I play two online games, neither of them a facebook game. one is based on france and one... i'm not sure since it seems to be based all over the place, including but not limited to russia, ukraine, israel and the united states. they're good games and in the french one, which i've been playing for seven years and four days, i have made some friends. not all of them are folks i would have any chance of meeting outside of the game, nor to whom i would necessarily be drawn (or who would be drawn to me) if we met, say, in a supermarket, but we have become friends, not just acquaintances, but friends who share personal experiences and care for one another, nonetheless.

thus i have a friend who is an evangelical christian and a trump supporter.

she is a kind person, concerned about me personally, not by any means stupid, but this morning i found memes, posted by her, from the "walk away" campaign on my facebook page. this is a campaign to convince democrats that lots of democrats are walking away from liberality in disgust and becoming trump supporters. it's not true, but what do we expect from a campaign created by trumpkins? my friend isn't lying. she believes this is true and she is sharing it in good faith. she's wrong, of course. it's bogus. i don't think i could even BEGIN to convince her of that, and she probably wouldn't want to discuss it anyway.

she's never tried to convert me to christianity (i wasn't christian to start with) and we don't talk politics. we talk about our lives, our health, the game we play, other stuff, not politics, not religion. she doesn't post much on facebook but wow, this one thing... it's pretty bad. i had to hide it on my page.

it just makes me so sad.
