    There’s good in this world, Noxy, and its worth fightin’ for.

    On a serious note, when you grow up around Republicans. When they surround you every day. Well, people are a product of their environment a lot more than they realize. His environment happens to feed him Trump’s lies without any of the bad stuff. He didn’t like Project 2025 but denies anyone would go that far. And he doesn’t just sit there spewing hate, he actually tells everyone to go vote no matter who they are voting for, he even reminds me to vote when the time gets close and he knows I’m a Democrat.

    These are people, no matter how twisted they have become. We will never heal by shutting them out. We have to do something, and telling him its okay to be himself is better than doing nothing. I hate it, too. I just want my friend to be happy. But he won’t be as long as he continues living where he is, and hanging out with bigots who tell him Trump is right and being gay is a sin.
