Some time ago, right at the emergence of the Steele (no relation) dossier, a former friend argued that Trump was a Nazi. So, I asked how that could be since (save anti-semitism and racism now mostly ascribed to the far right, but also rigerously exercised by the left), Nazis were and are leftists, all in on big, tax and spend government and its indoctrination programs. I gave a few examples to show that Nazi ideology is far from true right wing ideology, which caused so much cognitive dissonance within my friend that he cancelled our friendship. I have to admit that this wasn't the only thing over which our friendship ended. The friend also freverently hoped that everything in the Steele dossier was true, and when I told him I believed the allegations in it were preposterous and the dossier appeard to be fabricated to discredit Trump, TDS overtook my friend's mind and ended his ability to think clearly and carry on cogent political discourse. C'est le vie.
You don't want these people as your "friends" no matter how much it hurts because they will always stab you in the back. Let them consume each other, not someone of sound mind and body.
