. My sister gave me a rather thick book to read, which is going to educate me about all the corruption in politics. I’ve known there’s been corruption in politics since well before Ralph Nader.

She keeps saying things, and I keep asking where’s the beef. So she wants me to read this book by a conservative operative.

I will eventually read the whole damn thing and tell her those were wasted hours that I will never get back.

@J_Windrow You have a chance to influence her. Don't waste it. Every life we can pull away from the cult of MAGA is a life saved. You will know how to proceed. God will tell you what to say to her. 👍

@danielbsmith Probably not. Bottom line is when I disarticulate things she doesn't want to talk about it. The expectation is I'll read this book written by a conservative hitman and see she's been right all along. So far, it's all far-fetched and without any form of fact-finding.

Emotions rather that reality hold much more sway with many people.

Thanks for the god thing, but yours isn't in my pantheon. :)

@J_Windrow Like I said, you will know how to proceed. 😉 Speak her language. Speak to her emotions.

She sent for more books for me to read full of paranoid rantings. 😂

I explained that I don't sit and read things like this all day long. I am a writer and I'm busy.

Also told her that it may take me months to outline the first book of conspiracy theories.

Finished with: I look for fact based information. As as a retired lawyer I needed facts and figures, not wild speculation with no verification.

We live in different worlds.
