All but two of my Navy/USMC buddies have fallen for the trap. They're ALL either Repub or Libertarian. They also didn't do shit in their communities to help stop the coof mandate madness. All but 1 are double or triple vaxxed, too. They believe the MSM hype re: Ukraine almost to a cult like status. And about 6 are currently making plans to go fight with these Nazi battalions. Ignorantly, of course, as none of them are actual Nazi sympathizers.
I have a Ukrainian Jewish uncle who used to claim he was more agnostic than Jewish...up until Ukraine. He also has a Ph,D. in Philosophy, a Master's in Mathematics and another Masters in Computer Science. Used to be a college professor. Now he's claiming he's Jewish again, and supports Kolomoisky and Zelensky. I tried to talk to him, tried to show him the research, but because he's an el'itist academic, he won't believe someone who didn't graduate college like myself.
It's sad, but I'm going back to what I was doing before this Ukraine thing. I'm not bothering with walking anyone up anymore. They're on their own as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't matter what we do with these types of people. They are bound and determined to believe the lies. Doesn't matter what we say or do, they're looking for any excuse to go back to sleep because it's easier that way.
