It's astounding how accurate this is. I spent 2016 - 2024 playing this game with a friend that I eventually cut off.
He'd parrot something insane that he didn't fact check.
I'd point out the flaws.
He'd come back with his google search results.
I'd actually read them and point out half of them disagreed with him and the other half were verifiably trash.
He'd run away from the conversation and refuse to respond to anything political I say until he forgets; cuz he never learns.
Same. I lost my 15 year best friend over this earlier this year. It still hurts and it sucks but I'm not friends with fascists
It's sad cuz I've watching this guy pick up and put down 30 different interests all in a desperate search for external validation.
MAGA is a cult.
i cut off my own mom bc she thinks being trans is a jewish conspiracy and refuses to talk to me about literally anything else because i'm trans, and burnt a 15+ year friendship because he refused to have a conversation that wasn't some stupid debate-me bro culture war bullshit, even when i literally cried and begged. sucks but i can't save them, and i won't be bullied for the sake of a relationship that's clearly already over for them.
you did the right thing. stay strong, friend. 🫂
they often posts links that easy to discredit or debunk, because they dont check the contents of the links themselves.
You just described every fucking republican I know.
