Trump derangement syndrome has taken my mother away
  • OptimusSubprime OptimusSubprime 1d ago 100%

    GarbageShoot said it best earlier:

    Her political opinions are irrelevant here, it's her obsession with it and with browbeating OP about it.

    The keyword here is "obsession". OP's mom is literally spiraling. My mom was literally spiraling. Both of our moms were actually being abusive.

    That is why I said to let go. When they become abusive, you have to leave them. Period. Sometimes, realizing you've been left alone because of an unhealthy obsession can snap a person back to reality. In my case, for my mom, me leaving helped her. To her, losing me was way worse than having some orange skinned imperialist buffoon in the white house.

    I don't know if OP leaving their mom alone will have the same effect, but from what OP described in their opening statement, OP's mom became abusive towards her child with her derangement, her obsession. From that revelation, my comment was about leaving an abusive relationship. Nothing more.

    This is not like dealing with generic libs who are just strangers. At a certain point you just direct them to https://hexbear.net/PPB or tell them to fuck off since a lot of them don't want to argue in good faith.

    No this is family. What they are doing ends up pushing you away. And that shit hurts. But if you don't fucking move on, it ends up fucking you up and I'm not going to let them fuck me up.

    So I'm sorry you hate my advice. It comes from a place of having to deal with that Trump hater bullshit myself and ultimately having to say "enough with this shit".

    OP can take it or leave it. I'm done.

    And at a certain point, when they become toxic, you have to cut them out. Or risk "drowning".

    There are other people I can help and other people more open to the truth, in the Marx-Lenin sense, of the world around them.

    And like I said earlier, you can be there for them when they are ready "to come back to their senses". But what you will not be able to do is to change them. They have to want that themselves.

    Yes, you have to. More for your sanity than theirs.

    You can be there for them, but it isn't likely they will come back from their hatred.

    And yet she continues with her Trump derangement syndrome, pushing away OP.

    I've seen it firsthand with my own mother. And I've had to let her go, no matter what I say to get her right thinking again, because she won't listen. She is stuck in her hatred of Trump.

    So no, no "dummy" here. Just someone who decided to move on and get on with their life.

    OP, you should have blocked her a long time ago...

    It was only going to get worse.

    I see fire

    > [Verse 1]\ If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together\ Watch the flames climb high into the night\ Callin' out, Father, oh, stand by and we will\ Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside (High)\ And if we should die tonight, we should all die together\ Raise a glass of wine for the last time\ Callin' out, Father, oh, prepare as we will\ Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside\ Desolation comes upon the sky > [Chorus]\ Now I see fire inside the mountain\ And I see fire burning the trees\ And I see fire hollowin' souls\ I see fire, blood in the breeze\ And I hope that you remember me I thought "I see fire" would be a good song to go out on. When the bombs fall, it's this and "Perfect Day", especially with that ending refrain, "you're going to reap just what you sow".

Thankfully, no one was hurt. I got it replaced but I need to have my paycheck hurry up and deposit so I can get the other side replaced to balance it out. Next, after replacing the throttle on an e-scooter, I find that I need to replace the brake as that is electronically wired and keeping the scooter from going (I found frayed wires connecting to the controller board). More money to spend on a scooter I found at the dumpster. Lastly, after Nobara was practically screaming at me to update it, I go to log in and KDE Plasma crashes after log on. Thankfully, a quick search turned up a solution that got my desktop environment back up and running. This was just Friday. I dread to know what my weekend will be like, since I'm the on-call technician this weekend.
