yesterday at dinner, my brother looked at my mom's phone ('cause he's a dick) and he saw that she was watching a youtube video w a really cringe

political title.

So he was making fun of her, and I kinda just suggested that she send us a link to the video, partially as a way to de-escalate and partly so I could watch it and commentate. I'm watching it this morning and it contains a lot of really easily refutable lies, which frankly serve to advance a message of bigotry and exclusion. I'm debating picking it apart & sending an email with the untrue statements /w time stamps, but I'm not sure how far I can go. I mean come on, she's my mommmmmmmmmmm

At some point things switch over - you need to become the adult .

You need to decide, is this worth it?
Even my daughter and i avoid some topics as we knkw we dont agree or understand each other.

What is your 'big picutre'?
Wjat is most important?

Is this an argument worth having ?

Sometimes you need to love a person in spite of what they believe.

And as an older person, as much as i hate it , it isn't easy to change a long held belief 🤷‍♀️

@OogieBoogie Some beliefs are wrong. The person with the wrong belief needs to be told.
