Frustrated with ‘liberal’ friends who are so very insular and intolerant.

[Anonymous]

You know, the ones who call everyone who is not similarly coastal elite like them ‘MAGA’ or ‘flyover’ and who like to make fun of chain restaurants and people who own guns or who shop at Walmart.

I find it off putting and myopic, although admittedly I am probably insular in my own way too. I don’t like guns, I live on the east coast, I support liberal causes, but I also don’t think I’m inherently better than those other people either.

Yes. It is so obnoxious, the smug smarmy attitude. I vote dem because I’m not a g-d moron and can see that the other party wants to actively oppress women and take away our financial and medical autonomy, but wow, I wish there was some kind of third option between the slimiest and most insufferable people I’ve ever met in my life, and voting myself into second class citizenship

I fully admit to being a coastal snob, but at least know that not everyone living in the middle is MAGA. There are dems in the middle too. And Red Lobster biscuits are awesome.

Nobody is required to be friends with anybody else and most people only have the capacity to have 5 to 10 friends.

Also, we told her children shoes, your friends, wisely.

What you were saying is you want my only 5 to 10 friends To include people who tried to overthrow the government? Doesn’t go against everything we tell our kids.

Choose your friends wisely and if that means being friends with people that believe the world is flat go for it.

Wow my people here. Its especially annoying when I'll point out that maybe Dems would be more successful electorally (something I want because the GOP is horrifying and also because I share many/most Democratic policy goals) if there was less scorn from many in the party toward people who are not coastal, UMC, and highly educated, I am ALSO viewed with suspicion. Or if I say "yes I share your goal of making society less dependent on fossil fuels, but I don't think we can realistically convert most car drivers in Nebraska (where I'm from) to e-bikes," then I'm probably MAGA too.

Sometimes the groupthink and cliquishness on the left is as bad as the right, even if the underlying ideas are way better. It's the better of two bad options but yes it sure is annoying sometimes.

I love Taylor Swift and vaccines and will canvas for Harris in PA. I just don't like YOU.

Someone is drinking too much tonight.

They're usually white and maybe have a token minority friend who they describe as "my [insert race] friend..."

I hear ya. I have a group of friends who are just "too much" for me with the PC BS. I share similar beliefs and values minus the PC agenda. they corrected me for referring to Kamala by her name instead of Harris. Fine. But then they started using the term "folks" as a PC gesture, and it was just too much for me.

I hate all liberal women! So f g obnoxious and self righteous. Moved our family out of Bethesda after what seemed a lifetime to flyover country. My dh was true blue liberal, we laughed how we cancelled each others vote every year! He finally came to me one day and said he could not put up with our Bethesda life any longer. His description was it felt phony and the people blew with the wind with their allegiance. We have no family here, started over with our children. Took pay cuts but my god is our life so much more genuine and quite simply, happier. Travel back and forth to dc due to our industry and work and hate it more and more. Sadly most of the people in dc don’t get what a joke they are to the people looking in, no self reflection at all.
