Yep! Now she is a Trump supporter! She tried to tell me that Biden is too old and isnt running the country and other BS Trump crap!

In an interview with Time magazine trump made it clear he wouldn't rule out authoritarian measures on issues like this if he's reelected.
Actually the Time interview made it very clear that trump WILL be a dictator who would pardon all January 6th rioters, allow states to prosecute women who violate abortion bans, Use the national guard and military to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, and fire U.S. attorneys who won't carry out orders to prosecute someone, pardon all January 6th rioters, fire career government employees for not being loyal, refuse to come to the aid of NATO allies who don't "pay up".
This is in trump's own words, so anyone minimizing this is being disingenuous.
Keep in mind this is in trump's own words.

(100,159 posts)It's an anti-democratic quip here, a blurb about how gas prices were better in 2020 there, next thing you know, they're full blown propagandists.
I know, I've lost way too many friends and people I know to the Fox Ministry Of Propaganda. It's a drug. It's rotted as many minds as the worst street drugs have. Turn that shit off. Block it at every opportunity. It's bad for you!

(6,971 posts)I was the oldest of one, so I don't know what it is like to have siblings - (I do know what it is like to have friends. and losing them can also be bad, but I'm sure not quite as bad.) It's a grief that needs to be worked through, just when you are already finding it difficult to summon energy.. energy.

(253 posts)might really not be. And how and when do you find out?
A friend of mine "came out" a couple of months ago and I gotta tell ya, I was floored. We were texting and he started quoting Tucker Carlson and some others. He told me that he's been on "alternate" media for a while.
It's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Stepford Wives. They look the same but the inside is completely different than what you thought.
I looked my friend up on a voting website and found that he is registered Republican. All the conversations we had a while ago ... what is true?
One of his other friends quit communicating with him. Since he "came out"
I still communicate with him now, but rarely.
And If Biden wins, are he and I still friends?
If Trump wins, I guess we know how it will go.
I've heard about war time economy...
But this is war time relationships.

(253 posts)Scientists have been studying the Trump KoolAid and have determined that there is an addictive substance in it, with chemical properties similar to a substance found only in Russia.
The study is ongoing with hopes of finding an antidote.
