It's insanity, truly. I was stupid enough to get into an "argument" with a TDS sufferer recently and he was enraged that I would support a Putin puppet and that the Mueller Report PROVED that he was a Putin plant and I was just like.. "Um, the Mueller Report found no evidence" and he said I was delusional and living on another planet. He also said Trump was convicted of rape and a court of law with a jury also found him guilty of insurrection but his "plants" in the DOJ let him off. So basically, according to him, the DOJ is captured politically by... Trump. Also, there is no inflation. It's just a right wing talking point.

I feel so gaslit, it's really such a feeling of cognitive dissonance to deal with people who are so out of touch with reality while simultaneously so sure YOU are the crazy one I just... can't. I grew up for a short time with a borderline mother and this is the kind of psychosis and psychological abuse that she exhibited, as in "reality is what I say it is because I can't handle anything else and you will be punished for not complying!" To see this playing out on a societal level is horrifically bad.

I have a Facebook friend, a kind woman, who posts photos of Hitler and of Trump, both in rhetorical extremis, alongside one another. She thinks she's making a solid point.
