RE: Rachel Maddow Slams Peace Talks With North Korea

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)

I asked my mom the same thing, but she said there wasn't anything specific. It really started last year when they were all staying at my house and KEPT watching MSNBC every night.... as a good host, I allowed them to watch what they wanted, and at first, kept my eye-rolling and laughing to myself.

I don't even remember what "bombshell" she had dropped while we were watching, about which I couldn't keep it in and started shouting 'bullshit' at the screen. Obviously, their hatred for Trump made them defend whatever it was without question and thus my feelings about the whole RussiaGate HOAX and their belief in it was made clear.

After they went home, she tried to argue with me a few times on facebook, but you know how those people who want to blame Russia for everything are, the use of facts and confidence to refute any of the ridiculousness of Russiagate, to them, is proof that someone is "unwittingly" carrying water for Putin.

This is the first family member, but since August of 2016, I think there have been at least 27 facebook people who had been IRL friends with me for years who first unfriended me for 'not supporting Clinton' enough, then blocked me for not hating Trump enough, and then told our mutual IRL friends they never wanted to have anything to do with me again because I'd become an "alt-right, Putin/Trump loving asshole". Of course I'm not any of those things, but to the people who cannot deal with the reality of Clinton losing to Trump because of her awfulness and blame Trump for everything bad in the world, all they have is to call people names and refuse to acknowledge their points.

Ouch. Thanks for sharing. This seems like a recurring story among many in US.
