My gay uncle is a Log Cabin, Reagan Republican who has almost fully embraced MAGA.
Including saying Ukraine was asking for Russia to come... and that Finland is actively provoking Russia so they should deal with that... while our family literally has Finnish friends, in Finland. Like we literally have first hand real world knowledge from Finnish citizens, not filtered through any news media, and he just ignores it in favor of the MAGA shit.
It really is remarkable.
Because none of it is founded in logic.
Can't reason somebody out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
I mean this with all respect as a fellow human who has to deal with such bullshit from those we assume deserve respect and continued deference: it's not remarkable, and the sooner we stop remarking on it, the sooner they go back to yelling at their own backyards.
Giving these fuckclowns a mic (or more to the point, caring one wit they found one) is perpetuating the illusion of legitimacy of whatever "argument" they're regurgitating at the moment. Just, simply: stop. 🤷🏼♀️
Also, take care of yourself. They won't. But, you should. ♥️
