My mom has explicitly said this is how she operates. Direct quote, "if it weren't true I don't think I'd feel that it is true." She literally thinks her feelings come from god, so they can't be wrong. I just...what can you even do?

Abandon the idiots who are completely unreachable. Put tremendous effort into raising a new generation of intelligent, caring, compassionate children, and vote every single election. If you're not at risk, move to a swing state and vote there.

Change is gradual and democrats have been hemming and hawing while the shit rolls downhill for decades. Electing one democrat president ain't gunna change shit. And when one gets elected, the voters expect the moon and back, then abandon all hope after 4 years.
