50. Yes. I deal with them every day. Highly educated. Professionals.

One guy constantly posts "joke memes" about Biden and gas prices with the "but at least we don't have any more mean tweets" line. Thats their little dig. At least he's not a conspiracy guy though. Another one; software engineer, is totally down the rabbit hole. Thinks fraud has been proven in GA & AZ etc. Left FB because they are so "controlling" and their fact checks are fake. I think he resides on PArler now.
However, I also know of two (1 male, 1 female) who were definitely pro trump but the abortion decision has totally changed them. Even posting about it on FB; which was a REAL shock. I live in a pretty high volume "pro life cause God says so" area. And both are very religious people. But this set both of them off. I have a feeling there may have been some personal knowledge of a case or something. And if it happened with them, I think there are likely several others who will feel the same way across the country.
