I am stepping it up. Zero tolerance of cult behavior or blather.

I'm done with them and I will not go down their rabbit holes.

"Did you support the conviction of Clinton?" was a recent one that found some common ground with some friend's "friend" who said that "the impeachment witnesses were a joke!".

They didn't think Clinton should have been convicted over his perjury, but as I reminded them, McConnell did!

...just yesterday. I had known her for 30+ years. She posted something really stupid about Nancy ripping up the speech of lies. However, her mother was a single mom, who actually was on stamps to supplement her grocery bill. It's amazing she cannot connect the help she received growing up to what Trump wants to do today. Or, she's just plain stupid. I'm thinking the latter, because if she put any thought into it, she'd realize a social program got her through her childhood.

Some would never have gone to college without SS survivor benefits after losing a parent. Some had food stamps from a young age or they would not have eaten. Amazing how quickly they forget once they get a little money. The I've got mine you get yours is really strong with those supporters of Trump.
