Has anyone else had a moment when you discovered that a friend is a conspiracy theory nut? I was checking out a friend's facebook page and it is filled with Trump conspiracy theories about covid and masks and critical race theory.

Not a close friend so far but a woman I know and I became Facebook friends. That was a mistake, we aren't meant to know that much about other people- not their every stupid thought. One time she had a post even her kids commented saying they wouldn't compare Obama to Hitler and she shouldn't be.

I ended up unfriending her after Trump became president. I can still speak to her in real life since we talk about other things but even unsubscribing from her profile, she would still comment on my posts. I'm glad I didn't have to see what she thinks about Covid or the election results.

One of my brothers has become heavily brainwashed by Fox News. It's quite disturbing. I hope his wife will continue to help keep his feet on the ground.

A couple of friends have always believed in the alien/UFO/government coverup conspiracy. The recent admission by the Department of Defense that UAPs exist has made these friends insufferable with I-told-you-sos. They continue to see UFO/UAPs all the time. Like many believers they see what they believe not what they see.

I remind them gently that only the name has changed and the U in both still means unidentified... and that pics/video of them remain fuzzy and/or grainy to this day. I also tease them with the alternate conspiracy that these recent reports are also part of the conspiracy! :joy:
