My uncle has always been into conspiracy theories and he has become so much more of an asshole. He is in fight or flight mode everyday now.

Any little thing that doesn't go his way pushes him over the edge. For example he was trying to sign into his email and he was typing his password incorrectly. He became angry and cursing. I tried to help but he yelled at me and I told him to leave.

It is impossible to spend time with him because he will start on his theories and yelling because the loudest person is correct or some shit for brains logic.

If you find yourself in a similar situation check out r/qanoncasualties.

Sorry to hear that. I find some people can be persuaded if you agree with them a little and get on their side. Then from there you slowly bring up some different ideas with proof provided facts. Doesn’t always work though.

Telling him to leave works for me and blocking him also works. I hate that I lost a family member that is still living but for my own health I had to.

At the end of the day I am responsible for me. I am 100% in control of my actions. I treat others with kindness and respect. Sometimes it pisses others off when I won't sink to their level and that just makes me smile more.
