I am only talking to our side anymore. I no longer care to make the way softer for the normies. You can’t fix stupid.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It sucks but it is what it is. Us nephews lost an uncle after he saw us discussing Col Vindman’s treason. The uncle couldn’t believe we would discuss a US serviceman like that.

Not that we didn’t try to send him info on why we believed that, he just ignored it all & doesn’t have anything to do with us anymore. He served in Vietnam but can’t see the same tyranny happening in his own country. Crazy times.

So sad about your uncle.

I have one like that, too. He has been conservative all his life, but he absolutely hates Trump and will not listen to his wife, his siblings, or anyone. It’s like a switch has flipped with him and he goes nuts (almost foaming at the mouth) at the mention of Trump. I have no idea where all the hatred and venom comes from, much less the idiocy.

Now he has dug in so deep, I think it’s a matter of “principle” for him that he won’t back down. “saving face” or something.

Sorry about your uncle. I think a lot of people are being blinded. They are in denial. Look how we get treated on Free Republic.

Very sad to hear that. So many families torn asunder.

There must be a boom big enough to convince people that they’ve been fooled. All of us. Otherwise I don’t see how things can be healed.

Then what would he have said about Lt. William Calley at My Lai?

Ask him if he ever heard of Bowe Bergdahl...
