(28,821 posts)i've given up on the son of a dear friend of mine, who has been dogging me on fb with outrageous, delusional crap about the treasonous democrats, "killary" can't have his guns, said that i am delusional, and that anyone who doesn't know this is not a true american.
i've taken to deleting his responses to my political posts because he cannot be reasoned with and when he claimed that i was not a true american that was it. i've known him since he was BORN.
he claims to not watch fox. where is this coming from?! he's in northern CA/ southern OR. the only link he shared with me was stopthefed.com. I did not visit the page. my theory is the NRA and hate radio, but wow! he is woefully underinformed with regard to actual history.
i just wonder where these people are getting brainwashed. but i agree with you that this is what has occurred; i cannot explain his take on current events otherwise.
of course he does not believe the polls - they're corrupt. doesn't read or follow any kind of corporate news - rigged, corrupt.
I also felt the need to say to him, "you do know that when Hillary wins, it will be because millions more people voted for her than for Trump, right?"
i think of Rwanda. I agree with you. It's going to be ugly. My personal theory is that there will not be as many people conducting violent acts as those people think there will be, though. Terrible incidents here and there, lives ruined, hopefully not too many injuries or fatalities. but i do sadly expect some sort of physical violence. their passion is real even if their beliefs are patently false.
