Just found out a friend was a Trump Chump

[Baltimike]

and I am in shock.

This is a decent guy. He went off the deep end about this 'fake' virus. He said Fauci has been wrong about everything and that Trump shut everything down. He said if I were to send him links, NOTHING from CNN.

I. am. in. shock.

This is a nice guy. Jovial. Holy shit...it was crazy. He said he wears a mask, but that he shouldn't have to...and any business that wants to open, should open.

I hadn't spoken to him in a while, and he just got out of the hospital for hernia surgery, that he was mad covid prevented him from getting sooner, because elective procedures were banned while we dealt with this.

I'm still in shock, and venting...but they're out there. Lunatics each one.

How on EARTH can anyone try to intimate for a nanosecond that Trump closed anything down?

1. That's something my Trumpet relative keeps saying-- it's the Covid RESTRICTIONS-

that cause him trouble, not the Covid.

You know, "I had to cancel my trip to Italy because of Covid restrictions."

He meant that it's these damned stupid irrelevant restrictions that cause trouble. I said, "No, it's the COVID that made you cancel your trip. The restrictions are there to keep the disease from killing more people."

Sounds like your friend has the same attitude.

In the next year, we're going to have to figure out how to deal with these people who are going to be disillusioned or angry when Trump gets stomped in the election.
Maybe they'll go back to being normal people again?

2. he kept saying, "What did Fauci get right" over and over again

I'm still in shock
