There has to be a reason why they were so susceptible to believing the misinformation though. People don't latch on to that because they're just inherently awful. There has to be a reason why they find what these people are saying to be so emotionally compelling, because let's face it, this is driven by anger and a sense of oppression moreso than by intellect.

So what in their upbringing impressed such beliefs in them about the world/others that would eventually lead them down this path? Because people only understand the world from their level of perception, and their influences may differ greatly from ours.

It's worth considering I think before shutting out family forever. Divisiveness and lack of compassion in a lot of ways is what landed us here in the first place. Should we not at least attempt to take a higher road, because we know better?

(And I say this about pro-trump peers/family that are on that side ideologically, but not on board with the violence today.)
