Advice for Dealing with Radical RW Family Members

I know this sounds like a political issue but more and more I am Thinking what is wrong with my some of my Family is a Mental Heath Issue. I can't talk to them as they immediately start the "talk over me" thing and I loose it. We haven't had this discussion in Four Years so a lot came out. The Worst thing for me is they deny everything that happened...I had hoped they would ditch the former guy but no my brother sounds like a well programmed Robot. I (They) need Help, as the Bottom Line is my Mother's Health; she is being cared for by someone who doesn't believe in...you name it as far as Science goes.

The transformation from there's no way trump can win the GOP nomination to full blown cult of one demonstrates how woefully inadequate mental health care is in this country.

Folie a duex--delusion for two.

While "willing suspension of disbelief" is a good thing, everything is not a story or a movie or a game. Those sharing this gqp driven delusion cannot discern reality from fiction.

How is it not paranoid schizophrenia?

needs to be fired. If it were my mother, and her CNA/nurse were anti science, she'd be o-u-t- out.

It's denial at a minimum, and complete failure to live in reality.

Call it out and hire someone else for your mother.
