My lib daughter is horrified. My wife's lib friend is horrified. Both have young friends/relatives at HKIA right now. Status unknown. 1 Marine, 1 Airman. They are starting to wake up.
For those experiencing the same with friends & family - GO EASY ON THEM. Do not play the "i told you so" or "what did you think he was going to do" yet. If I had played that on my daughter, she would just shut down.
Get them to answer their on questions. Be supportive. Don't slam their naivete/stupidity just yet.
The plan appears to be to crash the entire planet on the media to wake these people up. Go easy on their feelings.......fuck feelings. Anything at this point to make their experience more jarring is a feature not a bug.
Yeah, my lib Mom is also horrified. I was on the phone with her and actually trying to make her feel a bit better by not being too intense about Afghanistan and then SHE started leading the criticism of how the whole thing was handled. Interesting times.

Good advice. Tough to follow, but good advice.
Yes, right now you really don't have to say anything. Sit back, shut up and let Biden/Harris/Milley destroy the woke liberal narrative.

Excellent advice. I'd also avoid the "miss Trump yet?" kind of comments. Let them miss him on their own.
We took the red pills in self administered doses. Our loved libs just had a Yule log sized red pill drop kicked up their asses.
