"Debate" with a Facebook friend about a Harris documentary from Tucker Carlson

Last night, a Facebook friend privately sent me a link to "Harmeet Dhillon: The Shocking Origin Story of Kamala Harris and All the Crimes She’s Committed" on YouTube. (I won't link to it here.)

He said "This is a really good look at the facts about how Kamala has risen." When I clicked on it, I saw it's on Tucker Carlson's YouTube channel, so I knew what to expect. I politely said "I'll pass, thanks."

What followed was an hour-long back-and-forth about lies about VP Harris eight ways to Sunday. I asked questions to find out where he was coming from, and it was clear that he was part of the MAGA Cult. I've made a point not to engage continuously with people like this, especially in a message like this. I thought about having a conversation with him in person one day, but my personal health is more important to me. It's stunning how many people are caught up in this trap.

He was fine until Dump came along. Then he began interjecting talking points into our phone conversations - so often that my (Dem) sister and I have both hung up on him.

Needless to say, my brother and I no longer speak on the phone. So he started sending right wing email - I had to block him. I had to block my own brother's email because of all this trash.

What's with these people? They seemed ok till Dump took a dump inside their heads. I just don't get it.
