Dear X,
You and I had a sweet friendship: we raised children and discussed husbands together; we traded perennials and casseroles in times of need; we visited one another in funeral homes, hospitals and churches; we met one another’s families; we babysat and cleaned and laughed and cried together. I was the reason you homeschooled; you were the reason my dad got proper health assistance when he needed it.
You unfriended me. When you unfriended me from Facebook, I cared not. But you also unfriended me from your life. That hurt deeply and it still does. Even though I never supported him until it came time to vote, you unfriended me because I spoke in Donald Trump’s defense one too many times―while you campaigned relentlessly for HRC and insisted she was the hope of the future. That was it, nothing more. We never even exchanged volleys of words or ideas, until it was time for you to tell me why I was gone.
Why am I writing this so many months after the event itself? I will not even send this to you. You will probably never see it. But I feel it necessary to put the words on paper in light of yesterday’s shooting at the baseball field.
You say you support the Democratic Party. You support their ideals and politics. You are a respected woman in the community—a woman with elite degrees that few attain, a wife of a successful man. And yet you support a party of fools. The party you support is associated with pink vagina hats; congressmen flipping the bird toward our president while leading chants of “F*** Trump!”; women demonstrating naked to make some sort of mysterious point; lies spewed constantly and regurgitated ad nauseum; a candidate who lied and cheated and stole and violated the laws of our hallowed land; a comedienne holding a faux severed, bloody head of our sitting president; and, today, a marksman searching out members of the opposite party and successfully gaining purchase. Your party instigates hatred and violence and judgment.
What does this have to do with you, you ask? You would never do any of those things, so why am I so angry and tying these malevolent acts to you? Because you, my old friend, are one and the same. It all begins personally, it all begins at home.
If you cannot even abide a difference with an old, loved friend, you are fomenting the very intolerance that your party seethes over. You are raising children to be as short-sighted and critical as you, who will not be able to think critically to discover the truth for themselves. You are insulating yourself from differences that might expand your worldview, preferring instead your insular existence built on half-truths.
That is the reason for this letter. Truth must reside within us, as must respect for our fellow man. Without those, we are lost, and lost forever. It is only when we can shake hands across the proverbial aisle with open eyes and a care for one another that supersedes differences that true change can be evinced.
May God bless us all.
A lot of Democrats are really butt hurt because Hillary was destined to win. This was her turn and the Democrats ensured that the Republicans would be stuck with an unelectable candidate. There was no way Hillary could lose this election. That’s why they blame the Russians.
That’s why they are so upset.
Over the years that’s more or less what I’ve done. Quietly walked away. I have no use for them in my life. I don’t try to argue with them because I know there’s no way they’ll change their mind. Wasted effort and all that.
Just walk away.
Yeah, a bunch of my email buddies stopped returning my emails. They were rank liberals. To this day they still love bill klinton.
People, Americans!
You are seeing results of dumbing down by:
1. Vegetarian crap. “No fat, no cholesterol” campaign.
With lack of meat and protein, brain shrinks, people get stupider. Cholesterol is needed, smart people have high cholesterol. God bless Dr. Atkins!
2. Schooling. From kindergarten to famous universities. Commies are indoctrinating and screwing heads of your children - educated stupid dummies. God bless home schooling!
3. Media. Played by stupid, financed by establishment, bombarding people with lies and fake opinions. God bless Internet.
4. Prostitutians. Prostituted politicians. Want complete control of people as tried by USSR, N.Korea, Cuba, Venezuela. You do as we tell you to (swim in their swamp). God bless Mr. Trump!!!
Another example of screwed up “inteligencia” is group of “Ukrainians for Obama”. They escaped the commie paradise, but they are longing for it here. Attacking Trump. Go figure.
Time for America and world to wake up and say enough! Time to investigate Obama “team” and those who put him in. Bring the law and order back as our forefathers did.
Enough of idiots running the asylum. We see what they can do.
How the hell can a normal person be friends with someone who wants to “transform” our country into god knows what? Who wants to take our guns, cars, air conditioners, and anything else they can think of? Who wants men in ladies rooms. Who wants to dictate what and how we eat. Who wants to take our money and give it to someone else. Who believes in global warming. Who despises oil pipelines and oil in general. And so very, very much more.
No thanks my friends...deal me out. Lose these people like the plague as soon as you can
The dogs of doom are howling more. It will get worse. They have embraced the most vile and evil creation in human history. Government. The great satan. It directly killed over 100 million humans last century. And it has now developed nukes to kill us all.
Thankfully, I’ve never had to deal with this crap. FR is about the closest I come to social media. I can count my true friends on less than one hand, and they are all of the same political mindset. I’m the last in my family, and rarely see my brother’s family as they live in another part of the state, but talk to them on the phone at least once a month. They are Conservative, so we see eye to eye. My youngest son lives in Indiana with his girlfriend, and I don’t get to see him that often, but keep in touch via email and phone. My oldest son lives about 2/12 hours away from me, and we visit each other regularly, and talk on the phone once a week. We don’t talk politics. They know how I feel, and I know how they feel, and we all respect each others’ views.
I cannot fathom becoming so personally intertwined with a person whose world view is so extremely antithetical to my own conservative position. That belief would HAVE to bleed over into noticeable aspects of everyday life in ways that would cause conflict. Such a friendship would be untenable after OR before the election.
Yes.
Hillary’s sole purpose was to take our guns away. Just look at the timeline in Venezuela. First the guns. Then they went after hoarders......yada yada yada.
Can a mindless parrot, waiting to be told how to think, be a friend?
Her sole purpose was to establish a monarchy with her on the throne.
Then Odungo ran for office, and my friend, a liberal Dem, sent out emails to all his contacts urging them to vote for Odungo. I kept deleting the offensive emails, and finally sent him an email asking to be taken off his mailing list, because I found Odungo to be abominable and why. My friend wrote me back a scathing angry email and then blocked my email. Wow. He threw away a beautiful 15 year friendship for a piece of rotting trash like Odungo.
We remained estranged during Odungo's reign of terror I and most of II. I mourned the loss of my friend, especially for such a lousy reason. Then I received a phone call.
I finally got to see my friend again---as they were lowering him into the ground in a nearby cemetery. My tears were partially for the lost time we could have had as friends, had it not been for my friend's knee-jerk liberalism and automotonic loyalty to the teacher's union choice of candidate. It seemed a poor exchange.
Everyone has the right to be wrong.
This is the very reason why I don’t do politics on Facebook. Here on FR, if I upset someone I don’t have to try and avoid them when I go to reunions.
What the heck is that all about?

It is about Balkanizing the USA in order to bring us down. These demorats are stupid, inculcated tools of the globalist elite who make their millions, billions and trillions in a pyramid scheme where they pay to join, get their own downline in the form of a job or a career and then happily fork over another percentage to keep their masters in power. At the top of middle-management, they are compromised in order to be blackmailed, to boot.
The ones lower on the totem pole are given stipends, perks and allowed to remain unscathed as long as the party allows, never realizing that the inflation they are taught to blame on Republicans is simply more taxation from themselves to the unseen controllers at the top of the unholy pyramid.
When we evicted one of these monsters from our business practice, she spit out:”You don’t know what you’re dealing with!”
Yes, we do. And it is loathsome.
They are not simply unbalanced. They have sold their souls. They must kill us or find themselves in the position of being killed. They know this. They accept this. This is who they are. If not, they are welcome to leave their cult and join us in freedom.
But they won’t.
I dropped contact with people for lesser. This week I was talking to a contractor, and mentioned that I wanted to go to Chik-fil-a. He says he hates Chik-Fil-a, even though he has never been there. Needless to say, I didn’t hire him.
Her basic deepest values became irrational and changed for the worse. A person with rational values cannot stay friends with someone with evil irrational values. To try to do so is irrational.
Families and best friends were forever torn apart by the Civil War, too, when brothers and sisters and cousins and friends went their separate ways. We haven’t seen anything like it since. At least not on that scale. But it’s happening again. Bad sign. Very bad sign.
I was in outside sales for years. Never talked politics with customers unless they started it and their opinion was the same as mine. Lol
Would’ve cost me money and I was smart enough to know it.
