I got a call last night from my 78 year old brother in Ohio (I'm in NM).
He's an evangelical born-again Christian & Trump supporter.
He believes this 'flu' is the work of the Devil, with help from the Democrats.
His 'proof' is that it has shut down many churches across the country,
because many evangelical Christians are Trump supporters.
We typically do not discuss religion or politics,
and there is no arguing with him or he goes 'bat crazy'
so I just switched the subject.

(7,715 posts)How long did he wait to come to his senses? TRUMP, and TRUMP alone, is responsible for the spread by the utter lack of testing in clinics, at airports, etc.
Now that he appears to realize the gravity of the situation, Trump is spinning this solely for re-election, damning all other consequences.
I am sorry you have a family member who thinks like that.
Tell your brother that we're calling it "The Trump Virus" to remember the massive omissions that have led us to this day (health, economy etc).

(6,423 posts)You'd have to individually shock these people out of their BS with reality, but 1 at a time, otherwise their handlers would stink eye the whole thing and their brains would shut off?
Even then, you'd have to then keep them away from each other afterwards, this made me laugh, they are so dumb to have not seen through the BS and allow others to just use them.
Other than that....
