Are you putting all your friends through a political-purity test right now?

I think I may be subconsciously avoiding a few people mainly because I don't think I could bear it if one of them said anything positive about what's going on. I'm a bit of a Pollyanna and I have to believe people are better than this.

I’m not talking to Trumpers and we are not going to be friends because it’s immoral to have voted for Trump.

No- could not care less who you voted for the last12 years. It has been an impossible choice for most moderates.

This is why we are in this mess

You are friends with racist unamerican shit

They have no values

They have no morals

They are unintelligent

How exactly are they your friend when they are ok with women and minorities losing all rights? Children dying? Consumer protection gone? Etc?

Admit it you are as stupid as they are.

They support Mr Nazi taking over the US a king who hates all but white Christian men and only wants your beholden to him,

By the way we did not elect musk as king. You are friends with someone who doesn’t want you to have a right to vote. Project 2026 or medical care for you or your kids.

My dog snoozing, a nice cup of coffee and the posts like this make for a nice Sunday morning. Normalcy is coming back, leadership that wants secure boarders, more efficient government, doctors to not mutilate children and liberals melting down. Aaaaah, refreshing.

It’s coming up in therapy often—some distant relatives are MAGA. I avoid their FB posts. Two friends said “I don’t do politics” meaning they did not vote or won’t tell me Trump. They both happen to be 1%ers so huge disappointment. I have lost respect that $$ and comfort overrode democracy.

Sure. Just decent people won’t friends with you any more.

But do enjoy the “efficient” government.
By the way, Nazis were exceptionally efficient at exterminating large masses.

Even if my friends did not support President Trump, I would not turn my back on them. They are my friends.

Only hateful leftists do things like that.

There’s a whole wide world outside DC. This is why people call DC provincial.

Look, I agree with you about what’s going on. But to cut off relationships with people who simply don’t care is also a level of ignorance.

Have you ever considered the condescending snide superiority from people like you when you go back home, are on social media, or just interacting with people who are different than you (all in the name of inclusion) is collectively what has caused a huge amount of the resentment from the “burn it all down” crowd?

I love President Trump but people: please stop confusing "border" with "boarder." You start to look as dumb as Dems.

[Anonymous]

I’m not dumping them (nor are they dumping me yet) but I’m not censoring myself to keep the peace anymore. They will look me in the eye when I tell them I lost my job when that inevitably happens. It’s too easy to not understand direct effects of voting. Rarely does it happen this fast and this transparently. So every time something happens I’ll point it out. I’m done remaining quiet.

This, except in my case my “friend” is my husband, who supported Trump for the first time in 2024. Believe me, it was tough learning that. I made the choice to still love him and accept that he is really wrong about this. I guess if he never realizes what terrible damage T is doing to our country, that would be a separate terrible realization. I maintain hope, and I go on.

Of course, it’s hard to get divorced. It’s easier to pretend that the person you’re married to made the wrong choice and are not actually immoral, ignorant or selfish.

Has OP returned to tell us how to behave?

Some of my kids friends have told them that people are wrong about Trump and he is good, etc. I never thought I’d be at this place but I will no longer host those kids.
