A loved one lost in conservative rhetoric.

Has anyone here ever watched a spouse or other loved one descend a bit too far down the conservative news/talk radio rabbit hole? Is there anything that can be done to pull that person out of this funk?
Someone very close to me has become terribly enamored with all things Glenn Beck over the last year, and it's getting difficult to have conversations with her.
She echoes talking points from his show throughout the day, even if we're out to a supposedly pleasant lunch or helping our kids with homework.
She can turn any conversation into a political discussion and has even begun engaging into political debate over TV commercials and most movies. Everything is liberal vs. conservative with her. The simplest things trigger her and I'm exhausted of talking about this stuff.
Has anyone here experienced this? If so, how did you handle it?
I agree with her on most political issues, but I just don't see the point in discussing it constantly and I think some of these radio hosts are con-artists...

You need to go to Reddit or DU.
And who listens to Glenn Beck?

Yea, pretty much everyone I know except the dyed in the wool leftists have turned pretty hard right after the last few years.
More specifically everyone I know that previously wasn't political but is now is right of center.

could be worse. They could be a libtard.

It's an addiction. You just have to hope they grow out of it. The political slant doesn't really matter

You say you agree with her on most issues, yet you use a Conservative show host as an example as being lost in rhetoric? Have you heard the shite Liberals talk show hosts have been saying the last 6 years?

That’s the thing. Nobody in the right has gone further right. The left has gone so far left it just makes it seem like the right is further right whenever they have believed the same shite the entire time.

Hearing an adult used the word Groomer in earnest makes me laugh at them.

I think r/QAnonCasualties is what you are looking for

This is a good read if you are interested in how she got sucked into way of thinking.
