I'm on Facebook a bit more nowadays. Doing some friend list maintenance I clicked on some of the profiles of die hard Republican connections that when I last looked years ago were not die hard-MAGA. I bring up them bringing non-MAGA but still die hard Republicans because while I didn't expect to have shared reality with MAGA Republicans I did expect to have radically different opinions but a shared reality with non-MAGA Republicans. Apparently that isn't even assured any longer. Their view of the world and mine are so far apart it puts Mirror Universe Star Trek episodes to shame. It is well beyond difference of opinions. We aren't even sharing a reality with any overlapping Venn diagrams except for the names of the two POTUS candidates. There was no golden time when realities overlapped completely. If this level of reality disconnect isn't the worst in modern times it is at least bad enough to make major conflict unavoidable, especially as it gets worse at the hands of people like Murdochs, Musk, purveyors of LLM AI systems, etc. Not good people. #uspoli #rant
