That is my take as well. I no longer keep up with my college friends form the 70's. They are either stupid or willfully blind to reality. I have no time for such people, and I do not want to be friends with people who would destroy the Republic.
A few years ago, when I still had a Fakebook account, I received a friend request from a college classmate. I looked at his profile, and his favorite TV show was Rachel Maddow. Only a leftist loon would list that as his favorite show. Needless to say, I did not respond to his request.
Fakebook - I like that.... One of the friends I mentioned in Ithaca, NY told me recently the only news shows she watches are: Rachel Maddow and NBC. Since I didn’t feel like getting into IT with her, I let it slide..I wanted so bad to tell her that she’s not getting anywhere near the truth doing that but there’s no sense in trying to talk common sense to people like that.
We have friends out in the state of WA who don’t have cable so she is pretty much at the mercy of network news so I let her know what’s really going on in politics. She appreciates it. Amazing when we compare what she hears with what is carried on cable or the internet. Oh! - she doesn’t have internet either...her husband is too paranoid to sign up...I tell her she needs a new husband but after 60+ years - why bother? Too much work training them.
