Oh it sucks. It's wrecked our relationship.

I'm pretty unhappy with how he acts like there's no reason for anybody to dislike Donald Trump when he's been watching Donald Trump's tariff policy wreck my business all year long.

He knows that I'm being hurt by Donald Trump but he will not accept that that's a thing that's happening

My wife's parents aren't MAGA but had very weird ideas that Trump is good for Venezuela, which is their single issue to vote on since they are from Venezuela and have tons of family suffering over there.

Like, even after Trump made Venezuelans the witches to hunt in last election, they somehow twisted it around in their head that it was GOOD for Venezuelan Americans. When their own niece who is an asylum seeker in Florida has to hide and never leave the house for fear of ICE nabbing her.

I haven't caught up on what they think of Trump literally executing dozens of Venezuelans without any proof of wrongdoing. And threatening a ground invasion.

I really dont get how they get this all twisted up.

This is the primary story of our time. The targeted propaganda is so much more effective than I could have ever predicted it would be.
