A friend for 40+ years posted this on Facebook "I have always thought I was the beneficiary of an excellent education because my parents sent me to private Catholic schools. I thought we were taught well in the areas of research, critical thinking and logic. I am disheartened by the sheer number of people who shared my educational background who boarded and rode the Trump train, who bought into the lies around the election, who hold Rush Limbaugh up as a role model, who attempt to justify the insurrection and who spread conspiracy theories such as those espoused by QAnon. I now wonder if the schools that I’ve always considered to be of a higher standard were either just average or just elitist?" I want to respond, not to start a fight or WW3 but everything that I start to writer gets my blood boiling. Yes, I know I could ignore it, delete her or snooze her BUT Q tells us we need to help educate and I am at a loss. So, I thought I would reach out to my fellow frens and get some help and ideas. Anyone?

I know what you mean; hell those comments make me mad. Those schools were doing exactly what they planned on doing - putting sheep out into the world. Just know that if you respond to this, you may lose a friend of 40 years (like many of us already have).
You’re right. I had a friend I was pretty close with for 25 years who thinks her views are the only ones that matter. I tried to avoid politics when we’d see each other because I know she’s always been a democrat but I had been an independent for 28 years so I’ve always been into research. She mentioned getting the vaccine so I told her to research it first. She went off on me. Then she mentioned the riots & I told her they’re mainly in democrat ran cities. She flipped on me. She talked about Jan 6th so told her how I believe the capital breach was a set up. I thought she was gonna attack me. Now we avoid each other. Some people don’t want to know the truth.
