This morning as I was out running errands I happen to tune into The Mike Gallagher Show and his topic was have you lost friends in this election, Liberal friends, etc. because of your support for Donald Trump.
Gallagher related that he had, and it was a person formally who supported Trump but now will just sit at home and not vote at all regardless of the dangers of a Hillary Presidency.
Well that hit home for me. Last night I had had enough of my Facebook account and closed it. I have a number of friends on there that regardless of the corruption being exposed will not listen to any cogent or logical reasoning on not voting for her.
I have debated, offered documentation and facts to those I have engaged and yet nothing seems to deter these people and on top of that I am called names and accused if all manner of things not true.
I have always tried to be careful and deliberate on whom I would friend on Facebook, but of course you have people you have known since grade school or college you have kept in touch with and now you find out what they think and what you think politically are 180 degrees off.
The last straw was last night with a couple of people who on the surface would seem to know better and yet they are willing to settle for a criminal and have little interest in getting to the truth. That was it for me and I promptly closed my account.
Depending on the election results I may or may not revisit Facebook on November 9th.
I am to the point that if Trump does not win I am not sure whether I will ever vote again. I am not sure there will be another Republican candidate that can or will ever win again after four to eight years on more Democrats, Will there be anything left to really salvage after all the damage that will be done????
Only God knows and I pray almost everyday for this country and it's future.
A socialist is a communist without their gun.
Extradition is the least of your worries
As a guess, 1 in 20 Americans would be able to accept the third world compromises present even in the largest cities.
The capital, for example still uses septic/leach fields for sewage disposal.
Not speaking their language fluently also targets you as a victim for both white collar and brown collar criminals.
I removed them from my circle of friends.
In 1862 my people wore Union Blue—this time I will go for the grey. If Texas leaves the Union (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas may well join her) How many would go to Texas and fight for freedom?
I don’t tend to associate with those who would elect a criminal like Clinton. Almost had a final round with my best friend of 53 years. All was forgiven when she called me after the Republican Convention and admitted I was right in my arguments for Trump. She is now “working on” her friends who are still stuck like glue to the Dem. Party.
She was an exception! I don’t bother with others. Just tell them I don’t associate with idiots.
I confess that, based on what I know about Judaism, his support for Christianity can only be described as pandering.
I called in to Medved yesterday and was able to get through easily. They were talking about the minimum wage. I wanted to bring up that those in government strongly support it because its function is to help price inflation, thereby “growing” the economy and monetizing the debt. I was on hold the entire hour and they never got to me. Fortunately, it was during my 90 minute commute so no time lost.
Instead, they allowed people to call in with utterly inane perspectives on the concept.
I honestly get the feeling he did not want to talk about that aspect.
I agree on the environmental and diversity issues, but those postings tend to have a business related slant.
What I haven’t seen is straight up political/election/partisan type content. Have you?
I’m so behind in catching up here, but after seeing your post I wanted to comment. It has effected my dating as well, it’s almost gotten to the point of being comical!
Meet a man for coffee, the topic of barry comes up and as I calmly state my inherent distrust of ALL things barry, the date is over. Saves me a ton of time, so it’s all good :)
I have friends of long standing as well as family who are quite liberal. By mutual consent, we do not discuss politics at all.
