We agreed to meet after I sent him the email I posted here a few weeks ago.
I agreed to listen to his response that he wanted to make.
Well, it was a long rant about abortion, LGBTQ+, the "open borders," for which Biden should be executed for treason, "wokeness", well, I think you get the gist of it.
He denied any "proof" of Trump's wrong doing as media lies.
He said there was no insurrection on January 6th.
The 2020 election was stolen.
Oh my god it's breaking my heart just to recount how into the cult he has fallen.

I've lost my father.
I can't think if him the same way when he supports fascism.

Trump has destroyed so many relationships. My former BFF of 36 years dumped me because I'm not MAGA.
