Leftists can tolerate anything, but an opposing point of view.
If someone is willing to defriend you over political differences, they aren’t real friends to begin with... period.
I lost a frreind of forty years, a leftist, who called to scream at me about a policial issue that she suspected I supported. She refused to deal with me to talk it through.
This is a person that I was in communication with throughout the forty years.
I have two friends who lean left. Neither of them has responded to me since the election.
At work the leftists are only conversing with other leftists.
Unbelievable.
My brother and wife are card carrying Libs. I tell folks “I like my brother, just not that much”.
Big Social Justice warrior etc. etc. So he posts on Facebook an article from Huff post about a tree being cut down to be used at Trumps rally in Mobile. Christmas tree. It being Christmas and all.
Don’t know if ya’ll have seen it but the Libs are having a meltdown. Over a damn Christmas tree! Trump doesn’t care about the environment!!!! Because some guy in Mobile cut a tree....So, I made a couple of remarks. Not going too well. Or very well depending on your perspective.
Another kinda funny thing. Mr Social Justice, BLM supporter, illegal immigrant lover, gun hating, Constitution shredder and Fam move, about a year ago to.....NORWAY!!! Lots of diversity there....But I hear they are importing some diversity. Just curious but I wonder what the percentage of Black citizens Norway has?
One or two unfriended me. But I unfriended others, since I got so tired of their distorted thinking.
Hate to say, but I probably had had little in common with these people to begin with. Or maybe I outgrew them. (Or both.)
However, my stepmother, a rabid liberal, has kept me on FB. She posts whatever she can that’s anti-Trump. When I gently contradict her, I get the most absurd rebuttals from her friends that I decided that it’s pointless to argue. They’re too wedded to their defenses.
Don’t take everything personally.
Politics is the ultimate blood sport.
After an NFL game where they beat the snot out of each other for 60 minutes they hug after the game and show mutual respect.
Liberals claim to be tolerant. But you have to be really tolerant in order to show them how intolerant they are.
Remember… Uncle fester may be an annoying idiot but he may have $6 million worth of some highly appreciated stock in Exxon Mobil or Apple. The $500,000 inheritance from the old coot could buy you a new Porsche Boxster.
It’s better to lose the argument and keep a friend, then to win the argument and lose a friend.
Of course, if it were me, I would tell uncle fester to go commit an anatomical impossibility and fornicate with himself.
