I'm getting to the point where I need to start ending relationships with people.
If you're a trump voter after all of this, after january 6th, after all of his treasonous actions, and after this clear step towards hitler, we can't even hold a decent conversation in public, and we certainly can not be friends.
I remember seeing a study that found that conservatives are more likely to have liberal friends, whereas liberals are unlikely to have conservative friends. All the conservatives were circlejerking about “the tolerant left lul”.
But they missed the point; It’s easy for conservatives to tolerate their liberal friends’ views, because they aren’t direct attacks on the conservative as a person. But liberals can’t tolerate conservatives, because they’ll eventually get too comfortable and drop an N-word with a hard R within earshot to see how you react, or casually tell you that you’re “one of the good ones” like it’s some sort of compliment. Liberals just want people to be themselves, but conservatives want to systematically destroy anyone who isn’t like themselves. And that means friendships between conservatives and liberals are not a two-way street, because one wants to fundamentally alter or destroy the others’ entire life.
My family is that way its why I have cut them off.
Who are these liberals that conservatives claim to be friends with?
Other conservatives that are socially liberal. They legitimately think everyone left of Bush II was a secret leftist.
Maybe policy-wise but let's not go overboard here. You get A LOT of NIMBYs in liberal affluent neighborhoods when you start talking about low income housing. Or they love brown and black ppl but suddenly start complaining about property values when they start moving into the neighborhood and call the cops because they don't look like they live here.
duh. i cut ties years ago. never looked back. life is better.
Absolutely right. It's goddam tragic a guy like this is getting any Traction. The hell is wrong with us...
I had to "break up" with my best friend over this stuff. His could not let go of his "but both sides" crap. It sucks, but it had to be done. Maybe we'll get back together as friends one day, hopefully
They just read different propaganda than you do, and the real truth is somewhere between Trump's propaganda and what you are reading.
LMFAO, "bUt BoTh SiDeS aRe BaD"
Lame as fuck take dude.
Better than being a bootlicker for one of the parties. If people could acknowledge fault with their side, maybe we could have honest dialogue and discussion instead of drones shouting unintelligible noise back and forth at each other according to the script from their party.
