I must admit I've never been one for "I told you so's" howeveeerr....
I fukn can't wait to have the "I told you so" look on my face when my fiancé (who truly believes I have completely lost my marbles over the last 5 years) turns to me & says "you were right". He is ALWAYS right & is SUPER competitive & truly can't stand having to say these words to. To his credit tho, he's no cheater, so he does & has said this to me in the past, so......
You really have no idea. Of all the different aspects of reality these few years that make me feel like I'm in the twilight zone, this by far is the most difficult. Now I misrepresented him that was not my intention. He is 100% MAGA all the waay. He absolutely supports POTUS 100%. He stands with him but has little faith. He is "realistic". He works very long days as a roofer & watches movies & plays video games during his free time. He is just soo competitive by nature that he must be opposed to my emotional arguments. I will always be a bleeding heart person. I am obsessed with truth because truth helps me to understand things. He & I used to have the most intense intelligent discussions & debates. In fact when we met & until 2015 he was a Republican Patriotic good old southern gentleman. Who could not comprehend concepts like income inequality & systematic racism. He did not see Trayvon Martin as a victim, police as racist, or how anyone being against Islamism could be considered Islamophobic. I had no idea socialism was communism. I didn't know anyone doubted the moon landings, the earth being flat, who the Sumerians were, what the "out of Africa"theory was, that the media lied, that congress people could lie during hearings or that Darwin was no longer thought of as a theory. It is because of him that I began to look into answers I had accepted from sources proclaimed as trusted institutions. It is the condescending manner in which "Science" has realigned itself & talked down to the people w/nonsense assaulting my common sense which ensured I would dig & dig no matter what I found. (by mentioning the above topics I am not stating support for or against any)
My bleeding heart led by lazy acceptance of the fastest & most common response foolishly led him astray. However, even tho he is a fighter w/ integrity & honor he does not like to call attention to himself needlessly. I am quite the opposite. I don't like attention but IDGAF about what any1 thinks. I can NOT keep my mouth shut when something is off & I take no issue w/standing alone. The more I discovered & shared, the more he fact checked me (quietly), the more & more fake news & Google turned him against me. I became more frantic over time & he became more guarded.
So I gave up. We don't discuss these things or anything that matters really. We are together because we love each other. He comes to me here & there to tell me I was right about this or that. Sometimes to ask me things like "how can the election be overturned, why aren't you worried?" or "aren't you the slightest bit concerned, the FBI says Flynn lied they're going to put him in jail?". As time goes on I know that he is starting to see I was right. In fact when he said "why do you want to go to DC on the 6th what can you do?" my emotional tearful response was "YOU DON"T GET IT, THAT man is NOT the fukn President, he WILL NOT be the President! He will NEVER step foot in the Oval Office again! I am willing to die on the steps of the White House if need be. THIS IS IT THIS IS OUR FIGHT & OUR LAST STAND. You can come with me or you can stay behind the choice is yours"
he replied "No, your not gong alone & you'd better come up with another plan cuz I have no intention on dying that day"
So we might not be on the same page, but he is with me in this fight in his way & will be when it matters most. I for one am fine with that.
I am glad there are other people this fired up! I live in rural Oregon and it’s more conservative than Portland but I still have to watch what I say. Interacting with other people like yourself online is really nice.
Let’s pray everything goes well and we don’t have to do anything drastic like dying in the Capital. ??
Yes, I have learned this the long and hard way. Still my instinct to contradict & call out can not be silenced at times. It has made my life tragically more difficult that necessary.
I can't wait for my mom and inlaws to find out. They're quietly smug at this point. I haven't said anything.

LOL! I have a conservative friend who still only watches Fox and teases me about my "conspiracy theories." I have the same anticipation you have!!
Yeah he still loves Tuker
Not on this.
