My parents have always been left-wing hippies and entertained the odd conspiracy theory, but during the pandemic they got lost down YouTube rabbit holes and bought into Q-Anon and anti-vax ideas. They still don’t believe Covid is real (even though they blatantly had it…).

We’ve just kind of agreed not to talk about it anymore, but they’ve steadily become more and more batshit and I think they believe I have been brainwashed.

Anyone else’s familial relationships changed forever?

    Man, a colleague I had never heard talk about politics in 10 years suddenly became just like that… He was on the hill for most of the convoy bullshit, can’t shut up about Trudeau, WEF, WHO, Ukraine and so on… Very glad I changed job!
