All my friends talk about is Covid cases, deaths etc. They get genuinely angry if I dare question their narrative or present them with any facts. I'm starting to push people away because I refuse to be a part of this stupid fucking game. Does anyone have any tips on how they deal with this bullshit world we are currently living in?

Let them go. They'll figure it out sooner or later.
Distance my friend. Unless, your studying to be a psychiatrist. They listen to the news with their low IQ's.
Tip 1: Get new friends. If your friends don't allow you to speak your mind, because they don't want you offending their delicate sensibilities with the truth, they're not worth being friends with in the first place.
THIS^ I've intentionally drifted away from a couple long time social groups this year. TDS was tolerable and I always justified being patient with them because it was just politics. COVID is not just about the virus, but mental health, untreated health issues and the long term effects on small children. Masks don't solve shit and the vaccine is a lie but that's their religion.
With family, they're best handled in small doses.
Find new friends
Agreed, but don't burn bridges either. Keep the door open. They may come round.
Narcissists don't change. Not because they don't want to, they simply aren't capable
Nobody likes it when I refer to it as a face diaper.
Ask them I the tobacco industry ever lied.
Apathy can work wonders. I think it's also really healthy to just tune out politics for a while and really focus on hobbies and tangible stuff in front of you. Weed can be really nice as well. Just step back a bit and remember these are all just games and constructs. They can't win if you don't let them get you down. Obviously easier said than done.
Center yourself. You're not crazy; they're brainwashed. I don't talk to my sister anymore because she's a double-masking experimental vaccine lunatic lefty. When I have to deal with her, I keep topic very superficial and nicey nice. There is no point in arguing. They are going to have to figure it out on their own. It will take time.
Oh yeah. And stop watching TV and get off of Facebook, Twitter, etc. To entertain myself I play video games, listen to 80s music, and watch movies that are over 20 years old. Feeling pretty good about things, actually.
FIRST tell them the news lies to them constantly. Then tell them Trump isn't racist, but the news constantly calls him racist. They say he didn't denounce white supremacy, yet he constantly does it. They need to start with a single lie, so they can work their way from there. don't bombard them with information
If they can't have a conversation with you without getting angry then it's obvious they don't want their world view challenged. If they continue to get mad at you for being a skeptic then they aren't really friends.
Sometimes I feel like you do, but continuing to engage will hone your mind. I have gone sober so I can stay sharp and be clear in this messed up world we find ourselves in, no matter how bad I want to drown it all away.
Yeah ...one minute into a phone call and they are talking about it. It is a bullshit world. Tips? I have none.
"Surplus covid cases" no, same deaths as 2019... Also 0 cases of influenza. Let them mull that over
Look up Yuri Bezmenov he spoke of ALL this we have seen come upon us ... he talks about those people
Do you get genuinely angry like they do when they question your narrative?
Dispense red pills frequently. Share articles counter to their cognitive resonance: ‘Trust the system’. ‘Trust the media’. Etc. keep showing the truth and asking questions about it.
Some though are averse or are real narrow minded. Not sure what you can do. Many are getting divorced, cutting out family members from wills, it’s getting fucking brutal. I hate it. It’s almost solely disinformation media’s fault too.
No friends. It’s not that difficult. You’ll survive
Can you imagine these hysterical people in the event we're ever faced with a genuine pandemic? They'll be stampeding over their fellow man faster than you can say 'herd immunity'.
I've been going skiing these past few weeks and all the people talk about on the lifts is covid. They're all brainwashed retards.
Make fun of them in subtle ways.
Ask why they arent wearing three masks and getting anal swabbed for starters.
First try to relax. You don't have to change the whole world, just YOUR world. Maybe you need better (different) friends?? Or maybe see them less often (blame Covid :) ) Remember that the best revenge is to live well. So get your finances in order, limit yourself to maybe fewer (but better quality) friends, maybe travel if you can (visit Red states). And realize that Covid will eventually pass. And another election cycle will soon come to hopefully start changing the bullshit world we're in.

Say... OMG, I forgot to show you something on the CDC website!!! C'mere, have a look! (Then show her the odds of her surviving covid is 99.98%)
Laugh
NPCs aren't worth your time. Take comfort in the fact that they'll be rounded up and placed inside gulags called quarantine containment facilites. At least we'll be armed and ready when they come for us.
