It is the same way here. I don't understand how they can view politics the way they do so we avoid talking about it.
What is ironic is my wife and I lost friends and had a huge blowout with a family member because we liked Trump and preferred him over Hillary. These people would not listen to reason so they stormed away. Oh well. When I think about those people they were never happy people to begin with and the anti Trump hatred boiled their blood and showed who they really were. Today I think they are too embarrassed by their actions to admit it.
I am certainly friends with Liberals but there are many that want nothing to do with a Conservative especially if that person voted for Trump.
There’s no such thing.
By voting for Trump, a person flushes any conservative bona fides they may previously have had down the toilet.
That was my experience with a member of my family, who spoke with extreme disdain for Trump (knowing I voted for him). As long as I let her go on unchallenged, she “allowed” me into her sphere. But when she made a completely false claim, and I nicely* refuted it with examples, she became infuriated that I didn’t just accept her view as fact. After that, she stopped returning my calls, and we haven’t spoke in six months.
*someone else was with us, and I later asked if I handled it well. She said she was impressed with how calmly I explained my position.
I have found that if you hit them with the facts no matter how nicely you do it they go ballistic!
I think it is only natural. Democrats are open minded about diversity, education, healthcare, criminal justice reform, racism, and all other social issues that need to be addressed.
Why would they have anything in common with people who would gaslight them on these human right issues? They dont even believe in human rights.
Repubs will be open to friendship because they have simply lost so many friends.
Interesting to see the difference. Democrats say they don't want any Republican friends, meanwhile Republicans/Conservatives say they would be open to having Democrat friends. And the left call themselves "open minded."
Watch:
Now look at the difference here:
The left has proven over and over again they are as far from open minded as one can be.
My guess is you have no Republican/conservative friends.
I have a lot of republican coworkers, out of maybe 15 or so people in my circle who are Republicans, 14 of them are National Review repubs, 1 is a qanon, breibart prager U dude. In my experience republicans dont watch pragerU anymore than democrats watch the YoungTurks, (I have never seen more than a 1 minute clip)
I have friends and relatives on both sides but any close friend would be a moderate Democrat, not a Trump follower. The Trump loving relatives have called me a "commie" ??? because they are so radical and hateful. I don't discuss politics with them anymore but I don't think our views differ that much except that they worship Trump.
And Trump makes me sick. He's a very bad example for kids with his name calling and bullying, his lies, and wanting to be President for life, which is un American.
I don't know any rabid progressive Democrats. Most are about like me--just middle of the road and we would be able to get along fine with the old style of Republicans, just not this new style that vote for whatever Trump tells them to instead of really caring about America.

This looks like a satire post.
