Thats funny … I have the same shit in my family. I got 3 uncles in their mid-late 60s that short-circuit when u ask for ONE thing he has done that is Illegal that is provable. 100% response is “IF YOU STILL DONT GET IT … YOU NEVER WILL!!!”
One of them lives in Florida. I asked what he thought about DeSantis … “hes a piece of shit loser blah blah blah …”. I ask why? Hes racist, sexist, facist … ask why that is … MELTDOWN.
Its a hyper-unstable cult. If you question their obedience and loyalty, they freak the fuk out.
It is a cult. I think the NFL and their use of the military and expanding their female fan base has inculcated the messaging: "stick by your team, no matter what."
Just out of curiosity - when you've asked for evidence and they've given none, have you ever poked the bear even more and said, "well it seems that you don't have any."
Yup. Had some good old friends over a while back and usually we don't get into politics but they said something and I started asking around, and all that happened is that they a) brick wall on any kind of facts/sauce b) keep talking about how terrible trump is. Luckily I was able to point out to them that 'you guys think you're liberals but look at yourselves you live conservative lives - you go to work, pay your bills, love your kids, etc. - so have you considered the possibility that you're actually conservatives?' If you stay away from the Trump issue (which is their conditioned hypnotic trigger) then you can actually make some headway on specific issues. But for real, people are brainwashed. One upside, they did admit that Joe has dementia and Kamala is a witch, so we were on the same side there...
I've started to tell these type of people that when the fake MSM starts building someone up, then look at who they are trying to tear down.
If they are propping someone up, this is the person one must be weary of. It has become so predictable now.
Ask if they ever try and tear a democrat down like they do with POTUS Trump or other MAGA R's.
Keep pointing out how fake the MSM is and how we don't get "news" any more, but just propaganda and I do include supposed "conservative" news stations or people in this example...not just people on the Left.
It gets them to stop and think about what I've said, though they may not admit it.
