My husband is a casualty of Trump and Fox news so I try to avoid all subjects relating to politics. If he keeps begs me to tell him why I dislike Trump so much, I try to use something obvious like Jan 6. I am always shocked to see the brainwashed response he gives and I inevitably come away feeling frustrated and angry. It seems like these days it is not just identity, but even the facts that have been altered to fit the identity.
However, these days we have found some peace. He finally sees that my thinking cannot be changed and no longer asks me to talk about it. I am very happy to oblige.
It is the message of a dictator. He does whatever the hell he wants, but no one else is permitted to do so.
