I'm done. Done lurking, done being cancelled, done trying to walk on eggshells around people close to me that are so incensed by me supporting our president that they decide not to talk to me anymore. I've been taking the high road for 4+ years, quietly turning the other cheek when friends and family spout their bullshit and explode at every possible opportunity, increasingly joining the ranks of the perpetually outraged.
I've been dancing around the topic of politics this whole time and refusing to give in to anger, never satisfying the urge to fight back against the insanity by meeting them at their absurd and emotionally charged level. I'm done being quiet, I'm done playing the diplomat, and I'm done being the adult in a sea of children unable to control their emotions. I can't be the buffer anymore, hopelessly clinging to the idea that those brainwashed by the other side will return to civility someday, even if we can't see eye-to-eye on the issues.
I'm beyond exhausted with people who can't handle that someone has an opinion different from them. My family and friends always had the "agree to disagree" rule where we had bleeding heart liberals, die-hard conservatives, and everyone in-between. We could argue politics and hug each other at the end of the night confident that whatever our disagreements, they were superseded by the bonds we shared: as human beings, as Americans, and as family. Those days are over, gone, destroyed; possibly never to return again.
This absolute clusterfuck of an election was the bowling ball that broke the camel's back. The insidious democratic machine finally went too far, finally infected enough of those around me that I have been pushed past my limit. Frankly, I'm both relieved to be able to stop pretending and ashamed it took me this long to do so. They were the ones to draw the lines, I'm just the one deciding which side to stand on. I stand with our president, I stand with America, and I am done pretending or holding back to spare the sensitivities of anyone. Thank you everyone here for unknowingly spending the last several years showing me that I wasn't the only one, and I'm sorry it took me this long to wake the fuck up. MAGA
P.S. Yeah it's a first post on a one-day old account, if you read the rant you'll know why.

That phrase has been uttered to me on innumerable occasions. By myself....
Dreaming of Big Mike perhaps?
Big Mike would scar him for life
Big Mike makes Hunter Biden hang his head in shame.
NEW RULES!
WE WIN!
That was in the before-before time. There is absolutely zero forbearance left
Welcome to the sane side, friend!

What you're describing is why Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to the GOP.
Republicans are notorious for being the party of "we'll just lose with dignity, give us an inch and we'll take a millimeter." Democrats, on the other hand, have a history of being corrupt, evil bullies. Trump is the first politician to stand up for what's right, even if it means he has to fight the entire incestuous Media-Hollywood-Deep State apparatus. Trump's a fighter, and a role model that other Republicans NEED to take after.
So true, it's like he showed us we don't have to play by their rules anymore.
Someone mentioned. Left can dial rage up and down at will
The right is an On/Off switch. Rage On!
One of my favorite poems:
The Beginnings
It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late With long arrears to make good, When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved, They were icy-willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low, Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show, When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd, It was not taught by the State. No man spoke it aloud, When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred, It will not swiftly abate, Through the chill years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the English began to hate
http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poems_beginnings.htm
people over the years have published a somewhat slanted/racial overtones version that starts "When the Saxon began to Hate," but this original was written by Kipling about WW1 and the Germans.
We are not bullies. Some make the fatal mistake thinking we are weak when it's just self-control.
Great piece of poetry Thank you
Welcome.

Welcome to thedonald.win! Felt good right? To step over that line. It did for me. It was a mental "gloves off" moment and I've been kicking asses with iron boots since then. Enough is fucking enough.
You'll like it here pede. Frens everywhere!!!
Felt very good, like taking off a backpack full of bricks.
100% understand. Lots of Mama, Papa, Brothers, Sisters, etc. here who have lost friends & family to TDS and we are done, too.
Even some people I never thought would fall prey to it (TDS) have by now, it's sad really but that's a "them" problem and doesn't really have anything to do with me.
This is true! It’s sad, really.
you chose ... wisely
It's like lansing a boil; relief and then healing...maybe a scar. Cheers. The Best is yet to Come!
That's kind of a perfect analogy, and I believe you're right
fights back urge to watch boil videos on YouTube
Am I the only one that is not comfortable with that analogy?
Be true to yourself. Don't pick fights, but if a subject comes up you're allowed to have your opinion. Don't let the haters on the left steal your love, if you know what I mean. The media, social media, and leftists can be a real drag on your soul.
Well said, I'm not out to hurt anyone, but if they choose to be hurt, that's their problem. And I do know what you mean, it's like everything out there is designed to make us ashamed because we love our country and don't want to drink the kool-aid, I'm fucking done with it there's plenty of people who see through the bullshit.
MAGA, pede!
Welcome friend, I've been in that same boat.
ABSOLUTE MADMAN
Look at me. We’re your family now. Welcome, fren.
Off topic , but I always smile when I see your username. My cat's name is Reggie, and it's okay to be him... cause he cute and soft and beautiful!
Ha! Thank Count Dankula. He was my inspiration.
We had a crow named Reggie:)
I have family that can't stand Trump. I ask them why they just say the same shit orange man bad. I ask them to name a policy that they don't like. They can never do it. They watch too much of Madcow and Russia Russia bullshit. They fall for the the media tells them to fall for.
So true, I honestly think it's because they're so used to never having any part of their bullshit ideology challenged. The second you actually ask them to be specific they try to turn it into "how dare you even question their irrational hatred." What a crock of shit...
I ask every Trump hater to name me ONE policy they hate. Mostly it's blank stares with a shrug OR the kids in cages bullshit. I do not put up with any of their bullshit anymore.

Still feeling alone?
Welcome!
Dont fret homie, America (the GOAT) doesnt lose. We win.
This is the way.
We’re going to have to figure out how to deal with them since they are threatening to deal with us and put us on lists. Hard to understand how we can live together after this either way. Shit is going to get interesting
I have placed an order for you for one coat and one brick.
Order number: b1llCL1nt0niS4r4p1st
I see what you did there. #kek
Same here, been lurking since pre-Podesta emails. Finally couldn't take it anymore!
Welcome fam
I think we all have been at that point or coming to that point like you did.
It’s time that we’re just as loud and our very large presence felt.
Hand this Pede a Coat!
Right there with you. If there ever was a time to take a stand, it's now.
Its a battle of good vs. Evil you chose the right side fren.
We're all sick of it Atrium, welcome!
Stickie this!!!
Here's my updoot. My feelings exactly.
Dare I say u/Atrium does not Fib.
(medical humor is best humor)
Welcome to the family.
I totally agree!
Hang out for awhile tell your friends about us!
Welcome
Feel ya man!
You may lose some friends and family members, but you'll find at least a few other people who agree with you and support Trump. Even in unlikely places.
So glad my family are all based. I probably would have gone to jail by now.
Welcome to the Club Brother!
Welcome! We need people to stop standing by, letting things go, saying "I'm not into politics." Thanks for joining the fight.
