She was never truly a friend, just an acquaintance.
How do we explain, then, a son who has not talked to me since the election and put out on Facebook that his parents are racist, bigoted, homophobes?
I have tried to contact him, but he won’t answer me. I am heartbroken.
Good point; she was never really a friend and ths moment in history has revealed her true character.
It’s a loss, but your are better off not associating with such unbalanced people.
That was what I was about to post. Back when the muslim occupied the White House, When I heard someone say “ I voted for obama”, we parted company then and there. I had nothing else to do with them. I did not cuss them out, I did not create a scene, I just did not a have anything to do with them.
“She was never truly a friend, just an acquaintance.”
Yup. You didn’t really know each other. When you revealed your personal values and principles, she revealed hers, and bailed. Better late than never.
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.
Spot on. Leftists practice their own version of taqiyya all the time, especially when they pretend to be open, tolerant, and your friend. They are none of the above.
