As opposed to "knowing all along that they're lying, and not caring."

She was the president of Young Repugs in college and has never voted for anyone other than a repug her entire life, she was a True Believer. Her mother had 8 kids because she didn't believe in birth control. She won't vote Democrat, it's just not in her and her large family would disown her if they found out she did.

Now, she is also one of the smartest people I've ever met and is so compassionate and giving and is capable of recognizing the truth. She hates Scott and never voted for him even once and she's now waking up to the reality of who drummpf is because of his handling of CV19 and it's also awakened her to Fox lies as well. Yes, sadly, it often has to effect repugs personally before they change, but he has lost a reliable repug vote in the state of FL forever due to his murderousness and blatant profiteering off of PPE.

selling our democracy to Vlad wasn't enough, the pussy grabbing wasn't enough, the countless acts of racism wasn't enough.

She's not a good person.

I get how hard it is to face the inherent evil in our loved ones. I have a few too. But your friend is evil.

She is not an evil person, you can think what you want, you don't know her. You didn't work side by side and travel all over the country for work together got 8 years. I hear your point and if she were anyone else, I'd agree. But she has stood beside me during my darkest hours and never faltered, when I had surgery, she came over and stayed with me at least 2x a week to give my husband a break. My son was a drug addict for 11 years, I didn't desert him and he finally is getting the mental help he needed and no meth for a year! I won't desert her because she needs me now. Her husband, 2 sisters and a BIL of 50 years passed away in 2019 and she needs me. It's very inconvenient and sometimes messy but we love each other and aren't about to ditch our 30 year friendship. Life is complicated.
