“Wait, you mean our strategy to constantly people-please the people who hate everyone, INCLUDING US, has backfired?

My dad's entire family is a bunch of religious right wing crackpots worshipping at the altar of money and arrogance, believing themselves to be the chosen militants of Christ.
Happy to say I am 100% estranged from 99% of them.
This is the perfect encapsulation of the current crisis.

Everyone suffers because these peoples' brains broke and they haven't recovered yet.
Yt pipo got them dysfunctional dynamics.
