I believe that your sister has the same rights as every other person in the country.

I do not believe that her "marriage" is valid.

I do believe that she should have the option of having a civil union that bestows every single benefit/ obligation/ responsiblity that a marriage does, but that hers should not be called a marriage, because, in the truest sense, it is not.

Only hateful leftists do things like that.

I'm not unfriending the others completely but I have a much shorter fuse with them and if they aren't adding value to my life, they're out. I have a huge circle. I can lose a few without caring. The old white unapologetic Maga types are dead to me now.

We knew they voted for him. We argued about stuff during COVID. But honestly we had kind of left it alone recently because we have had bigger fish to fry with other issues and things going on in our lives. They know none of us voted for him. They know we all disagree with them on pretty much everything. So it was just uncomfortable for a minute and then we moved on. But I thought about it this morning when I woke up for some reason. I think it makes me feel gross but at the end of the day they are good people and good friends and we do enjoy their company so I think, for me, I am going to continue to not discuss it and not let it affect our friendship. If they were more outspoken or obnoxious about it I would probably feel different, but last night was the first time other than an Instagram post on Inauguration Day that I was reminded that they voted for him, and I don't believe that cutting them off as friends is going to change anything about the sh!t show that is currently happening.

no 👏 they're 👏 not 👏

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

― A.R. Moxon

Nobody would care about Nazis who joined the party because of other reasons besides hating Jews if not for the holocaust.

Since there’s nothing remotely like the holocaust happening, there’s no analogy.

People who use that analogy are obsessed or mentally unwell. Our friends vote as they want, we don't dwell on politics lol

Sounds like you could read a book or two on the conditions of Germany between the wars.

Everyone saying it's hyperbolic said the same thing when I told them Trump was going to overturn Roe. Wake up.
