Jim, Does any of this stuff make your jaw drop? My jaw stopped dropping a month into 2017, but this small statistically insignificant sample still speak for a sizable chunk of 74 million voters. This is the America that's always been, but is empowered in a way that fills me with despair.

"...So while I think Trump’s policies were supportable, his rhetoric and personal style was not..."
"...Trump knows politics is a joke...it’s a collective middle finger to the establishment...”
"...let the whole thing burn down and explode...Trump helps us get there faster and more efficiently..."
"...“Trump is refreshingly blunt, honest, and pro-American & will go down as the most charismatic and successful president..."
"one of the greatest Presidents ever...as far as economy...jobs...wall...tax cuts...regulations...making our lives financially better and more stable, President Trump was phenomenally successful. The only problem with this President...is the Democrats..."
"...He followed through on his campaign promises....he made the economy absolutely boom....I believe with every ounce of my being that President Trump won the 2020 election..."
"President Trump did more for the world in the cause of liberty, prosperity, and peace than any other president in my lifetime...He brought peace to the Middle East...I will continue to support him for the rest of my life...I am 100 percent certain that this election was stolen..."

What can we say. Allegedly the only way to make gains with people who are plugged into right wing media is through very close friends or close family members. I had a cousin on Facebook who continually posted the craziest stuff yet, way out there ultra right wing propaganda. I was shocked that politically he was beyond repair so to speak. Long story short, it's highly likely we will never speak. What's the point. In my mind he's dangerous socially and dangerous to me. FOX News was the broken dam that changed this country.

Sounds like it's time for real borders designating blue and red America. Get on the bus and don't come back.
