Oh my GOD can I relate to this.

My dad effectively retired 6-7 years ago. Ever since he's just been getting deeper and deeper into conspiracy theories.

It started with the 9/11 being an inside job, and the moon landings being faked. It progressed to the Illuminati and the New World Order. Unsurprisingly he's convinced that COVID is either a hoax to keep people distracted while the NWO rips society apart behind the scenes, or it's a virus created in a Chinese lab for the same purpose.

He lives in France. The latest is that Macron and others are a bunch of Satanist paedophiles who rape and sacrifice children. I've never bothered looking into it, but it sounds like QAnon. He also thinks that Trump is the only one who can save us from the NWO.

It's fucking INTOLERABLE to talk to him now. No matter what the subject is, I know we're only 3-4 sentences away from the New World Order, paedophile Satanists or the COVID hoax. In order to have a meaningful conversation I have to ban him from talking about international politics.

He's not even right-wing, he's always been a leftist. What kind of nonsense is he reading to make him think Trump is our saviour? He's stopped reading mainstream media, he exclusively feeds on conspiracy nonsense.

Not only does it hurt to have my father going that mental, but it makes me wonder if the same thing will happen to me. Fucking hell.
