In recent weeks, I've had two people, that I genuinely like and respect, go off the rails on Trump without considering that I may not feel the same way. This brazen confidence of TDS sufferers drives me nuts more than anything. Both have expressed with high emotion how much they hate him and each would like to see him in jail - or worse. In these cases, I've bitten my tongue and changed the subject because I didn't want to ruin the relationship - but at the same time I silently questioned their individuality and common sense. No human is perfect. DJT, while awesome and a very stable genius, has flaws like everyone else. But to ignore the Cadaver in Chief currently acting as pResident and his horrendous performance the past three years while focusing on hating his unfairly represented poltical opposition is just a sign of how well the propaganda has worked. My fear is that these type of people will never see past the lies they've come to believe as gospel and that 2024's election is going to be the most contentious, yet. What do you think will have to happen for these people to see the light? Destruction of the MSM? WWIII? Biden and his global cohorts arrested for crimes against humanity? All of the above? I think next time anyone expresses hate for Trump, I am just going to ask them why they feel that way. I'm thinking they've been told to hate him for so long, they really won't know how to answer.

You sound vaccinated.
OR,
Would you give me your top five items where you believe he has been wrong, or lied?
By offering to hear 'only' the top five, you're suggesting you know there are far, far more. But they won't even be able to come up with 2-3. And if they come back with old tropes like, 'he made fun of disabled people,' you probably know what to do with that, right? (If not, say so and I'll help you.) Or if they come back with, 'he's racist,' you can ask them if they are aware that he dated a black woman for a year and a half. And if they are completely surprised, you can say, 'oh, you didn't know that? I wonder why you didn't know that. Lots of people know that. I did.' Make them feel stupid and question their news sources as well as their intelligence for not knowing something so easy to know.
Thank you. I know about the disabled comment - that was easy to prove if you just watched the whole clip. I did not know he dated a black woman for that long, but did know how well he treats and advocates for his black employees. The drinking bleach debacle gets thrown out a lot and to that I just laugh and say... he absolutely did not say that.
It IS hard to deal with some people because they seem to be so cloaked in their own stupidity. They care nothing about actual truth. I hope you can get through to them, because they clearly need it, but if not, I hope you can maintain a cordial relationship. You can only do what you can do.
