What the fuck even is this timeline.

My estranged uncle, who was a diehard trump supporter (I think he did it because he believed the system needed to be burned down, and he thought that somehow the dems were corrupt and that the republicans weren't)

that same uncle, Moved to Texas because its where Elon went, he idolized Elon, (I should add at this point, my uncle is a fucking CANADIAN WITH A GREEN CARD. NOT A CITIZEN) that same uncle who when he was a teenager, Identified as a NATIONALIST SOCIALIST... He idolozed Elon. and then all of a sudden one day, he told the rest of the family that would still listen to him, that he'd 180'd and isn't following Elon anymore, because Elon is "evil"

the mental gymnastics and thought process is literally giving me hyper brain aids.

and this is my own flesh and blood.

…at least his brain could catch onto some of the more recent stuff? Man it’s amazing what people need in order to see blatantly obvious shit.
