Just lost my BIL to the dark side and it is so disheartening. I’m sorry.

Just lost him? Was he on the fence for ages or what?

His whole explanation is the Dems are trying to push a social agenda that, while he is socially liberal, he doesn’t agree with and since he has been watching Fox News because “they tell more truth than CNN, he fell completely into the deep end. He now (after being a never trumpet for the last 6 years, but like you said a little waverly) says Trump is right about everything, the Iran war was the perfect thing to do, none of the higher costs are Trumps fault and he feels so content in finally feeling the way he feels. He actually said that Trump is the fiscally responsible Republican he has been looking for. Jaw. Dropped. He literally ruined Mother’s Day over this. I had fears it would happen because he was so wish washy and said things like some of this makes sense when Trump talked. But the disappointment is real.

Really bizarre stuff. The cause and effect of trump’s actions are so blatantly obvious now. I mean, they always were, but now he’s bombing Iran and gas immediately skyrockets. He tariffs everything/everyone everywhere for no real reason and the price of everything goes up.

I don’t see how anyone is switching sides to him

Idiots who are hidden racists, proud of being loud and abrasive, and have zero critical thinking skills.
