Then accused me of "probably having a communist Chinese flag in my house". Then started sending me links backing up his point, almost exclusively from Breitbart News. I couldn't believe it!

This is a friend I've known for almost 25 years, and neither of us have ever given a crap about politics in all that time. I don't think I've ever even had a political conversation before with him until this past year, he's just a fun party guy who's kind of a knucklehead and loves to get in one. Just unbelievable how worked up and mobilized people are getting lately, even people you'd never expect. Its scary AF.

It all started purely because he got a kick out of Trump, he just thought he was really funny at first. And it somehow turned into him buying in to all the crap. I guess thats how it starts... Still can't believe thst conversation I just had, things are so crazy these days.

Friend or acquaintance?

That's an important distinction.
