I've gotten over the "turn the other cheek" approach when it comes to dealing with Marxists I am somehow still friendly with.
I used to find self-respect in my belief that I was open-minded enough to hobnob with people who have differing political viewpoints. I'm over that now.
The political views that once divided us were usually, at least, Constitutional. Today, a huge chunk of the nation is happy to vote for a party that has:
been busted spying on the Trump campaign censored Americans who think for themselves allowed a Chinese spy balloon to fly over our military bases taken mad stacks from nations around the world
(FACT-O-RAMA! The House Oversight Committee determined that the Biden Crime Family hoovered roughly $27 million from nations including China, Russia, and Ukraine.)
illegally destroyed J6 evidence before Republicans could have a look at it allowed street animals to riot and burn their own toilet towns tried to force us to get a bogus vaccine redefined the word "vaccine" because it didn't work illegally persecuted their leading political opponent with bogus show trials
If I were a petty man I would also add there is also a ton of evidence that President Figer-diddle, Gropey Joe Biden, showered with his young daughter Ashley. Am I that petty?
(PETTY MAN-O-RAMA! Ashley Biden's diary mentions taking "probably not appropriate" showers with her dad, Joe Biden. The lefty loonies tried to pretend the diary wasn't hers, yet the FBI kicked in the doors of journalists who had seen it. Weird, right?)
Like you, I've been called a racist, bigot, and this-and-that-ophobe because I refuse to be one of those easily controlled jackpuddings who swallow and regurgitate Marxist codswallop, such as "men can give birth."

Yesterday there was an election rage incident here at Jurassic Park. My wife reports that while playing canasta, a man at her table demanded that a lady take off her Trump/Vance hat. The three ladies told him that she had every right to wear her hat. The man said how can you support a felon? They told him to f-off with his MSNBC BS so he got up and left. The incident reflects that Trump has the support of women and a 3-1 margin here in SC.
Right there with you brother, on all counts.
Like yourself, I believe that the odds of dying in a re-education camp go up if you let a leftist into your inner circle.
“Of course my liberal friends and relatives don’t see that.”
I think they do.
Nazis came from somewhere. Every single one had a mother and father, lots had brothers and sisters.
eff ‘em all.
They’d turn you in for free, bet on it.
My daughter begged me to take off my Trump hat at a public outdoor event. I refused and all I got were compliments
The video at the end of the article is a great compilation of the emptiness and vapidness of Kamala Harris.
If you really want to piss them off, try indifference. TrumpHaters understand passion regarding Trump. They just think people who like Trump are idiots, ignorant, ill-informed. When they come at me with all that Hate, I just respond with “Whatever” or “Do you have a video of that?” or “Anything is better than what we have”.
“Are you voting for Trump?”
“Don’t know but I’m not voting for that fascist woman”
POOF!
“It’s Feats of Strength time. I can’t handle any more of their lying.”
“Feats of Strength” as in the Seinfeld skit making a mockery of Christmas and Christians?
Do Christians use the MSM to make a mockery of Jewish holidays and traditions?
Would you be equally supportive of the MSM if they did?
But you are supportive of the MSM mocking Christianity and its observance and use that to defend Trump?
bkmk
“We the People don’t have time for those lazy yet haughty, apolitical “I dont care about politics, I think BOTH sides suck” losers who glissade their way through life, offering criticisms but never answers. Enjoy your cricket smoothie, milksop, you were too cool to vote when you had the chance.”
THIS!
Life is complicated. Families are not chosen. Friendships are. It used to be knock down insults between me and my lib family. Thankfully, those libs no longer associate with me. Life is good.
However, that stated, let us not let Free Republic off the hook! There are a number of Never Trump GOP voters here on Free Republic still taking their digs. The most sickening for me was NOT TWO HOURS after the second assassination attempt on Trump they were out with their complaints. What complaints you may wonder. Just that he plays too much golf, is not doing enough on the campaign trail, criticism is good because its how we teach children (yeah im still rolling my eyes over that gem), and stating that Trump talks like a moron.
Its always the same, arguing their conservative cred before blasting Trump. Basically, its your party’s Never Trump types with a serious inclination to continue shooting the GOP in the foot. And that circles back to the original subject of lib relations and their ingrained biases. The best outcome for open minded free thinkers, who knows. For myself, I’m done tolerating for the sake of tolerance. I speak my mind here and off site while letting the chips fall.
Got them in my family too. Thanksgiving will be interesting.
It is somewhat complex.
I try my best to be objective and non-emotional.
Some of my liberal friends are now saying they would rather spend time with conservatives than their loonie liberal friends.
In many ways this mirrors what Trump is doing in NYC and PA.
I almost forgot about that silliness, and saw it at several large grocery stores in my city in 2020. "One Way" aisles. Why?!
I had a masked, testosterone-challenged male-ish shopper glare at maskless me and mutter under his breath, "you're gonna kill people." It was surreal and just stupid.
I’ve gotten over the “turn the other cheek” approach when it comes to dealing with Marxists I am somehow still friendly with.

There are leftists whom conservatives rely on for concessions and considerations. Letting their socialist crap pass unchallenged in private has no associated cost, and keeps your identity hidden until a time when there is something to be gained in a public setting.
What if they are the new democrats? The ones that want you to shut up while they feel entitled to spout off anytime they like. Those are the ones populating my family.
The video has been censored by Google.
The people that told us to trust the science didn’t even know the science. The New England Journal of Medicine told us early on that you won’t catch Covid in a grocery store. It was just herd mentality and virtue signaling.
My philosophy is “People have the right to be wrong”.
