Over 50 years ago a woman I knew complained that it was hardly worth voting as her husband's vote cancelled hers. I was much too mild in telling her that it was vital she cancel his vote. Now, I'd shout it from the mountain tops.

(26,281 posts)at the time there was alot of fake positive bullshit about Trump supposedly doing great things but as more and more of Trumps corruption and inability to lead our country came to light he gradually stopped watching and started claiming it was due to the left lying.
Now he will not even listen to the news other than the right wing radio which lies through its teeth about Trump and the truth of his and the other Republicans incompetence and corruption.

With trumpies they are otherwise 'good' people that are a little eccentric when it comes to their politics. The fact is, they are delusional and right wing politics is their drug.
My wife's aunt I can talk to all day (as long as it is not politics) about grand kids soccer among other things. When it comes to politics she becomes a Ms Hyde. She posted on Facebook the other day about Michelle Obama is really a man, which is why I DON"T see any of per posts any more. But this is normal and snorting coke isn't.
You cannot reason with these people without them becoming very combative.
