Good people vote to take away human rights from you and your children? Good people vote for rapists and people who are actively trying to harm everyone except white males?
Okay...

I'm so sick of people like you. I'm the PP, and I abhor Trump but I'm not such a small-minded moron that I can't see past who some people voted for. Yes, they're good people. The fact that they voted for Trump doesn't erase everything else they've ever done in their lives. Of course I'm uncomfortable and unhappy with their politics, but that doesn't mean I want to erase years and years of good friendship.

I bet you have people you are friends with who voted for Trump but would never tell you. Your insistence that you wouldn't ever engage with a Trumper is ridiculous - I bet you do all the time and you either ignore it because the relationship benefits you or you have no idea because they don't feel like arguing with you. Do you ask your car mechanic who they voted for? Your dry cleaner? Your cleaning company? Your boss and all your co-workers? Are you going to ask all the teachers at your kids' school? Of course not. But keep on spewing your ridiculousness on an anonymous board I guess. I hate that I'm aligned with people like you. We are not the same even if we voted for the same person.

NP. That poster is quite direct, but the questions are worth asking. If you were to sit down with those friends and ask them point blank to explain to you why they felt it was OK to vote for someone who was hell bent on taking rights away from people and ignoring our constitutional framework of governing, wouldn't that feel fundamental to how someone is as a person? I get it, I have friends who are traditional Republicans, and I have some who I thought were friends who are full on Trumpers. I've been posing questions such as these to them, and they are unwilling to engage - I don't pound it over their heads, I'll ask once, if they're unwilling I drop it. And them. Because if they don't have the courage of their convictions, I simply no longer respect them. They won't even try to explain it? That means they're cowards. Why should I sweep that under the rug? That's how we got here - too many of us normalized really abnormal and harmful behavior. I do in fact have the courage of my convictions, as friends with disabilities have literally cried to me that they're being blamed for a frickin' plane crash, and Black friends who literally said they feel they are less than human to this administration. I can't voluntarily spend time with someone who is part of why that is true, and glad about it.

Laken Riley,and others like her, no longer have rights. They do not live in luxury hotels on the taxpayer dime

The hate in this thread and the name calling is vastly on your side sweetie. The evidence is right in front of us.

Y'all have all lost your minds and really need to tone it down. You sound absolutely ridiculous and none of it follows any logic.

I think having self awareness is the first step to understanding that you may have taken things a bit too far.

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.

I know some people who are Trump voters who have always been blatantly racist and hateful to the lgbt community. My in laws, who I can’t cut out of my life, know where I stand and if they say anything awful I just leave the room. What I don’t know what to do with are people like this PP who claim to believe things that are so out of touch with reality. I don’t understand how they can reconcile their views with the obvious disregard for rule of law, blatant racism, and extraordinary levels of hatefulness from this administration. My strategy is to try to politely avoid them. If someone is so blind to reality, I don’t think I have any hope of persuading them. None of my close friend voted for Trump so that makes things much easier.

I think you'd be surprised. We know better than to talk about it around you because you're such a basket case on this issue.

But, we've been friends for a long time, so we overlook your myopia.

+ 1 Exactly! We have been friends for years and I bet you think I didn't vote for Trump. I did vote for him and I am glad. I know better than to talk about my love for MAGA. I will go to my grave with know one knowing where I stand. NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!

It's amazing, I have not lost a single friend or family member because there is not a shred of evidence anywhere about what I believe or don't believe. I don't use my online accounts to soap box and I have the social graces to not discuss politics in public, and when it does come up, I am well versed in how to talk around the topic with no real commitment. It has served me well. My friendships are rock solid because their not built upon a political sandbox.

You are an extremist mentally if you can't handle 2 side to a coin. Get a grip!

So you just stroke fantasies and whisper about whiteness and religion and such to yourself at night before you fall asleep?

No. I have a life outside of a political identity. I know that must be shocking to you. Please venture outside of the DC echo chamber and take a big deep breath. It is going to be all okay.

No, we’re cutting off relatives because they’re racist and drug addicts.

Yes. I am one of those people. I am a closet MAGA supporter in DC. Lots of us I suspect.

The hate in this thread and the name calling is vastly on your side sweetie. The evidence is right in front of us. The thread is about a Democrat breaking up a relationship because they like Elon Musk...there are about 1000 other posts just like this from other Democrats. Find me a post with a Trump supporter posting about ending relationships over voting blue. I am waiting...

Y'all have all lost your minds and really need to tone it down. You sound absolutely ridiculous and none of it follows any logic.

I think having self awareness is the first step to understanding that you may have taken things a bit too far.

Also, if you don't like rapists you are going to be absolutely stunned when your favorite democratic celebrity and politicians all get named. It's all coming to light. Please do your own research, but most of the Diddy list all endorsed Kamala 🤔

Nobody wants your constitution gone sweetheart! We want to stop paying $50 million for condoms sent to Gaza.

Well, since that never happened, can you try to articulate your position with real information?

https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/01/29/evidence-us-govt-50m-condoms-gaza/

This is a big part of what makes it difficult to endure conversations with some of the people I know who say they are "elated" right now. They don't actually know what's going on, and they believe things that aren't true. It's exhausting.

It’s even better than that. The likely game of telephone that created the lie is that there is a grant for STD and AIDS prevention in Gaza Province, Mozambique. Numbers don’t entirely add up but they’re close. This is what happens when you only skim the headlines in an accounts payable system.
