42. I have a friend who's drank the RW kool aid so badly

She thinks it’s a conspiracy and she wants to exercise her constitutional right to go out, go get her hair done etc. She has actually said that this happening was a ruse to get Trump to fail. She’s even said this is basically the flu.

I don’t comment on her posts but I do see them. I kind of reply to her posts in some ways, especially any news from Texas. I shared an article that showed Texas’s, where my friend lives, Covid-19 cases were going up, two weeks after they reopened the state.

I’ve shared posts stating that “Coronavirus doesn’t give a crap what you think” and its implicitly aimed towards her.

I have other GOP Trump loving friends but I’ve only seen one spouting the RW BS on Coronavirus.

I’m sort of hoping those who don’t really comment on it have changed their minds on Trump but I’m not so sure.
