People Are Trying to ‘Deprogram’ Their MAGA Parents Through Book Clubs

With the political divide in America growing wider, some individuals are turning to unconventional methods to try and bridge the gap with their MAGA-supporting parents.

One approach that has gained traction is forming book clubs where family members can engage in open dialogue and explore new perspectives together.

These book clubs often focus on literature that challenges conservative viewpoints and encourages critical thinking.

By engaging in thoughtful discussions and sharing different viewpoints, participants hope to break down barriers and foster understanding.

While deprogramming a loved one’s deeply held beliefs can be a challenging and emotional process, many are finding value in these book clubs as a way to connect and communicate.

Books such as “The Death of Expertise” by Tom Nichols and “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo have been popular choices for these book clubs.

Through reading and discussing these texts, participants are able to delve into complex social and political issues in a constructive and supportive environment.

While there are no guarantees that these efforts will lead to a change in beliefs, many people believe that engaging in open dialogue is the first step towards building a more united and understanding society.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, book clubs and similar initiatives may provide a valuable tool for those seeking to bridge the gap with their MAGA-supporting parents.
