Had a mild case a month or so ago with my nephew on Facebook. He had passed along some "body language expert" who claimed he could tell Biden was lying about Tara Reade in his interview on Morning Joe. We exchanged a couple of comments back and forth. Gave him the info on all the different problems with Reade's story, and told him when the complaints reached 20 to wake me up. Then he commented that Trump was a liar and terrible at the job. This is a young man who was raised on Fox News. I left it at that this was a binary choice...Biden or Trump, and we didn't have the luxury of people's "principles" this time around. You either voted to maintain a democracy or vote for authoritarianism. He never came back with a comment. I just think a lot of people who combined hating Hillary with deciding to roll the dice have come to the realization that Trump is a mess who is in way over his head.
