They legit tried to sit me down to watch a 2 hour long recruitment video for the John Birch Society so I would understand how "the Communists are still trying to dissolve all borders and rein in a new world order" it's like I'm living on the set of Alex Jones every day (I actually do hear it playing out loud through the house almost every day) and I need to get out. And that's only the issues on my mom's side of the family.

It literally felt like I was being put on trial the other day because my mom and aunt were grilling me about how our political conversations indicate that I might be moving out of their little tight bottom right corner of the political spectrum into the other 99% of ideas that they've effectively identified as a communist/globalist road to bread lines and firing squads. I'm so ready to be away from this mess.

I'll be moving in with my twin's s.o. (but the twin won't be moving in with us quiiite yet). I introduced them to each other so we're all cool with each other and the arrangement going forward. But I was talking to my mom today and she got all broken up about how some details might not in the future be happening in the most Christian way. I can't stand the thought that developing my own opinions is in any way grievous to her.

Im in a house with five other people (all family) and we all help care for my maternal grandmother who has Alzheimers and hip problems. But my mom and aunt are John Birch Society members and are very far right libertarian fundies. I grew up campaigning for people like Ron Paul but have since moved on politically. But they dont know that and whenever I deviate ideologically, my mom starts crying and I have to walk back a lot of comments.

I'm going to be moving out of my parents' place again in a couple of weeks and I'm very eager to get out of here.
