IRL, your very recent bestie who pushed out your bestie-of-ten-years is the one to signal it’s time to move in. FBI has a long running pattern of deciding that someone must be a terrorist (or is a good candidate for gaslighting into terrorism) so they can conduct an elaborate sting operation, often involving replacing all the victim’s friends with FBI plants.
If you remember Kellyanne Conway’s Bowling Green Massacre, there wasn’t a massacre but some arrests, and they were of the gaslight them until they do something barely terroristy enough to get a conviction category.
I wrote a blogpiece about it in 2016, noting it was much less of a massacre thank Conway was letting on, but still quite the debacle.
Anyway, as bad as it feels being betrayed by your friend of ten years, it’s hard not to feel like a rat for having kicked that friend out for a newer, cooler friend, only to have them signal when there’s enough evidence.
