I am glad you are able to work it out. On the other hand, I have no liberal friends.
>>I have no liberal friends
Sounds peaceful.
My two best friends are liberal, though one USED to be conservative. SOOO frustrating! More so to her husband who is STILL conservative. A close friend of the last 45 years is conservative but not computer saavy. Childhood friends (Chicago) are all liberal. My profession was SF silicon valley based. My main hobby is liberal based. I’m viewed as a kind person there followed by a whispered sharing, “but she’s a conservative.”
That’s why I ended up here and at Conservative Treehouse. I needed SOMEWHERE to find people who were like me.
