I'm not trying to understand any longer why someone would back a man who talked about murdering children or allowed people to die from covid.

Roj, one can at least try to de-Trumpify them. Like I have before.


They don't want to de trumpify. This is their life now, and since they've alienated friends and family with their cultish behavior and conspiracy theories, this is all they have left.

I'm starting to suspect he's got Biden's blessing. Very convenient to always have someone 'sabotaging' the government so it never has to do anything.

They want us to come together and heal. I'm worried that if I get within a few feet of the other side, they'll pull out a knife and stick it in.

We'll never come together and heal, so you likely don't have to worry about getting close to the other side because they in turn won't get close to you.

What makes you think that? They are apparently doing it to prevent a Trumpist takeover of the state.

I realized that I didn't want anything to do with fanbases of either side a while back. I originally didn't like one side, until I realized the other side is equally as stupid.

This is why I've voted for Godzilla in the past several elections. We wouldn't be the shithole we are now if he were President.

I kinda want to say the latter because Trumpism is insane and while neoconservatism is a failed disaster they at least live in the same reality as other people.

I held out hope till 2020 that there were still many normal people among the Trump fanbase who could be pulled back from the brink. 2020 and the reaction to the election among people I know convinced me I was wrong about that.

After talking to a good number of Trump fans following the election, I realized the Kool aid wasn't just drank, it was forced into them via IV. They really think Trump won and Biden rigged the election.
