How do you deal with a friend losing her moral compass?

A good friend of 5 years, who I met on EP used to be a thoughtful compassionate Conservative.

I liked her tons then and she made me more critical and rigorous about my own ideas.

Now she blames the sheep who stormed the capitol for 1/6, not Trump and the other shepherds who led them there.

Worse she has lost all interest in facts or fairness and relies on "common sense" or asserting without evidence.


I am not sure if she's lost her mind or lost her soul.

Either way It's just sad

I don't get in to politics with friends or family. In our house we voted for two different people, we have never fought over it. I personally am glad Trump is out, but not that thrilled with Biden either. The two system party is corrupt on so many levels and is failing. We are living in historical times and the veil is being lifted. Things need to be more transparent, but that's a fight in itself. It's hard to know who to trust in politics.😔

1/6 LOL. You people want so bad for it to be your 9/11. Wait until you find out who was really behind it.

@REInvNJ Treason is defined in the Constitution. You people use it very loosely. It only takes about 20 minutes to read the Constitution. I know you've never read it.
Also, find the names of the "unindicted co-conspirators." Find out who they work for. They don't tell you that stuff on CNN.

@DCarey actually treason is not defined in the Constitution although it is specified how it is to be proven.

I saw that too, in the news... But I say its the fault of everyone who wasn't REVOLTED by even the thought of doing that. Who WERE they trying to impress anyway?

Who was HE tring to influence?

It was definitely NOT another 1776

and then the pigs treat JULIAN ASSANGE like a "traitor" and lock him up like a murderer

WTF

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout If it does show that then I will be the first to admit my mind is the lost one.

Somehow I am not worried.

@REInvNJ you should get more info then what CNN provides.. there’s been senate hearings about this..

trump voters still in custody.. ‘un-indicted co conspirators are free.
There’s more then just 1-2 senators making that link..

The Feds are as dirty as the day is long..
4000 hrs of footage from the capital suppressed.. why? Cause it shows faces of government workers doing dumb shit..

Peace out

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Don't actually watch CNN. Read all sides. The total lack of credible evidence to support the Trump/ Giuliani/Powell/wood narrative goes a long way to shape my thinking.

So too just the large number of credible Republicans refuting the Trump narrative from pence to the Georgia Secretary of State.

And when you guys do try to prove it you come with jokes like the Arizona Senate audit.

You really got nothing.

@SW-User agreed you can't dictate other people's lives.

But this doesn't make it any less sad

That’s a tough one. I don’t have any friends who are Trump supporters, thankfully, but I do have a couple of Republican friends who are a bit more centrist and voted for Biden this time around.
She at least sees the Capitol rioters as wrong ? That’s something. Some posters here saw them as “patriots”, many who criticized the riots during civil rights protests last year, which was a tad hypocritical.

@bijouxbroussard it's actually funny but I feel for the people who storm the capital. They are misguided in many cases not very informed but if I believe that the democracy was being stolen I would like to think I would storm the capital too.

Many of them are in a twisted sends Patriots misguided self-important Patriots perhaps but not the evil beings that the cynical liars are,
