Just saying these people I don't typically count as my friends. Let me diagram it.

A is friends with B. B is an immigrant. B doesn't give C the time of day. B probably also doesn't care much about A, unless they are rich. B probably also doesn't care for A.

Just bringing this, up because of in terms of friendship liberals are bringing in large swaths of people that really aren't our friends. Yes, these are our neighbors and our co-workers school mates. Well unless of course you live over in the economically segregated good school areas.

I mean if friendship is important then you have to take that into consideration.

I don't prioritize immigrants over fellow Americans but I do prioritize decency and humanity over racism and hatred and xenophobia. Christ taught us to look after refugees and outcasts and to heal the sick and feed the poor. I prioritize people who share my values over those who clearly don't (most of MAGA).

This.

Thank you.

My wife’s brother and his wife are big MAGA people and we hadn’t seen either of them and their kids since 2016. Our niece (their daughter) recently got married and has a toddler. We saw the SIL briefly just this past summer when my MIL (totally not MAGA) had been in the hospital. Other than that, we have no desire to visit them. Why subject ourselves to that?

AMEN!

Makes sense to be fair. I think its because more conservatives are into American fast food and believe that McDonalds is top-priority food..

It's cause their cult leader likes it.

I think your priorities are quite insincere, if you aren't down at the Hispanic Church on Sunday.

There's been studies over this, OP. Democrats are considerably more likely to ditch family and friends over politics than Independents and Republicans.

Why be friends that you don't agree with? I'm a person of color and an immigrant. Why should I be friends with anyone that talks bad about immigrants and different races, but turn to me and say things like "We're not talking about you. You're one of us". I have to think to myself what do they say about me when I'm not there?

Some of us care about people besides those in our own community and in our own church. It is extremely sad that you find that hard to believe.

No, that's MAGA who isn't down at the Hispanic Church on Sunday - except for the MAGA ICE members who are looking to kidnap and detain people right as they come out of church.

Ditching someone because they have different thoughts than you says more about you vs them. I’m not surprised the "tolerant left" is known to do it though

I have decided I am also going to remove people who support medicalized youth gender transition. The evidence of harm to the most vulnerable children is simply too great, and just like the horrific family separations, I can’t be friends with people who advocate for hurting children.

Seems like a weird thing to fixate on even though I agree with you that I don't think children should undergo gender transition or be medicalized with puberty blockers.

I'm pretty liberal and most of my friends and social media contacts on Facebook and other platforms are liberal, and many are LGBTQ, and I personally have some friends and family members and professional contacts who've transitioned, and *none* of them are going around touting "rah rah let's force gender changes on kids" and "oh the medical world has it perfect and boys can become girls" yadda yadda. It's not something that people in my lefty LGBTQ friendly world even talk about on any kind of regular basis.

You seem to be living in a very weird space if that's what you're supposedly seeing constantly going on in your world to the point where you're having constant family falling outs and a social media block fest over it. If anything I could believe you are blocking random people out of the millions on Twitter who might have something to say about it, but who don't even know you exist, let alone be part of your friends and family circle.

Either that or you are so obsessed with it that you are the one constantly trying to have that discussion with friends and family, only leading them to get pissed off at you or troll you or just ignore you. If you're the regular trans-obsessed DCUM poster I think you are, I'd probably want to shut you out just to not want to hear from you constantly obsessing over it even though I agree with you.

The reverse ferreting and scrambling backwards from liberals is quite a sight.

You're incoherent and unhealthily obsessed with trans people.

Tolerance doesn't mean you have to be tolerant of intolerance.



Also, even without them, it's a great big world out there, with a lot of great people to talk to, a lot of different ideas and viewpoints, a lot of things to do, a lot of things to learn, and so on - why waste time on backward, small-minded people who are set in their ways and aren't worth wasting time on?

This actually explains your allegiance to pedophiles quite nicely.
