It's very strange. Trump has established a record since his election, and had one many of us didn't know much about unless we were living around NYC, long before!

It's very strange. Trump has established a record since his election, and had one many of us didn't know much about unless we were living around NYC, long before! By now it's clear enough, so there's some kind of willful denial, wishful thinking, or in some cases -hopefully not your good friend, I can't imagine that, seriously - they are just really really stupid and obstinately sure of their views anyway, maybe the two traits tend to go together? I wouldn't know as I have spent over sixty years doing my best to avoid stubbornly stupid (not "ignorant," not "naive," not "well-meaning but very sheltered"!) people and have succeeded very well in most cases.
It helped that I was almost always working and socializing near colleges or universities, in St. Paul at Macalester, in Des Moines around Drake U., in Tempe around Arizona State University, in Minneapolis at the U and then commuting to William Mitchell for law school, even waitresses I dated were majoring in anthropology and French or whatever, it wasn't even as if me or anyone else had to make some "special effort," that's the women who were around, also grad students, university staff, employees, etc. - but I also think ANYONE can more or less figure out ways to just stay away from those folks, and seek out people who have functioning, curious minds, right? Nowadays: online too, that counts as a start! No MAGA blogs, etc. Let birds of a feather flock together!
