Meh, I found out who my real friends were on my first moving day.
Sorta went like this:
He said "Uh, let me go and ask my wife"
He come out of the house
I could see in his face
I knowed it was "no"
He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, an' all"
I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too"
If I didn't know the topic in this thread, I would have thought you were asking a new neighbor about being your gay lover.Meh, I found out who my real friends were on my first moving day.

This video is extremely healing.
We had three friends do that in the first Trump administration. And, by mutual agreement we had never talked about politics, ever.I have 2 friends (married couple) that I've been friends with for 15 years. Lets call them S and J.
I met them through S's sister who was a friend at the time. And we've done tons of stuff together over the years and been invited to some of their family get togethers. They claimed I was indeed, a part of their family.
They even helped me out a great deal when I had to go into the hospital a few years ago.
Thing is, they are Democrats. And until now, I didn't know how die hard Dem they are.
S called me tonight to tell me we can no longer be friends because of "whats in the White House".
I had a friend since 1999 do this to me in 2015, as she also turned out to be a die hard, brainwashed Dem.
With me being in my 60's now, and all of my family gone, as well as my other friends who've passed away in the last few years.......I only have 2 friends left now. One tries not to be political at all, and the other is a die hard Rep.
So, I'm kind of dizzy right now from our conversation.
Bascially S told me there's no way in hell she can get over me being a part of the "Nazi Party", although she could not explain to me what "Nazi" stuff she is talking about. She just states "read your history books again".
She said if I ever need help, she will be glad to help out, but we just cannot be friends anymore because she hates having to "hold it in" when around me. And I've NEVER told her to NOT "hold it in" when around me. In fact I've told her on multiple occassions to use me as a sounding board, or yell and scream if needed, she's not going to ever hurt my feelings. I understand her position and why she votes Dem, because she's explained it to me. And I've never cared, because I like them so much as people.
But she said she "can't get over it". So, I'm now down to 2 friends left. One lives in Canada and the other one has severe knee problems and can't get out much anymore.
God damn I despise this shit and getting old!!
I miss them already.

I stole a Snickers once when I was a kid and as an adult I once cheated on my taxes. Damned good thing I'm not running for president. Whew! I have some friends that I have had for 15 years. I guess they'll be telling me to hit the road now that they've read this post.
I feel for you my friend, unfortunately, this is what some on the left have resorted to (and I say on the left, because I only see leftys doing things like this).I have 2 friends (married couple) that I've been friends with for 15 years. Lets call them S and J.

So sorry. It hurts to lose friends, even family members, no matter how hateful and unreasonable they are that prompted them to distance themselves from you. Just know that it isn't your fault.I have 2 friends (married couple) that I've been friends with for 15 years. Lets call them S and J.

Yeah, but the damage is done, and it doesn't excuse her behavior in thisYa know, there's a reason we have secret ballot, right?
You do not have to proclaim who you voted for from the rooftops.
They're ruled solely and completely by emotion. If you disagree with them, it's a personal attack.
See? Ruled by emotion.
You're allowed to be a compassionate human being.
