Yes, most of the liberals I know, including my entire family-of-origin except for me, are zombies. They assume I am far right Q ultra MAGA if I say anything negative about Biden, for instance. Definitely have lost all capacity for reason when it comes to politics, Ukraine, and covid. When I remarked that children are being medically altered against their parents' wishes, they called me a conspiracy theorist. They have no idea what is going on in the world, live in tiny little prisons that they call freedom. And yes, like with your friend, if I continue to try to discuss pretty much anything with them, they will get very nasty, as if I am the enemy. Of course, their president (not mine) told them I was a domestic terrorist not long ago, and they weirdly worship him. So, we have superficial relationships and don't discuss anything of value. I limit the amount of time I spend with them. As for conservative zombies, many of those downright worship Trump, who is probably just another player in the show that is being put on for us, keeping us believing that a different person at the helm will set this ship aright. Not gonna happen. We are in for it now. Hang on! (spoken like a true conspiracy theorist)
I just watched The Jones Plantation last night, which illustrates how Democracy is a slave system, among other things. Check it out!
I will definitely do so. thanks for that.
