I haven’t quite accepted my loss yet. I keep thinking I can win my friend back by convincing him, finally, of the absolute corruption of trump and his administration. But it’s truly spitting in the wind. How did that happen to good people? It really is similar to Hitler’s Germany. When I told my friend that (that Trump was like Hitler or that his followers were like Hitler’s followers), back in 2017 or 2018, he told me in a very righteous tone that I was disrespecting the President and America. He bought the Fox-Trump Nationalist rhetoric hook, line and sinker. And it sunk our friendship. And it’s sinking America. I am clinging to these hearings like the small life boat they are for our Drmocracy.

The unfortunate part is our ex-friends are probably not watching or listening and still bashing Biden. It's an argument that we can't win. Not many people are willing to admit how they've been fooled so completely.

Our "lost" "friends" are so caught up in the rhetoric that there is no salvaging them, I am afraid. I do so wonder about how good they were in the first place, that the rhetoric has found a happy home in their heads.

A former co-worker posted a meme of $6 gas, and asked "And you're still worried about January 6". This is a cop, a guy who swore an oath to "defend" the constitution of the US and state.

He just posts countering “articles” that say there isn’t price gouging. Cannot reason with him.

In Europe gasoline is more like that price per liter, has been for years. UK inflation rate now 9.1%. Biden’s fault?
