What I don’t tolerate is mean people. I have found many MAGA types are aggressive and mean and like to troll people either in person or online. So by having standard of kindness and joy, usually I don’t have these people in my life by choice. Conservatives who are happy and not bitter and can refrain from making racist and sexist statements and have pleasant conversations are welcome in my life.


As a centrist liberal, I agree. It's all about are you truly a kind person and treat others well? I haven't found many MAGA that aren't spiteful and deeply insecure.

Different views and different morals are two separate things. Why is this difficult to comprehend?

You can have different views on how to spend taxes or if day light savings should be eliminated.

Telling woman what do with their bodies and restricting their access to healthcare is immoral. Supporting a man who wants to carve a path to a dictatorship in the US is immoral. Telling consenting adults that they can’t marry because they have similar genitalia is immoral.

Same here. And as upset as I was after Biden won in 2020, I didn’t wish harm to those that voted for him. These people have lost their minds.


Yes, they have. And to those of you who are so certain that none of your friends voted for Trump, I'm here to tell you that you're wrong. We're the nice ones who keep giving you a pass even though your non-stop whining now is driving us insane.


You sound resentful that your friends would hate you if they knew...


And hiding their shame under the guise of being “polite.”


You sure would like to think so, it seems! But you are wrong, I’m just polite.




Look, if you are so naive to think that Trump and Musk have your back in this mess, nothing any of us can say will change your mind. I like honest friends, not polite ones who claim to care and then support the demolition of our country. It is back-stabbing to be “polite” and listen to your friends hurting all the while secreting root for their demise.


I am not rooting for anyone’s death, you moron. And I do not “claim to care” or whatever backstabbing nonsense you have invented. I simply don’t bring it up and or say something noncommittal and change the subject if it is brought up. Didn’t you learn it’s rude to talk about politics and religion if it’s possibly going to cause hard feelings? That is what DCUM is for, so I don’t go around hurting friends’ feelings.


It's actually kind of pathetic that you think this is a more appropriate place to share your real feelings than with a true friend. That says a lot about your integrity, and I am pretty sure you know that.

The stupidity and ignorance of your statement perfectly captures why the extremists in you party assures you will not win future elections.

What a weird thing to say. You don't enjoy the company of Jewish people, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Mennonites, Quakers, et al?

To clarify. Im not thrilled with anyone that sat out. I don’t bother with trumpstans and am fairly sure who voted for whom as we talked openly about it.

This is correct.
I am conservative and 90% of my friends are liberal. Most of whom I've known for 20+ years.
That this is even a thread tells you why the dems are in this situation.


Stop using terms like “conservative”. I’m conservative too which means free trade and sensible immigration and guest worker programs and respecting international alliances that have helped keep the peace for 80 years.

That’s not the current Republican Party which is populist…not conservative.

Why are 90% of your friends liberals if dems are so loathsome?

Do you vote to be black, to be Jewish, etc? No of course not but you actually voted for this crap. Own it. Don’t hide.

Darling, you already turned your back on them when you voted to allow trump and musk to destroy our economy and country. The deed is done, you just haven’t seen the consequences yet.

So do you "nice ones" not have the courage of your convictions? Is that why you are cowards putting on a smile while you're secretly judging and refusing to own your beliefs out loud?

Oh, please, please dump us as your friends, PP. You are great at pretending you have hearts and souls, and we'd rather be temporarily hurt at your dumping us than continue socializing with someone we later discover helped engineer this illegal sh*tshow. Be sure, when you dump us, to do so openly and tell us why! Don't do a slow fade like a coward. Own your vote and your opinions as you head out the door. Bonus for you! You don't have to listen to any more "whining."
