I had almost exactly the same experience, not about Russia, but Trump related. It's very disconcerting that good friends can't step back and at least consider why you might think that way.

It would be too embarrassing to admit they were wrong. Can we make up a word, phrase, concept that might make it more palatable for them? You know how they like words and catchy phrases. Not more than would fit on a bumper sticker, however.

Agreed.
I have a group of friends that I label as Liberal...
The common denominator, is that ALL of them watch/read MSM.
And they can't stop forwarding you NYT and NYer links.
"See, see..! I told you so!"
Isn't the common denominator that they are all self-reverential retards?
You're correct, it actually is.
I cannot argue with them.
Forgot, all of them are multi-vaxxed, & continue to believe.
I'm not...
And they're still wearing masks! How pathetic is that???
Funny that!
I live in small town, cottage country, Ontario.
Not a day goes by when I don't see a lone person, masked, driving a car...
You know, masks work.
Haven't a clue how...

As of 2023, or thereabouts, the NYT readership wa 98% Democrat. Fox News it was 98% Republican. I wonder if those number have changed for Fox News?
├М figure NYT readership approaches 100%.
20 odd years ago, I would buy a Sunday NYT if travelling.
It was OK then.
Fox?
I suspect viewership is 50/50 now.
More than disconcerting -it is heartbreaking when family is broken by politics.
Time for a re-write of The Emperor's New Clothes.
We will have to find ways to interrupt this kind of loss when good friends react this way. Any ideas?
