt the need to act out to validate political feelings.
Naturally, they all caught COVID in the early days. My uncle and cousin both passed, leaving my aunt as a devastated shell of a woman. When we would see each other at family dinners she would usually just sit with a far-off, forlorn look. Every once in a while she would tune in for a bit to spout some pro-Trump bullshit. I wanted to scream “He helped to kill your family!”
I decided to just stop spending time with these people before I said something I would regret.
But would you really regret screaming ‘he helped to kill your family’? I think it would be awesome … unless there’s a significant inheritance at stake.
The woman’s mind is broken. She’s a cult victim. If she’s not actively harming OP, why would being cruel help now? She’s already killed her husband, in her mind. She’s fucked already.

Good choice. There’s no getting them out of it without professional help. This is an identity cult. They identity is tied to his, that’s why their ego can’t take any hits on him. They explain everything away.

Are you sure? Sounded like she might still be in denial.

“Hey Marge, how’s the husband and son? Still dead? Still Trump’s fault?”
