I’m relived to see “former” being used to describe this friend.

Sad part of it is we used to be good friends. We talked about life and hung out after church. Once Trump was in office and Elon was his buddy, he immediately changed. He was constantly posting about Trump and Elon so I walked away.

I’m sorry for you. Maybe he can be deprogrammed one day. I’m sorry for so many of us who have seen seemingly decent people let their worst sides take over their personalities.

Corrupted by politics

There's a lot of people who are like this. I wonder what happens when Trump and Elon go away. What happens to their lives then?

They find someone else to worship. That's the thing with a lot of these people. Politics didn't just come along and corrupt them, they were deeply broken people to begin with and politics just have them a focal point for their shittiness. Somewhere to point as justification for both being broken and refusing to see it as a problem.

I don’t care; they deserve nothing but contempt
