    Yeah, this really resonates with me. I have family and friends who I would describe as good people in general but for whom the maga era has completely unhinged their rational faculties. It’s really sad to see. It also makes it such that there’s really not much to discuss with them, because so much has been impacted by the MAGA lies. Politics, religion, current events, weather (it’s cool in the fall, so global warming isn’t real), local matters, what my kids are doing in school, the list of things that the MAGA infection has affected is stunning. I guess technically the MAGA movement has just exposed some of the brain rot that was already there in my family, but I also think it has actively made them less rational. Fucking populism.
