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?
I have a friend who precovid made me sound like a conservative by comparison. He caught covid and legit has brain damage. Spent about a year learning basic tasks again. His wife sometimes asks me to take him out on playdates.
He is now a rapid anti-trans conservative. Fuck covid
