I was called a bootlicker by a "progressive" friend

[Nictuku]

6. I've got a couple of friends like that....

They also were Jill Stein supporters.

These people I've known for over 40 years. They were freaking hippies for goodnes sake. One I met when I lived in Maui, and I met her parents, I think they at one time lived in one of those hippy communes.

But today, I see their facebook posts where they are touting this Bill Gates (anti-vaxer) conspiracy theories, they don't believe that the Virus is real.

I just don't get it. It makes me so sad. I think in one case it is the woman being influenced by her husband. The other one has just gone so far left it is circling around to match up with some of the right wing conspiracies.

*sigh*

I love them so much, from what we shared in the past. I just scroll past. I can't bring myself to unfriend them. I would rather quit facebook all together (very close to doing this).

I just don't get it.
