I'm hoping the trump brand will now and in the future be synonymous with

the January 6th coup attempt, insurrection, whatever you want to call it. Especially since the videos and photos show so many people wearing trump merch such as the red make America great again baseball caps, trump flags, t-shirts, etc. The entire coup attempt literally has trump written all over it.

Before covid, theres a couple friends I would visit who had friends who are right wingers.

I would get little clues here and there about some of their views. They would spout anti Obama or pro Koch bros rhetoric. Conspiracy theories like fake moon landing beliefs and chem trails. Oh and the fires in California were not a big deal, more like exciting. It was all kinda disturbing but they seemed harmless, and fringe minority. But I feel like that’s all changed now. They are not harmless, as individuals, but they are part of a dangerous movement. I’m posting this because I would like some feedback as to what to do. I don’t have a lot of friends, or family. I feel like I’m losing so many people to trumpism. Do I not visit my friends who associate with them? Do I even bring this up with my friends who associate with them? Am I being too judgmental? Or do I keep this too myself and just continue these relationships and ignore the nutty parts of these people?
My friends don’t seem to have any problems with these loonies, and I sometimes wonder what my friends true colors are. I’ve learned to not discuss politics with family members. They mostly vote third party.

Don't impeach Trump: Treat Him Like a Civil War Traitor

The inglorious, deadly siege of the U.S. Capitol last week has left Congress, once again, no choice but to impeach Donald Trump as punishment for his role in instigating the lawless throngs that brought to a halt the certification of Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.

So maybe trump can't "shoot someone on 5th Avenue"...

We will soon see. IMHO he is responsible for these 4 deaths (edit 5 deaths now), from the Capitol building yesterday.
Not gonna count all the covid deaths under his watch and disastrous chaotic mis management. Although mismanagement is not the word at all, more like sabotage.
Even though I feel a fool for entertaining this thought but maybe his Teflon coating is finally wearing down?

The politically-connected son of Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge was among the band of Trump- supporting marauders who ransacked the U.S. capitol building on Wednesday.
