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.

This exactly. First it was favorite actors from old TV shows, then singers from favorite groups, then old favorite baseball or football players, and now it is friends, acquaintances, and relatives. I don't watch much TV anymore other than stuff I have on Plex (and OAN), I don't like really any new music anymore, I don't watch baseball or NFL (I do still like College football though), and I no longer associate with a bunch of people ever since the pandemic made so many people transparent.
Once these people say what they really feel it makes it clear to me that I am not their core audience and I simply walk away. I don't need that in my life.
Ditto. Moved out of Chicago because of exactly this. True colors were shown when the wife and I started getting asked to show our “cards” anywhere we went. Never forgetting.
I feel ya fren.
