It was a lot easier to assume my friends, relatives, and neighbors were decent people until TSF showed up ...

And the most sanctimonious are some of the worst offenders.

The two little boys are monsters that may kill each other.
Parents don't see it, but they are nice enough.

My older brother has a home schooled family.
A wonderful but brain washed religious bunch.

Is there a connection between the home schooling
and the MAGA indoctrination?

... is evangelical Christian, home schoolers, anti-vax, anti-medicine. Also into crypto, and not working for most of his life (BIL).

Can't check any more boxes than that. Nice people? Yes. But what's in those heads??

Christian fundies overwhelmingly support Trump - and a large proportion of homeschoolers are Christian fundies.

The more radical ones are taught to fight fight fight.

Some went to the town picnic to poison the residence
during an election.
The plan was to swoop in and vote to take over while everyone got sick'
Instead they were discovered with Salmonella spray bottles and arrested.

Odd that story just occurred to me.

At the time had a neighbor in Tulsa that would blast Limbaugh over the stereo on 10 every weekend. You literally couldn't go into the backyard.

Especially now in 2024, people not just voted for Fuckface knowing everything he stands for and the absolute fucking hell he's going to unleash on the United States, they did so with malicious intent. It was pure spite, malice and hatred that got Fuckface reelected. And this country will descend into a nightmare dark age that will probably be unrepairable. I will never look at Fuckface voters in the same way ever again knowing they deliberately voted for the shit storm that's coming. Fuck.
