People are becoming increasingly unhinged over politics. I've even encountered growing numbers of Europeans coming unglued over the US government's presidential selection charade. Mostly because of Trump.
It's crazy.
I've seen them insisting things that simply aren't true, but which they say their "independent, non-government" media (like, apparently, the BBC) have told them are true. Such as that Trump was charged with "insurrection" and would have been convicted and imprisoned for it if not for the Republican-controlled government.
Nothing like that happened, but they firmly believe it did. They "see" it so clearly.
When I suggest they've been misled, I'm called a "far-right MAGAt". This has happened so many times recently that it's become somewhat boring. I'm not "far-right" or even conservative, but I'm not insane, either.
It's not just that these people disagree. They are so frantic and hyperbolic in their disagreement that it looks like a mental issue rather than politics. But, perhaps (as I suspect) politics is a mental issue. That would explain a lot.
Be above politics. Stand for truth. Embrace reality, no matter how many call you nasty names for it. They are the crazy ones. They are the problem. They won't face it, but reality doesn't care what they accept. Reality is what it is, and it's not on their team.
May I request your support?
