My Alex Jones listening co-worker claimed I had TDS. He was all big on Trump as the Epstein Files were gonna be released, the economy was going to have all the factories returned to America,food would be cheaper..
I just bit my tongue and said nothing.
Now, with his wife's medical needs so severe that he's got almost nothing left at the end of each month, he says to me "How come we can't get an affordable medical system that covers everyone completely.." to which I said, "Well, we could have that and be like every other civilized nation on Earth, but that's 'socialism' after all and we can't have that.. I mean isn't that what your right wing radio says?"
He's gotten awfully silent about lots of that stuff now and I mentioned Epstein files being not released and he lost his shit over it. I told him that there was no more "deep state" it was the State now, and is right there in Washington DC and in your face. He is no longer disagreeing with that assessment.
I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they're pissed and silently fuming about it now.
My co-worker took the vinyl "1776" stickers with the tattered flag backgrounds off of his truck and lost all his Trump swag as well.
On one hand, I have a coworker who clearly angrily scraped his trump stickers off the tailgate, and on the other, I have a coworker who straight up held a nazi salute with an audible "heil" when he started talking about his favorite band, Rammstein.
Now I don't know anything about Rammstein and their political views in general, but I've known a few Germans in my time and they all held very strong (negative) views on the nazi regime.
Most coworkers have stopped talking about politics and such in general during breaks though.
Rammstein got so sick and tired of being called Nazis just because they make harsh music with German lyrics that they put out "Links 2 3 4" two decades ago to clear up that they lean socialist. And Till Lindemann himself has said repeatedly that they hate Nazis. And yet, people still associate them with it because they can't think beyond "Scary German music = Nazi".
Wild. Anyone can pull up Amerika and get a pretty good vibe for what the band stands for.
Yeah. That song even has the benefit of being in English, so you don't need to find a translation as an English non-German speaker.
