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.

If you like and respect them they are good people. Remember they are victims of intense brainwashing. In a way, they are hypnotized and when the topic of Trump comes up they have been programed to immediately go straight to emotion and bypass logic. Hang in there, and be there for them when they start to come out from under the spell.
Thank you for the reply. Neither of these individuals are flaming liberals and I really only encounter them in a professional environment. One is a brilliant chiropractor that has helped me overcome debilitating back issues and the other is a coworker that sees through most of the BS, but for whatever reason they have been hypnotized by the media pendulum. I don't see either very often and this subject has only come up one time with each, unprovoked. I guess they felt comfortable enough sharing those feelings with me, so maybe I should feel flattered? 🤷♀️
