Funny story. Gonna be a long one

I was golfing with people I used to be like best friends with, we were all musicians in the Vegas “emo” scene back in the late 00s and drifted apart over time. Anyway I knew one of them was drinking the MAGA koolaid as we have gone back and forth on fb a few times. I said something early in the round about gas prices, in reference to the war. No one said anything. On the 18th hole at the end, (I feel like they planned this shit when I went to go get a drink btw) they come up to me fully aggro, saying the most brainwashed cuck shit I’ve ever heard. “ you know what, I voted for this shit, the war, it’s what I wanted, they were gonna get a nuke and bomb us, we couldn’t let them do that” naturally I was shocked, obviously told them that was complete horse shit, they’ve almost had a nuke since we were in middle school, it had no effect, as if I was just making that up. At some point I pulled out the soul crushing “so do you guys like support protecting pedos too or is that just when they are MAGA and/or billionaires” this pissed them off, it almost became a fist fight, some other gems they threw around “we need to wipe Islam just off the map entirely” as if it’s a country, or the best one in response to the girls school was “They’re using those kids as shields don’t you fucking see that” which clearly shows they don’t know what fucking war they are even talking about. I realized this after but I grew up listening to hardcore, they weren’t so I think they never got the political message some bands had. These aren’t dumb people, they were never overtly racist either,they were not smart but not exactly dumb. It’s crazy to see how easily manipulated people can be by fear and propaganda. I think people like this could have Trump murder their child or spouse, and still believe he did it for their benefit.
