My wife had a call late last night from a friend of ours. He graduated with my wife. And had been a friend of ours since High School. He was also my dentist back in Tennessee. He called after not really hearing from him much for a couple of years. We both considered him a friend. Even spending a weekend in Amsterdam with him and his wife a few years ago. His reason for calling? He saw a post on Facebook from my wife about our new website for our consulting company niteflyermedia. Even though I was an elected Tennessee Democratic Executive Committee member. Our friend did not know we were Democrats until last night. He obviously does not read my tweets. He was on a rescue mission to convince my wife and hopefully myself that we need to be MAGA and a Trump supporter. It was a fools mission. Like all MAGA's he was happy to cease being a life long friend. All because of Trump. With Trump supporters there is no logical discussion point. Only a regurgitation of Trump's many talking points. It is really sad. Before Trump I had many friends who were Republicans. I was great friends Lloyd Daugherty. We went to college together. Lloyd worked for Ronald Reagan and became head of Tennessee Conservative Union. I became a Democratic Party official. Although we had different political views. We could both still be civil and sociable. Lloyd passed away before the advent of Trump. After Trump it became impossible to even have a discussion with a MAGA. That is what our dentist friend left the conversation with. This educated man who went to medical school and became a well respected dentist. Is perfectly happy to throw away a half century's long friendship. All for Donald Trump. That's a shame. But it proves MAGA is a cult. If you are not a member of the cult you are "shunned ", ridiculed and dismissed. But like most cults. MAGA's time is coming to and end very soon. I hope the cult members seek help for their Trump addiction. after 2024 maybe we can return to normalcy. Fingers crossed. #DemVoioce1
