Luckily she is in another state and we only email each other because phone conversations are difficult as it typically veers off to the political and that never goes well.
And yes, it is very much like a cult. I think she got this way because she lives in the middle of nowhere and gets her news from fox.
My father would be rolling in his grave if he knew of her politics.

Just to give you an idea, I recently sent her the photo of the trump sons with the dead leopard they shot.
Her response: she did not approve but at least the animals they killed on safari died quickly as opposed to the dogs involved in dog fighting rings. (doublethink?)
I said both the hunter and the dog fighter were immoral and inhuman.

No progress - just frustration.
Glad I don't have any Trump friends. As the old saying goes, you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family.
