That is very sad.

I have lost neither over politics.

My family is for the most part far right, my mom still believes that Obama is the Anti-Christ, like literally.

Yesterday after golf we got pizza, all 3 people I played with are right-wingers. They were cracking some Harris jokes that were damn funny. Tough I got some strange looks when I told them I voted for Hari Seldon

Family and friends are far more important than politics.
Are they really your friends when look down on you for not thinking like them?
 
I stopped talking to my brother and his crazy wife because of their support of Trump and Police Brutality.

It was actually kind of a relief. His wife is batshit nuts when her meds don't work and we all tiptoe around her.

I am kind of horrified that so many otherwise sensible people look at Trump and the disaster that was his first term, and say, "Yeah, we need more of that!"
What disaster?

I'm not surprised you dumped your brother because he supports Trump. Nothing screams TDS as that. You people let your emotions left-propaganda **** your heads up, badly.

I have never looked down on anyone for not thinking like me.

If I did that I would have to look down on everyone as I have never meet anyone that thinks like me.

My wife was mad at me for writing in Hari Seldon
How can I not. It impacts my life and my kids lives daily.

But it does not. They just want you to think it does.

No matter who you vote for or who you lose friends over, nothing ever changes.
 
Trump says outrageous things specifically to get media attention.

That sure feels like trolling to me.
He doesn’t need to do anything to get media attention. The media is obsessed with him on the same level you’re obsessed with me, little weasel.

Disagree 100%

I am sending my kids to private school to avoid the woke mind virus. Costs me a ton. I am sending them to school down south for college when the time is right because up here our schools have gone fully insane.

It impacts me daily.

He sure does. You can tell when he doesn't get enough media attention, he starts saying crazy shit.

And and how has you losing friends over it changed anything?

How has your voting changed anything?

It is cute you think things are different "down south"

Nope. Media can’t get enough of him. Great ratings. You’re a little weasel

My niece is down South and it’s much different. Cute indeed.

My voting hasn’t changed anything as I am in a deep blue state.

They aren’t friends if they look down on you based on your political views. Addition by subtraction
 
It is both for us. We are no longer speaking to some family members and definitely have several former friends due major political view disagreements.

How about you?
I have been 'unfriended' by a few friends and family members who are rabid leftists. I know of nobody on the right who has unfriended anybody because of political disagreements--they might unfriend somebody who is making their lives miserable re sociopolitical positions. My husband, for instance, finally unfriended a niece on Facebook when he could make no posts, however innocuous, funny, benign that she didn't attempt to make toxic with some snarky political comment.

Those on the right can be quite outspoken about how they feel about a migrant invasion, 'wokeism', deep state bad intentions and dirty tricks etc. But with a few small exceptions here and there, those on the right can be very outspoken about what they think, but otherwise allow people to live and let live in peace. There have been a number of cases for example in which restaurant owners refused to serve somebody on the right just because of who they are: Sarah Sanders, JD Vance et al. I know of no cases in which restaurant owners refused to serve somebody on the left just because of who they are.

Those on the left are the ones who are more likely to riot, threaten, accuse, terrorize, punish, destroy those who think differently. And the ones most likely to disenfranchise any who do not think like them.
 
Rubbed a few classmate friends the wrong way during open political discussions in Highschool in the 1970s but over time they softened up towards me.:)

Well that's good, I'm glad that they did. :)

I would not go that far, but it does reflect not knowing what is of true value, to dump long-term family or friends over political beliefs.

I know as there are even people on here I like on a personal level (like you for one) but I cannot stand their politics. Only a select few on here can manage to act civilized when they're debating and Slade3200 is at the top of the list for this. So those are the only people not in my party that I like.

Disowning someone because of their political stance is just stooooopit!!!!

You beat me to it.

Slade3200 is a complete and utter dishonest troll.
 
My dad likes Trump. I taught him to follow simple instructions like "it puts the lotion in the basket" and "it rubs the lotion on its skin". We're ok.
