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

Anonymous
I would be genuinely surprised if any of my good friends were unintelligent enough to treat politics like a sports team allegiance.

I’ll answer from the other side of the coin. I’m a Trump supporter but would never judge or disown a friend just because they’re a Liberal. In fact I have many Liberal friends and family and we just don’t touch upon those issues. See how that works? That being said, I am very proud of this President and all of his actions to date, but I keep those thoughts and feelings to myself.

This.

I did have to drop some TERFs five years ago.

Basically, you’re asking people to go “zone of exclusion” so you can have a safe space on FB or at a dinner party while your president runs through the Nazi playbook.

Ask yourself, do you need friends who are so stupid, they believe everything that’s fed to them, like condoms send to Gaza, USAID paid for Clinton’s wedding?

I saw one Maga spreading reels screaming about Pentagon spending millions on sushi, not realising he was quoting Onion like source.

Do you need imbecile friends?

He’s not a Trump supporter, but he believes so much of the lies that are in the media. I question what I read but I also have friends that aren’t just white straight Americans so I will say my understanding of the world is more based in reality. He’s the dog in the room on fire saying “this is fine” and I’m not sure my marriage can survive it.


How long are you willing to wait for the possibility he comes to his senses? No fault divorce is on the chopping block.

Defending USAID like every penny is well spent makes you look just as dumb, FYI. We all know it’s full of waste.

Well it’s this kind of irrational thinking that causes me to hide my support for the President.

No, you are dumb. I worked for USAID and I know its mission was to push US interests abroad and its funding went to American contractors and companies.

Oh so the answer is to get rid of it completely. Yeah, of course. Are you idiots capable of nuance at all?

What’s the value of soft power?

Russia knows the power - they certainly want us to stop aiding Ukraine.

If you are so “concerned” about waste, you could trim up defense spending, which is almost 20x the budget of USAID.

It is reasonable to look at government programs to see what you would do differently. You then follow the legal and constitutional processes to make those changes. You don’t look at a bunch of checks over in the Treasury ti determine what’s good or not by title in a couple of days and then delete payments for things already appropriated and approved by Congress by people violating all cybersecurity and privacy laws and regulations. See the difference?

No, I’ve always had friends on both sides of the political spectrum and it’s never been an issue.

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.


MAGATs can't spell "borders". I see this error all over the place. Is it a Russian thing?

They both happen to be 1%ers so huge disappointment. I have lost respect that $$ and comfort overrode democracy.


lol, you’ve lost respect for people simply because they won’t report to you on their voting patterns? Looney tunes.
