I have ended a friendship with a MAGA

[Americanme]

82. I have 2 brothers, both trump supporters.

My older brother has no computer, has no smart phone. Loves Fox News. He tells me he thinks I am wrong, but we do have good conversations, and he listens, or pretends to. We are close, regardless. My younger brother is a radical. He will get in yelling matches, with me, with our mother, with complete strangers when he overhears them disrespecting his cult leader. I went to his house with our older brother last weekend, to climb on his roof and trim tree limbs away, so roofers can work. He was sobbing to our mother that he couldn't do it. In the course of the work, we were talking about Social Security and Medicare. My brothers are both positive that the entire problem is fraud committed by poor people. I said Rick Scott was a bigger fraud problem, and instead of punishment, he got elected to public office. Little bro did not like that, yelled at me, said we cannot talk about his party, because he has very strong feelings. Well, I have strong feelings too, but his are more important, I guess. Anyway, now that he doesn't need anything, I'm sure it will be a few years before we speak again. We live less than 2 miles apart, but we only speak every few years. He is a moocher and a chronic complainer, and he is sure the problem is always someone else.
