I know exactly what you mean. My best friends (at the time) cousin long ago always used to talk politics with me before the whole Trump thing and I never realized until now why we always used to argue. Now I know! Looking back I realize she was always hating on capitalism saying how materialistc the world is and needs to change, I'd tell her if you want to change the world it starts with changing oneself and she'd get pissed and throw a fit! And every time I'd challenge her (she told me loves discussion...) she would never explain her logic but always say to me "read this book, and that book, and do this course and watch this video BEFORE you even discuss this topic to me" I'm like... why can't you just explain it in your words instead of pointing me to someone else? Always would bring up "well I go to this university and do speeches and stuff so I know how the world works more than you". People like that lol just ain't worth the time. Needless to say I ditched that entire group of "friends". Glad to be here also, keep fighting the good fight! You have our support here in Australia (or what's left of it haha)
