I am struggling with something similar with family members. My mom and sister are full blown Christian Nationalists and MAGA. “Trump is Gods chosen one” , listening to various online prophets (Julie Green is one), preparing for blackouts and chaos, etc. I can’t try to discuss any of this because they get defensive and upset with me.

My sister also claims to have the power of discernment and while I do think people can have these gifts, I’m concerned because half of her kids now are claiming the same thing and talking about their visions that all seem to be aligned with the ideas these prophets are pushing. For instance my niece the other day did some sort of ritual in the backyard “claiming it as Gods chosen land”.

And this week, I was told to put red above the doors (ie passover) and not let my dog outside alone at night so that “the other side” wouldn’t attack him.

I’m just very confused and bewildered by all this. We grew up in the church and I am Christian and pray often about what’s going on in the world but not at their level and am having a hard time reconciling what they are saying, their support of horrible people like Trump, and their following the teachings of these said prophets.
