[quote=Anonymous]This whole “you should stay friends so you can convince them” is kind of silly.

First of all, if living thru *this* isn’t enough then nothing I can say will get thru to them. Farmers have been screwed by Trump as much as anyone and 90% of them when interviewed say “I trust he’s got a plan— if we just give him time this will all work out for the better”.  I mean if there is one thing Trump has never had, it’s a plan.  My friend like this knows where to find me if she wakes up and wants to talk.

Second, it’s not my responsibility to subject myself to this nonsense on the off chance that today will be the day that reality starts to seep in. If it’s not personally painful to you to have these conversations then by all means have them but I think the premise of this whole discussion is that for some us these exchanges are hurtful and saying “get over it — you care about these things too much” might work for you but it doesn’t for me.

Despite what these right wingers want you to think,  empathy is a virtue not a sin and if you don’t have any that’s your problem not mine. [/quote]
