   Rough conversation with a MAGAt loving relative this weekend

   How it ended:

   Him: “I’ll march into hell for Donald Trump.”

   Me: “Have a good trip. Pack appropriately. ”

     it's not good enough that they are miserable fools

     they insist on making sure the rest of us suffer as well

     this is all #MAGA is

     sadism

     this is all they live for

     that someone else suffer is more important to them than their own happiness, probably because they don't even know what that is

     @WarnerCrocker It's astounding that someone who is so absolutely unworthy inspires such allegiance. It is a cautionary tale of what happens when one's predispositions are endlessly reinforced in a social media bubble until a shared cult identity consumes one's individuality and capacity for reason.

     @profdc9 concur. In this case though, this individual doesn’t even access social media.

     That’s really tough. I’m so sorry.

     People mock the foolishness or awfulness of people who get sucked into the Trump scam, but when it’s a loved one, it’s a painful and personal loss. Every bit like stories of people watching loved ones get sucked into pyramid schemes, pig butchering scams, other sorts of cons. The target is the last one to see it.

     Would it be worth pointing out that Trump will be nowhere near him when he dies for him?

     Ask your relative how often Trump mentions Ashli Babbitt.

     @WarnerCrocker As the years go by it’s getting more and more disturbing to come across people who claim they’ve sworn eternal loyalty DonOld J Befuddlingpants, the Sundowning Golfer.

     Harsh reality: It's is easier to con someone than to convince them they've been conned.
