I've been tempted to ask one if she's happy now that the felon commuted the sentences of the violent Jan. 6th assholes who were violent. These women claim to be good Christians. I'm tempted to ask if they think their Jesus would have voted for their orange Jesus. Damn! "Idiocracy is here". These people don't deserve to be abused. They were just idiots who were manipulated by a convicted felon who couldn't give a shit about them.
I would very nicely ask them if they support police and other first responders. I would definitely ask them "what would Jesus do?" Unfortunately, if they get all their disinformation from Fox and Newsmax, they'd probably respond with something like "well I don't like Trump, but Biden/Harris are so much worse." They've been led to believe that the biggest corruption scandal in the history of Washington DC was Hunter Biden's laptop. That the biggest threat to America is the massive stampedes of trans people going into school bathrooms to molest children and of immigrants coming to both take jobs away from Americans and also lazily sit around collecting welfare.
As I alluded to above about my FB exchange with my (otherwise nice) friend, the indoctrination is staggeringly effective. When the price of prescription drugs skyrockets thanks to Trump removing the pricing restrictions put in place by Biden, these folks will probably blame Biden. The painfully obvious Nazi salute from the grandson of Nazis has already been hand-waved away, and even older Americans who remember WWII are missing all the obvious cues. A populist leader telling them that there needs to be a return to "greatness." That the people holding back that return are the minorities and the "other." The rallies where everyone wears the same clothes (red hats instead of brown shirts) and chants slogans praising the leader. The leader saying he'll annex territories that "rightly belong" to the nation. The leader promising to round up people and put them into camps.
Propaganda works. It always has. Unfortunately the lady you exercise with and your neighbor don't see it, like the lonely older men (and women) who fall for the romance/pig-butchering scams and lose all their money. I'm sure they're nice people, too.
