It calls into question the empathy and morality of MAGA. Ultimately their lack thereof is a matter of life or death for us, our neighbors, and our nation. There were people who once shared the same ideology as MAGA, who talked like them and hated like them, and previous generations of Americans had to put those fools into early graves during World War II. Pushing MAGA cultists out of our lives now, while they are still alive, is the first step in taking back our personal sanity and country. That's the bare minimum we all need to do, but I expect things will go much farther down the rabbit hole over the summer.

Yep, it's like cleaning out the garage. Cathartic and the lack of stress inducing clutter will prove relaxing.

The Facebook and X battlefield has been lost to disinformation and the malignantly cruel and stupid among us.

Yeah, I'm with you. I haven't seen the point in being friends with conservatives whatsoever since the early 2000s.

Been there. Similar situation. It's hard, but you have to put your mental health first.

For the last ten years my New Year's resolution has been to keep fidiots and jerkholes out of my life.

The only friend I had who I now think has probably completely been swallowed by MAGA
