These are terrible people and if you’re still a Republican at this point, it’s not a deal breaker for you.

    I have family that are Republicans. They view fox news entertainment and use social media for news. When all the information they get is absolute trash, how can you not support republicans? Kamala isn’t Democratically elected to be a DNC candidate, and no one is happy with that. Why would you be happy with that, if nearly nobody is? Democrats are totally cool with guys saying they’re women, in order to win more sports matches because the same men aren’t competitive against men. Why would you not support that? Trump had the best economy ever. Do you not want a good economy? Trump isn’t part of the political elite, a group of people that try to force their will onto the people. Kamala has been in politics in years, and is of course part of the political elite. Why wouldn’t you vote for someone that is apart of the political elite? Doctors and Gay people want to force kids to use hormones and convince them to be gay, and democrats support them. Do you want to force kids to be gay and use hormone blockers or take unnecessary hormones?

    If I tell you the above in a vacuum, along with most of your friends and relatives, how can you not believe that is reality? I mean you see the above mention in the news, in social media. This is “of course” reality, and people who believe otherwise are idiots, malicious , or crazy.

    Until we deal with the crazy shit posted on social media, and Fox news posting and talking crazy shit (both I bet propped up quit a bit by foreign adversaries), people will have an alternate reality fed to them that is tailored to their wants and fears. Many people who support trump/Republicans are good people, they just are living in a different reality where Trump may have some flaws, but the left is absolutely bonkers. Many don’t watch his many rallies, and the news the consume aren’t honest in showing how he tried to steal the last presidential election, raped women and children, is in a worse mental state than Biden, is very ignorant of local and world politics, and is extremely selfish.

      I know what it’s like to have people who you respect turn out to be MAGA. You spend a lot of time trying to come up with an excuse so that you can reconcile your respect for them with the horrible shit they are staunchly defending. And what you say is definitely true, or at least was. But Trump was initially elected in 2016. He has been on and in the news daily for almost a decade.
      People who are still MAGA, have made a choice. They have either decided that they are ok with it all, or they are willing to pretend and look away. They choose the echo chamber to drown out the reality that they want to ignore.
