Zone1 Dumped by friends of 15 years

You're allowed to be a compassionate human being.

Yeah but he isn't. That's why Moonbat is the only remaining member on my ignore list.

Oh and OP I was listening to this song earlier as this has been me the past week as well. It really helps.

 

[Rambunctious]

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.

They were never your friends.... just tell yourself that because this proves it...

No need to be compassionate to a fake story.

Who knew voting for and supporting a piece of human trash would be socially limiting?

They never were friends. A person has lots of acquaintances, but you probably have only had one or two REAL friends in your lifetime .

You should thank them for finally revealing how petty they are

 

[daveman]

No need to be compassionate to a fake story.

What makes it fake? That you don't like how it paints liberals?

That's what happens when you're ruled by emotions.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The media has trained them to see anybody who does not march in complete lockstep with them as evil.

There is no reasoning with true believers, unfortunately.

This is often the case.

 

[Zincwarrior]

No necessarily petty. I was part of a small group that cooked stuff at the church. Post Trump they flared up talking about politics, which had not occurred before, so I bailed.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Thats the weird thing, they aren't like that.
They both volunteer to help people in need..........anybody in need.
They donate their time to causes for animals, children, and the elderly.
If you ask them for help, they will show up.

They are not mean, vindictive, or "Karens" of any type.
They don't lie, cheat, steal, or take advantage of people.

But when it comes to politics, she's rock solid concrete on her stances.

She won't listen to anything else or anybody else.
She won't accept or look for help in understanding WHY she is this way on this subject.

They claim to have other friends who aren't Democrat, but changes the subject when I ask how she handles them.
So I don't know if they just cut themselves off from everybody that they were friends with, or I am an exception for some reason.

.

Do they volunteer to help those people in North Caroline, whom FEMA refused to help because they were Trump supporters?

No?

Dear poster, I really enjoy your posts and it hurts to see you feeling so betrayed.

Do you have the option of moving? After the loss of my husband, I decided to move from Western Washington, back to a small rural town near where I was born and raised, in a very red state. In the 3+ years I've lived here, and the just over a year in the church I have joined, I have not met a single person who disagrees with me politically. I feel like I'm in the warm, welcoming arms of a new family, at the loneliest time of my life so far.

As another poster suggested, having a four footed companion takes some of the sting out of being older and being lonely.

And for future reference, when someone tells you they are a democrat, believe that they are fully capable of the betrayal that your two "friends" leveled at you.

Depend on those you know and trust here on the board, as much as it's wise to trust an online friend.

Intolerance of the lib on display.

Cons seem to have limitless tolerance of bigotry, racism & authoritarianism.

Democrats and people on the left can't compete w/that.

yeah thats it...spew some more lies

Sounds like you arent missing much, brother.
If people want to dump you over something like American politics, they were not real friends anyway.
Hope you feel better soon!

Is "stuff" a euphemism for meth?

Just though I'd check.

Well hell yea, if you mean pancakes or speghetti.

 

[hondo 50]

Sounds like you are the problem. Not them.

How is he the problem?

 

[hondo 50]

That was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Damn. That's like a double whammy.

 

[hondo 50]

Politics aside we also have one important thing in common: A sense of humour.

I don't find libs to be funny. They are dry and humorless.

It's true.
