I suspect that people who reject friends and family over politics are victims of fake news. Here's a simple litmus test. Ask them if they believed the Trump-Russia collusion scam and the Hunter Biden laptop story. The latter is a particularly good test for common sense and vulnerability to fake news. The notion that the laptop was a product of Russian disinformation is so absurd that anyone who believed it is essentially clueless politically. Think about it. How could Russia fake videos of Hunter Biden snorting coke with prostitutes? (I don't think AI was that advanced yet and no one claimed that the Russians used it). Yet nearly half the nation believed it. That's kind of ignorance is the real threat to democracy!
Russell, you've got it exactly correct. "this kind of ignorance is the real threat to democracy."
You know as well at I do, that the dis-education of America was the whole purpose of the last 50 years. None of this would be possible with a large majority of Americans thinking the Socialism is good not bad. Yes, this is a really bad place. I sure hope we can turn this around.

Sorry to hear Amy's kids are doing that. What does Amy say?
You're not crazy and you're not wrong.
Family are the people around you who have your back and love you unconditionally. They don't judge you and accept you even with your flaws.
Your family doesn't need to be your blood relatives. It can be friends, co-workers, or your spouse's family.
