IL, I mostly agree with what you said except I wouldn’t want to live with someone that wasn’t taking any virus precautions.

It sounds horrible. No I'm with a Sander's supporter, not a Trump supporter, so glad. I wonder what makes the conspiracy theorists tick, I mean in a few cases just age onset dementia maybe, well not much anyone can do about that, but assuming their brain is otherwise functional. Young people who get into whatever I might understand, they lack years of trying to make some sense of the world, but those who have been around the block a few times already ... maybe they never thought much about issues before and thus are like young people in that regard? Everyone gets influenced by media etc., it's a risk, but by no means does everyone go fully down the rabbit hole.
If you wanted to "deprogram" well I might try to find some other shared activity to do together, maybe reading books together so you had something else to think about, but even taking walks might do some good?
Some liberals may have alienated many [angry?] white males and others with identity politics taken to extremes which are also outright ridiculous to many. I'm no fan. But it's a grand canyon between that and the virus positives are fake, but I suppose some can be led there. Most white women also voted for Trump :\

So, the last time I saw BIL was during my DD's wedding weekend. I hadn't seen him since he left for San Diego. I felt bad because I didn't get a chance to really have a good conversation with him. But he's still acting like BIL. He worked all summer at a golf course in New Jersey. When he came from San Diego he got a room at a Days Inn. I figured that would be a temporary arrangement. I never heard from him all summer long--now and then I'd send a text: "How's it going?" and he'd say "fine".
At the wedding he told me he's STILL in the Days Inn!!! He pays $2200 a month to live in one room. WHY he didn't look for some kind of a better situation I don't know.. but then I do know. Someone would have had to walk him by the hand to a better place.
I texted him a couple of weeks ago asking him what he's doing this winter and he never answered me. Kind of strange. But I don't feel like he really had a good time at the wedding. I feel he's really feeling distant from us at this point.
As much as I'm glad he's not crying on our doorstep, I feel bad that we don't talk at all.. he's really a funny guy (sense-of-humor-wise) and kind of fun to talk to... and I hope he's doing OK.

I think it is fine to see both sides but at some point you need to take a stand on what matters more. Wishy-washy people are not appreciated. I, personally, would rather a person tell me what they think. I get rid of wishy-washy people in my life. Based on experience, they are not "true" friends.
Ok my turn: DH’s sister will not sign off on any plan of action for their father’s ( now their) farm because she feels hurt, screwed over, left out, etc.
At one time her siblings were going to buy her out because that’s what she wanted but they were unable to agree on a price. She wants a high price they offer a lower price. Her price comes from a generic valuation of county farmland that she gets on the Internet, 18 months old. Their price comes recent appraisals by two qualified Farm appraisers.
Sending her the written appraisals doesn’t change her mind.
So since that seems to be impossible they started movement to include her in the business, the family farm. She took siblings to court because she wants answers to questions about the estate, still unsettled due to her not signing anything.
Even though she already got answers, she’s paying an attorney to take them to court. So when they went to court she asked her list of questions she got the same answers under oath that she got six months prior.
It will drag on many more months and will cost the estate attorney fees and will cost her attorney fees and that won’t get her anything but whatever. These things have to play out in their own time.
In one case, a case of a $600 purchase, she has legitimate gripe. That is $600 against a $2 million estate. They’ve already easily spent $600 on attorney fee.
I’m starting to think that everyone should sell all assets at a ripe old age and place the proceeds in separate trusts for each child, with the option of using cash from each trust for any bills during their last few years.
