"Live with a man 40 years. Share his house, his meals. Speak on every subject. Then tie him up, and tell him you're a Trump supporter. And on that day, you will finally meet the man."
[[If a friend can’t respect your opinion, they’re not really a friend.]]
IF they can’t “Agree to disagree Agreeably” then they aren’t friends-
Donald Trump is not my Rabbi or Pastor. He’s my President. And like men of God love their Creator and their flock, my President loves his country.
The “fundamental transformation” offered by today’s democratic socialists demonstrates the utter disdain they have toward America, our culture, capitalism, and our founding.
If your friends or family don’t see what is at stake - f’em.
I tried the “gentle” approach with my sister in law. It did not work. Someone had posted something about the rioting that was going on in Berkeley at the time, when antifa was finding it’s sea legs. A very civil conversation among several ensued. She had written something along the lines of rioting happening after Obama was elected. All I wrote back was asking very politely where the proof was of it, as I must have missed it. I asked her for news articles, videos etc. She did not respond but I found out weeks later that she unfriended me because I was “too political.” It really made no material impact on my life at all and in fact laughed about it with my wife.
We now have not spoken to her for a year and a half because we were at dinner one night and my son was relating the story of his Boy Scout survival camp out wherein a rattlesnake had invaded their camp and the boys killed it. She made this snide comment, “So much for leaving only your footprint behind.” I then said to her, it was a rattlesnake, what were they supposed to do? Let it hang out with them? Several days later she called my wife to complain that I had “attacked” her. Now, I didn’t raise my voice, I didn’t yell, but I was clearly irritated. My wife responded to her, don’t be ridiculous, nobody got attacked. I heard the whole exchange. My wife told her to grow up. Since then she will not talk to us.
Total. Snowflake.
Some of these people simply do not know how to process someone disagreeing with them on even the most basic level.
I told my wife she is going to have a tough road ahead of her in life.
Losing the friend is good when the lost friend must be killed in the coming civil war.
I live in CA. if I had dumped ALL of my friends that were Obama supporters I would be a very lonely person right now, HOWEVER my support of Trump has been totally unacceptable to these same people I have lost a lot of friends!!! They actually are not friends I have found they are more acquaintances their hatred for Trump is not natural, I despised Obama BUT I knew he would be gone soon enough and didn’t let him ruin my life!!! I have found that MANY people today can’t think for themselves even in decision making at work they have to ask what someone what they should do next!!! I have NEVER asked anyone what I needed to do next I just find something to do and do it!!!
I don’t post politics or religion on facebook.
I don’t bring up politics or religion with friends.
However, when, and they do, they trash Trump I stand up for my support for Trump - much to their chagrin and amazement because I’m sure they are either agreed with or met with silence from others.
BTW, it only got worse after Obama... the Democrat party nominated Hillary. Hillary is and was the worst candidate ever and for so many very logical reasons. Yet, the Democrat party chose her because “she was owed the nomination.” My friend was completely blind to her shortcomings, too. You might say that he was blinded.
Exactly. I hear ya. Stay strong, my FRiend. If they left you, it was for the better. And, BTW, I live in CT, which is basically CA of the east.
I guess he really wasn’t that good of a friend. True friends can disagree about some things but still agree on others. Time passes and situations change.
My brother and I have lost a third brother. Really kinda sad.
Sounds like the people with a "Hate Has No Place Here" sign on their lawn that are very quick to act hateful toward someone that disagrees with them.
There’s a lot of power in true friendship. Unfortunately, life takes us in different directions.
Marxism is one the foundational worldviews of leftardism. Marxism is based on a belief in the power of the dialectic to create and control reality.The dialectic by its nature requires a clash or struggle between a thesis and an antithesis. Leftards consider this clash to be normal and welcome it. This is the cause of constant and continuous divisiveness, not Trump.
"Live with a man 40 years. Share his house, his meals. Speak on every subject. Then tie him up, and tell him you're a Trump supporter. And on that day, you will finally meet the man."
A little Firefly philosophy, hmmm!
Stock up on ammo. Winter is coming.
Often times older people remember the party as it was, and have no clue what the party really is now because they just do not pay attention, and haven't for many years.
Biden...... he gets their support
A Rat can never be your friend. In the end, they are still just a rodent. A mooselimb can never be your friend. As long as they are mooselimb, they are one fatwa from removing your head.
