All good points.  Yup, tired.  Tired of being the (often mocked) tin foil hat wearing, nice but crazy conspiracy theorist and delusional friend. Still, I have dearly loved, amazingly kind and generous friends and family who are brainwashed liberals.  I will chose compassion.  It might bite me in the A$$ but I will know I behaved well and my conscious will be clear.    After all, at some point we were all asleep, believing the lies.
