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.

TDS is also prevalent in New Zealand. A good mate of mine went on an anti-Trump rant, exactly as you described. Wants to see him locked up for life. We have plenty of other things in common, and we have been mates for 50 years since school. So I just let him have his say and then changed the subject. He is clearly brainwashed by the relentless propaganda. But I am also self-aware enough to occasionally wonder if us at GAW are not being equally manipulated. Sometimes it is good to hear the other side as a reminder to remain skeptical about everything you believe.
