Have you lost friends over politics?

I know plenty of immigrants that are “MAGAs”. They are legal and some jumped through hoops to get to citizenship. That’s the difference.

They’ll never see the connection to what they voted for and the crap life they have.

Let's assume this to be true, which it won't be, but its a good thought experiment. The entire premise of your post is that government bloat and waste is a good thing because it props up home values. That's backwards.

Don't like the way this is being handled? Stop losing elections. Or, work the court system and all the other things that are still functioning despite the elaborate conspiracy theories about the Orange Man's actions being a hostile takeover. "Not getting my way immediately" is not the same thing as a state takeover, regardless of what some dork writes in an elaborate editorial screed.

Well that’s why the Dems lost the election.

There’s a study showing Trumpsters have more unfavorable views of Dems than the reverse…which you can google. I’m not going to do so because you probably won’t believe it anyway.

A. I would believe they hate us or they wouldn’t organize 100% of policy around that principle although
B. If that’s true why are they whining about being cut off from relationships

We were too. But these new guys didn't learn history (maybe stem was the emphasis in their life.) They think no one will come for them. End of birthright citizenship. Next step is that naturalized citizenship is second class citizenship.

You’d probably change your mind if you went on a road trip and your car broke down.

That's a stranger, not a friend or family

Lost friends? No. Happily got rid of them? Yes. Stopped speaking to anyone who voted for Trump. They are not welcome in our home.

No, the entire premise of my post is not that government bloat is a waste. You seem to take whatever Elon Musk is saying is bloat to be true. I don't. People who do good work are being let go from their jobs. That's a fact. But it's interesting to me that you seem to think that flooding the market with unemployment is good for the economy? Wow, never heard that before. And I wouldn't call the court system fully functioning. Just give Elon a little more time, it's only been three weeks. He'll get there.

You are being very small-minded and self-centered. You did her a favor.

You can go to hell too, along with the men you let into women's spaces.
