iv got a brother that's pretty far left. he belongs to the LDHDTV community or whatever the fuck it is at the current moment and therefor must tow the line out of fear of being canceled. he knows better than to open his mouth at home because he'll get respectful debate and he can't handle that. once he's spouted off his line or two of propaganda he's out of ammo. then proceeds to get bombed with facts and/or logic. so the last couple years he's just been quietly passive aggressive and pissy. if you sit back and watch when he gets together with more of his kind, they are all miserable and paranoid, even of each other. id feel sorry for them, but they brought it on themselves.
on the COVID front he quickly got the first shot. then got 3 or 4 of the boosters. has tested positive for it twice and been sick once.
