I'm not surprised. I didn't know her dad, but from what I heard about him, I think he may have been a neo nazi. For one thing: he hated people with disabilities. And then he himself had a debilitating stroke that put him in a wheelchair, unable to speak.
Initially, this "friend" denied COVID-19 existed. She swore that it was a political stunt to bring down Trump (I had no idea she even liked Trump at that point), AND (she did say this), she claimed that doctors and nurses were in on the lie. It was ALL faked.
Then, months later (long after I deleted her from life), she wrote to someone else..."Well, COVID-19 is a real virusbut it's being blown way out of proportion for political reasons. The statistics are all fake."
I wonder what is up next for the crazed crap they'll feed the QAnon worshipersnow that Trump has the virus, and could actually die from it.

(19,264 posts)as a trap for the deep state to trick them into commit some illegal conspiracy and then Trump will rise up and arrest all of them and the Democrats and (insert group you don't like here) in one fell swoop.
QAnon is like the soap opera of conspiracy theories it just evolves and shifts to match the need for a changing narrative to keep with the times.

(36,518 posts)The things he says. The things he believes. It's embarrassing & shameful. I stopped talking to him last November when he said that women were giving birth to live babies & then executing them with the doctor's help so democrats could harvest the organs. If he had been standing in front of me & not on the phone, I would have slapped him I was so angry. He believes all that shit, the pedophilia, the deep state, all of it. He used to be completely non-political. Then he retired & started watching OANN & reading rw hate sites. It took about 18 months for the full effect to reveal itself. Exactly the same amount of time it took for my democratic mother to turn hard right after listening to Rush Limbaugh every day at work for a year and a half. It's probably just as good that she died before Obama became president. She would have been a birther & a trumper & I doubt our relationship would have survived.

If he gets off light, it will be hailed as proof it isn't so bad.
If he gets hit hard or dies, the claim will be it was a weaponized form.
Just follow the bouncing pattern.

(22,166 posts)any smarts or brain. I call them the 'walking dead'.
Until that is, they die from the CoronaVirus (CV), at which point, it's too late, for reconciliation with the 'real world', they are seriously ill or dead by then.
