    Depending on topic, they are either OK with it, that I’m over reacting (they are only putting criminals in those camps), or believe any evidence not from the sources you might expect is fake.

    And honestly, I don’t push at all, because I’m going to change zero minds and I’ve got enough cortisol in my life already. I prefer to just pretend those people aren’t in my circle when I can.

      I’m a naturally opinionated, confrontational, and accusatory person, so it’s hard to not hold my R-voter circle accountable, especially when they not only won’t condemn what’s going on, but they defend it, deflect, and try to gaslight. I keep wondering how bad things have to get for them to finally admit something’s wrong, but at the same time I’m hoping I’m the one who’s wrong and things are only going to be a little bad. I’d much rather have been wrong and laughed at later than to be right about what’s on the horizon.
