Curious if any other Pedes have lost friendships and even family members as a result of their outspoken support of our President.
I am a very publicly outspoken supporter of President Trump. I certainly have lost friends, colleagues, clients, even family members, but in my heart I know it is a worthy battle because I'm doing the right thing. If I lose some friends along the way, so be it.
Have lost family & friends both due to my support of Trump. I've been called racist by people that have known me for 40 years simply because I support the man. They had no problem being in my life for decades, but now I'm suddenly racist...but haven't done or said anything racist? This whole thing just pisses me off, and I fear it's only getting worse. Like you, though, I know I'm doing the right thing. I will not sacrifice my beliefs and morals because other people are brainwashed.
After Biden's speech last week, one of my old friends had mentioned how great it was to finally have a President speak of unity. I said Trump spoke of unity too, and all we got was hate. These dumbasses actually tried to compare it to Obama. There's a big difference in disagreeing with the politician vs demonizing everybody that voted for him. I asked them all how many of them lost friends and family because they supported Obama, and that's where the conversation ended. None of them did, of course.
