Red Team? You make them sound almost human.

To me the Red Team is a group of cannibals intending to devour the Blue Team to eliminate democracy. 4 letter word that.

If telling the truth as I see it is makes me a wacko, so be it. A wacko to me is someone who is so deranged that one cannot have a rational discussion with them.

Trumpers have given Trump over $200 Million in his efforts to "stop the steal". What am I supposed to tell them to play nice?

It boils down to what they want to do with that control. Currently the GOP platform is based on what Donald tRump wants. They don't care to represent the will of the people.

Mind you normally we avoid talking politics, but after the election I did ask him how can you believe Trump won when he lost every court case and every state certified the election results with no claim of fraud whatsoever. For that matter, even Trump's AG Barr claimed that this was one of the cleanest election.

He said with a straight face, "that's because they did not dig deep enough. Don't you want to know if our elections are free and fair?". A Republican calling for fair and free elections? .
So you see, regardless of proof they will always believe what they have been told to believe.

Every Trumper I know (and I know quite a few) listens to Faux, only Faux 24/7 and "you are full of shit" and move on is my only option. Otherwise they will bury you with whataboutism and they do not even understand what they are saying. For that matter I can predict what their response will be usually involving Pelosi, Biden, Harris, Biden, Hunter, Hillary, Obama, Newsom while all I inquired was about Trump. Like another question I have asked, "Trump was proven he cannot govern nor is he interested in governing, why do you want him for four more years".
Telling people like that that they are full of shit is true (metaphorically). Now is it necessary? Is it kind? One's statements should not get into the world unless they pass all three gates.

Still need a like button.

Justification for being part of the problem.

True but how is my kindness justified? I am not belligerent, do not get into screaming, shouting and name calling etc. but can and do use sarcasm effectively. Like with any Trumper, "lets talk about someone with a three digit IQ and watch their face turn red".

Another time a highly placed professional telling me that "Trump was the best damn president this country ever had", and my response was "what did he do while in office other than tweet all day". Another line I use is name one cabinet member who was qualified,. I am simply tired of a discourse with Trumpers, they only repeat what they hear on Faux, specifically Hannity and Carlson.
