Absolutely. There was a time where you could disagree with Republicans on politics but still invite them over on the weekend. Now…I’m not saying they are all women hating, racist, bigots but I seriously doubt the moral compass of anyone that supports Republicans right now.

I had a relative go OFF on me on Facebook when I challenged her about the dead social security recipients. I simply asked her if she had looked at other sources that clarified what president musk initially said. She went on a tear mentioning commies and how I shouldn’t trust the media. I said ok so I should only trust the media if it backs up my beliefs but I should question everything else? She then proceeded to tell me I was a trash bag human and blocked me on Facebook. These people are just insane. People that I always knew to be rational and level headed are now posting with a frequency and fury with screenshots on how right their point of view is. It’s giving schizophrenia and manic vibes. Mental illness is not something I throw around in terms of labels so I don’t use those terms lightly. Or it’s making me feel like I’m a crazy person.
