It really only would have taken a handful to plug their nose and go lesser evil to not be in this mess.

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

I enjoy the company of nonreligious, outside the box, joyful expressive people which means I usually end up friends with colorful lefty types. I myself am pretty mainstream.
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.
I’m pp and the MAGA in my life are family members. They are bitter, angry, unpleasant to be around, intolerant of religions other than their brand of evangelical Christian, make fun of any type of work that is not military/blue collar (although they don’t support unions), and although they complain about prices of produce or restaurants or slow service, they blame everything on illegal immigrants (though how exactly one can “root out” the illegal ones without making everyday life for all brown people difficult they can’t answer), and are obsessed to a ridiculous degree about transgender people despite not knowing any in real life.
It becomes hard to have a small talk conversation about anything. “Larla is in her school play” becomes some rant about critical race theory and “Larlo is taking swimming lessons” becomes a rant about trans women in girls’ sports. Discussing a national tragedy like the LA wildfires becomes a rant about Newsom and something about the weather becomes about how climate change is bunk. I am so tired of it and tried to avoid politics but it became impossible so now I just limit my time as much as I can.

No one is an American if they want the constitution to be ignored or gone.
Nobody wants your constitution gone sweetheart! We want to stop paying $50 million for condoms sent to Gaza.

There's not a lot (I rarely post and it's mostly kid related stuff) but there's the occasional post if you go back far enough. None of them are people I was close to though, so that was easy.
The only people in a close orbit that are supporters are my former in laws. I just maintain a cordial distance and don't discuss anything political with them. They've gone down a deep conspiracy hole, so there is no logic or ability to discuss things with them.

The fact that you make statements like this is quite concerning. Are all blacks criminals? All Jewish people cheap? All women whiny? All men pigs?
