Yep! I used to work at a courthouse and befriended one of the security guards there, we bonded over soccer and Star Trek so I followed him on FB. Oh boy. We found common ground on abortion but then he went deep into conspiracy holes. Like QAnon stuff. It was jarring with the person I knew...
He eventually unfriended me when he got mad when I said Trump was a criminal and Biden wasn't. The cognitive dissonance overrode our common ground. I have since stopped trying to be nice to Trumpers
Well, Biden IS a war criminal. We definitely need to hold Democrats responsible too. But, I've seen a lot of people I knew growing up fall hard into conspiracy crap. We used to have different opinions now we have different facts
