Voteing and candidate support Breaking up Friendships ?
There was a scenario of friends, and then there was a question of who it was before and basically was a supporter, and the other wasn't because our relationship stand. I find that to be true, that you can we'll talk about that quickly in a moment. But then the next scenario was a family that within the family. This one was very interesting because in this scenario, the mother and father and the children all had different views
It's like, oh, gosh, when you look at the other one, I don't know. But even before this, I have a strong ability to be able to let a person on their own show me who they are versus who they vote for because I know the world we live in and some people vote and maybe don't really realize why they voted. We don't know or this time around, it's like, but naturality is all right

I'd like to think of myself as an open minded and accepting of people's opinions, but this will come up, and I don't have the emotional or mental fortitude right now to have a debate with one of his supporters. So I immediately thought of your swell and I wanted to comment here on this because it seems that especially this week, it's just become very heightened and that's where people are at people are to the point where they will have coffee with me

The problem with this is that a lot of people have gotten really numb to this whole thing and they know what to expect and have lost trust in these organizations. So in my opinion, the situation was very ripe for a new organization like Fox to come in and double down and provide a lot of misinformation and then further for Trump to come in and totally declare mainstream media as fake news. I personally don't think Fox News or Trump would have gotten the foothold
I believe we were discussing Trump because that's the hot topic, and he mentioned to somebody, if you don't want to listen or believe established vetted, peer reviewed sources, there's not much that I can do here, right. And that is unfortunately, where I find a lot of my relationships going these days politically, while I try to not cut people off because of their differing political views, because I really do think that that's silly

First and foremost, I've changed my metric on social networks, and my metric is, would I hang out with you in real life? Would I care what your opinions are when we've had these exchanges? And I just see that you are willfully ignorant. Would I sit down and have a beer with you and try to have a conversation knowing that you hold the viewpoints that you do the racist viewpoints, enjoying watching the world burn like, do I want to spend my time with you?

Okay, now, right there. Red flags should go up, and then we start to play the game. And I just start saying that I own properties that I don't own. When you object, I call it fake news, right? And throughout the entire game, no matter what happens, I deny when things don't go my way and I completely rigged the game so that I cannot lose. Right?

And I don't see anything there. And I'll bring up healthcare as a huge example of this. I personally think that COVID has kind of exposed our system as being very fragile and ineffective in times of high need. And I think that's an undeniable fact. I think COVID has kind of proven that. And it's not something that we're talking about. And we're fighting against that
And I think, personally, we have to be able to identify that and know that and don't let it manipulate because I think that's a majority of people where they're getting it from and just like Mr. Man himself, where it doesn't fit his narrative or his agendas is not working for him, then it's fake. It's fake. Or I got to fire you. I could try it. It doesn't fit him. It's no good
It's coming out of his mouth if you're saying because I know that people will manipulate and even if it's a good, credible source for New source, everybody has their own agenda. I noticed that. And so when I'm willing to come forth with, like, Boom, I just lay it on like a drop of mic brandy, pay attention and play it's kind of like that. It's like, come on now, really?
And I was very questionable. But you're taking up a lot of camera time, don't they talk to you in the back like your people and stuff with the questions you're going to answer. Does someone advise you to call the report are stupid? Oh, you're stupid. Like, I've never witnessed this in my own little 41 years
