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.

Putting the onus on them is how it works. You wait for them to spew their stupidity. Ask innocently “What do you mean by that? Can you show me this?” This works wonders because as soon as they’re put on the spot their programming tells them they should be able to Google and present a mountain of evidence. When they look, they find none and it causes a melt down. They’ll find hit pieces but you ask for official court documents, charging accusations from a legal establishment etc. Do this every single time and they’ll eventually stop saying it around you or they’ll end up going off on you for questioning them =]
In years past, two shitlibs at separate times told me that Pizzagate was "fake news." I asked each in turn, "Then tell me, would I do better playing dominoes on cheese or pasta?" They had no idea what I was talking about, I pointed this out to them, and told them that they have no idea what Pizzagate is about, and are only reciting media talking points.
Ha! I will do this -- although, I'm pretty sure that the one would bring up the "Grab her by the P" comment (that I found to be hilarious and I'm a woman).
I’ve had this exact situation pop up. Reference points. He was in a consensual sexual relationship. While I was talking to this older woman I looked her in the eyes and said “Let’s be real, you’re attractive for your age, but back in your 20’s you were more than likely quite the foxy catch. If someone had recorded the things you said in your bedroom and they were aired to the public how well do you think that would be received?” She didn’t have much to say. He’s a billionaire, it was lockerroom talk, guys AND women say MUCH worse.
My sil pointed to the grabbem by the * comment as evidence of how bad Trump is.
I told her an adult male being attracted to and dabling with willing adult females is better than a demented pedophiles groping little girl's breast buds right in public where we all see it.
We are no longer friends.
The key thing about the GEBP comment is that Trump said “They let you do it” which means it’s consensual. If some people find the phrase to be off-putting, that’s understandable, but it doesn’t refer to anything illegal. The pussy hat marchers were talking crap about assault. They were way out of line.
Anyway, who else would wear a red GEBP hat?
