Feel for you. My brother can't see the light either and it's weird because we never grew up in a liberal household. Mother voted for Trump but could be swayed by some calm demeanored cuckservative. Father has gone back and forth over the years but he's full blood MAGA now.
My brother gets so caught up on "how Trump treats women" and "how Trump acts" and "racist". This is someone who was in the military, served in the middle east, has had a good steady job for years. I just don't get it.
I think they also don't get that even though we have sites like thedonald.win and say things like GEOTUS that we don't really worship Trump, we worship the revival of American strength and values that Trump stands for.
Awesome post. Really surprising about your brothers stance based on his career tbh. I'm guessing hes not too invested in politics and just overhears MSM lies in passing or flipping through channels.
It is amazing than anyone thinks hes a racist, sexist, bigot still. It's almost an accusation that his supporters are complete idiots or brainwashed.
Like, we can point to examples of intelligent people belonging to every people group that he supposedly hates
I think sometimes it's a personality thing. I've never been a social butterfly and always been independent and free-thinking almost to a fault. If I look back when I was in school even though I was never disruptive or a troublemaker I was not liked by that many teachers. Don't think they weren't handing out blue pills back in the late 90s and early 00s just not as crazy as today. They try to draw you into how important for your future their whole world is and you need to listen to everything they say and I just wasn't interested. It makes them even more unhappy when they think you're one of the "smart" kids and you aren't interested in their stuff. Now as an adult most of my friends are older or younger and I haven't talked to anyone from high school in 15 years. I'm supposed to be a millenial but I don't really have any millenial friends. Most of my friends are conservative but they aren't all on the Trump train necessarily. Politics isn't a huge point though we know where each other stands but there's no animosity.
My brother on the other hand was really one that had to be well-liked by everyone. All the teachers at school loved him and he was in all their clubs where they would pass along all their enlightened thinking. He has loads of friends most of which are left over from high school and at least the majority of them are leftists. His wife's family is almost all severe TDS. He's by no means dumb but it seems like it's just a case of being surrounded by so much of it you believe it all I guess.
I think you nailed it. People who care about other people's opinions and are very social see Trump as an unacceptable person and don't want to be outcasts
They call us cultists, they say we worship Trump, they think we've been radicalized by "far right media". I always just voted straight ticket democrat a lot of times I didn't even know who or what I was voting for, the D being there was all I needed. The first Republican I ever voted for was Trump and I still voted all democrat downticket because I wasn't fully red pilled yet. I don't watch Fox News, or TV in general for that matter, I don't hang out on Breitbart or CTH or any other right leaning news sites; I have been "radicalized" pretty much entirely from dealing with leftists on Reddit. They don't seem to understand that while I support Trump, it isn't unconditional, I support him because he opposes them. If he stopped opposing them I would not support him, and I would support literally anyone that opposes them. I'm not a Republican or conservative, not really, I'm an anti-leftist, and I didn't become like this because I was brainwashed by any of their boogeymen, dealing with them directly has made me like this. I hate them and everything they stand for and I will oppose them on everything, forever. No compromises, fuck them.
