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?

Ask her what lies about the election? Has she not seen the videos of illegal acts taking place? Show her, they are all over the interwebs, I have some stashed myself. Ruby Freeman and company, the fact of pollwatchers being denied all over, States which illegally changed their voting methods, preprinted ballots and double counted ballots, show her the vids and hard copy evidences.
No one espouses Rush as a role model, she imagines that.
What insurrection? Trump supporters have not staged any such yet.
Is she referring to BLM terrorists or antifa thugs burning America as Pelosi and Harris, biden and Schumer all applauded? Have you shown her the videos of Trump's inauguration when the BLM terrorists and antifas, at the urging of the Left, burned parts of DC to the ground, shown her the Church they burned recently? Show her. Show her the times leftists attacked the Capitol, a friend of obama's even bombed it, Bill Ayers is his name. Does she remember just a couple years ago how the leftist twits attacked Congress in the Capitol over Justice hearings, accosting them as they tried to enter elevators and such? No? Show her. We Trump supporters have done none of that.
What conspiracy theories does she reference, is she trying to say 'Q'? Q has only ever asked us to think for ourselves. What conspiracy theories?
Good griefeses, why do you allow her insanity to rile you? She seems to have cognitive dissonance, as a Catholic she is not disturbed by abortion or queer behavior or pedophilia or treasons, but Orange Man Bad eh?
She has far bigger problems and she is being dishonest with you, you probably cannot help her. She imagines she is better than you, she chooses to be blindly arrogant.
As with all insane people, she has to want help.

'On March 1, 1954, four Puerto Rican Americans fired guns in the House of Representatives, injuring five congressmen. The attackers said they acted to demand independence for the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. (Puerto Ricans have U.S. citizenship but can’t vote for president and have no voting representatives in Congress.) The injured congressmen survived, and the four shooters received prison sentences. President Jimmy Carter commuted one of their sentences in 1977, and granted clemency to the other three in 1979.
On March 1, 1971, a bomb exploded in the Capitol building. While the explosion did not injure anyone, it caused some $300,000 in damage. A group calling itself the Weather Underground claimed to be behind the bombing and said it was in protest of the ongoing U.S.-supported bombing of Laos.
Thirteen years later, on November 7, 1983, a bomb tore through the second floor of the Senate wing of the Capitol. The device detonated late in the evening and no one was harmed, but it caused an estimated $250,000 in damage. A group calling itself the Armed Resistance Unit later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation for military actions in Grenada and Lebanon. Seven people were eventually arrested in connection with the attack.'
