I have a friend who would totally get this joke... and then lecture me about how we're all living in fear and COVID isn't bad and no one should wear a mask and you're infringing on his rights to wear a mask around him and other nonsense.
Honestly, if we hadn't been through a lot of shit together in our teens and twenties, I wouldn't be friends with him. We have a deep bond, but he's a fucking moron.
He needs someone like you for sure. It seems a lot of people who get radicalized double down so hard they lose their friends and family and then can only justify doubling down further due to the Sunken Cost fallacy.
It's like with flat earthers: "well I stopped talking to everyone I cared about over this so if it's not true then that was all for nothing"
I hit my breaking point with a lifelong friend like that in 2020 and severed all ties. Trump did a real number on this country and its people.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause.
He's both.
Your friends don't have to be perfect and you shouldn't feel like you have to defend the love you have for your friend.
I agree and I don't expect my friends to be perfect, but trust me, this guy is something else. I was going on vacation to Niagara Falls and he told me something like "I was there when I was 13 in a trench coat and a video camera filming all the people with turbans. For a long time, I thought that was stupid, but now I realize it was a good idea."
