for a consumer electronics company, and one of our merchandisers was a beloved, charming, supposedly smart young man. I thought about him and decided to Google his unique name, curious what had happened to him.

Well … unfortunately I found him. His Linkedin showed his successful corporate history, his FB showed a zillion friends and that he was full-blown MAGA. He had arguments, saying he didn’t know how anyone could support the left with all our violence. Our violence.

Made me so sad how a seemingly normal person arrived at that place. I live in a very liberal area, in a bubble, so don’t interact with MAGA knowingly.

I know the facts, but.shielded from the daily reality and huge numbers of them!
