I totally understand that feeling. My two oldest brothers are MAGA. Plus my weird roommate. Their minds have been poisoned with hate and ignorance. Faux news and propaganda radio did their job. 😕
This is a lament that too many people see, feel and understand. It is as incomprehensible to me, as it is to the rest of us. We do have hope, however, as we can’t continue, as a people and society, like this. It will take decades, but we will learn to see, hear, feel and care about oneanother again. We just have to do our parts and be loving in all we do.
Your words hit the mark for many families these days. I am flummoxed every day as to how some of my family fell for the hollow words, lies, and outright cruelty the MAGA cult abides by. I reminded my oldest daughter in one early conversation that she was not brought up this way, and because she has always been a kind and loving person, her support of the Idiot and his actions is incomprehensible to me. At this point we don’t talk politics at any family gatherings, but all my grandchildren know where I stand and why, so that gives me hope.
This has not been my experience. The people I know that embraced MAGA are wealthy. They were always greedy and selfish, braggarts. But I always thought they held basic American values, a belief in equality and the rule of law. Now I know who they really are. They will throw away our Republic and their fellow Americans for their own wealth and status.
Thank you for your moving thoughts. I hear you. Believe me, I hear you. As for THAT man, my disgust for THAT man has been the same since he first entered the primaries. THAT man can go to hell!
I think the description of the glasses an headphones are very accurate. With friends that support him it’s like we are in two different worlds. Thank you
Your welcome. I think it is important that we lament what is going on here. Somewhere within the person is the values like kindness, compassion. We lament when they seem to be gone.
My family is also fractured by this monster. I don’t know how we will ever heal. But I have hope.
I’m so sorry to hear that, Claire. Thank you for reading❤️
Damn. I feel this.
Thanks for reading, Sam.
Wow this is powerful! Thanks for writing!
Thanks for reading, Scott!

Thank you for reading, Ric!

Incomprehensible is the right word. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing❤️

Yeah, that’s probably true for a lot of people too. Where do you think we go with that? Thanks for reading, Ann.
This is exactly how I feel about my “maga” friends.
