Greetings from South Carolina.
I have returned from the swamps. 2020 was a lost year. I completely lost track of time. It was not relevant.
I also lost most of my family and friends to Trumpitis. They were well on their way and I had already broken off with many but then Q appeared and the rest set up camp on the edge of their flat earth.
It was as if I was suddenly surrounded by Klingons or Deatheaters or Orcs(choose your saga.) They shape-shifted into strangers. I still love them but I love who they were and I have fond memories. That is all that is left.
AND contrary to popular belief, I did try to talk to them. I spent time at the beginning working with methods recommended by those who work with cults. Nothing worked. I have come to believe that any change will have to come from inside out.
They are impervious to anything from the outside. Without an epiphany, they are gone. I realize that changes do come from the inside but it is impossible to even get them to hold an iota of a different idea. Normally, people will take in some different ideas and mull them over. Not now.
It is tiring being part of major historic events.
Take care!

compliments USAF. GRITS.....
....are still a daily staple for me. Besides some southern friends, GRITS are the best thing I got from those days.
Sorry for your loss of family and friends.
In my mind, there are two pandemics that erupted from the tRump years. MAGA and Covid. Covid has hopefully found a solution, vaccine! MAGA is a cancer with no viable treatment.
6. I live among them,
I don't see them changing. I saw the best advice here I believe; it is impossible for there to be a debate between a rational person and an irrational person.
