I've received a couple of messages on various platforms that ate some iteration of "Heeey buddy... how you been?", all from people that ghosted me for at least a month before the election. Some of them said the most horrid things imaginable about me and mine beforehand. As if now all of a sudden that they "won" we can be civil and I will "see the light".
Talked to about a dozen others and they all said something similar happened to them.
Needless to say my responses varied from no response to reposting, in quotes, the worst of what they said, or in some cases just free helicopter ride memes.
I only have MAGA friends.
I tried to avoid that for 3 years after 2016. I didn't want to create an eho chamber for myself. I'm now convinced we are fully Balkanized, and I've put in my application to join the Proud Boys.
I didn’t intend it to go that way, but when I talk to non-redpilled people now it’s like they live on a different planet. I honestly don’t understand the world they live in. Some of them I’ve known for 30 years, and now because of Trump I feel like I have nothing in common with them any more. The things that matter to me and the things I take as foundational are things they’re just not aware of or don’t care about.
Many people in America are not well informed or knowledgeable about our constitution and the sacrifices made to keep it. It may not be their fault as schools do not teach traditional civics courses and we have been blessed to avoid war on our soil. We are fat and happy and our heroes are celebrities, not warriors or statesmen. We are narcissistic in the age of Obama. I am old and I pray my grandchildren do better.
I blocked them on social media.. and if they do get through to me, I will tell them "Let's keep having the same relationship we had last 4 yrs, none."
Waiting to have my mom try the “time to come together and heal” crap over thanksgiving. Ima let it rip.
Yeah I would. Trump called for unity in Jan 2017 and the left spent four years calling him a Nazi. So no, you had your “time to heal” and you blew it.
Left facebook and twatter, so no messages for me.
I have. 3 ppl apologizing for how they treated me on other trumpers. One even felt so bad she wrote GEOTUS a letter apologizing for how she let herself get dragged into the hysteria. Election night raised more than just Trumpers eyebrows. 2 messages were nearly word for word saying "election night and the day after made me wonder what else the media is hiding from me and started digging"
I appreciate the sentiment from them but had to tell them that maybe next time they should do some digging before they vote and not just assume the dude not being reeeeeeeeee'd at is the right choice.
Yeah, figuring it out after the election when you’ve had four years to open your fkn eyes is too little too late.
Naw, after I was alluded to murderers and tin foil hat q-anon shit I just ghosted them back.
Fuck em
One of these guys threatened to accuse the camp I worked for of pedophilia on election night 2016. I saved the message because it clearly said he was doing it knowing it was false.
Yeah, let's be buddies now, no hard feelings? Pound sand, Commie.
For me it was Kyle Rittenhouse. I posted videos clearly showing him defending himself. Instead of arguments they just started with insults. Those people aren’t worth my time and I’m kinda disappointed in myself for reflecting on them now.
Are they contacting you because they won and “it’s time to heal”, or because the fraud is so fkn blatant they can no longer pretend you were wrong?
"Heal".
The best revenge in these situations is "living well". Focus on winning in your own personal life, associate with like-minded people, and never look back...
Yes!!
Excellent confrontation skills, pede.
They planning for that Biden shutdown and the return of the individual mandate. They know they gonna need to borrow money from the conservative side of the family soon. Don’t cucking fall for it.
No friend or family dares challenge me. It doesn't end well for them.
Now that... that is something I hadn't thought about. You're totally right, as all their other TDS symptoms were MSM or pol inspired...
Not yet. They’re either silent because they’re still digesting that Trump won and maybe Biden cheated, or they’re screeching incoherently that Trump is winning because he’s a dictator. And fuck all Trump supporters.
While I do love my husband and sons, and most days I’m fine at home, I really do wish there was someone, in person, that I could share with. I’ve lost just about everyone because of my Trump support and for refusing to call 74 million people racists, sometimes it was as small as uttering that “he’s not Hitler, let’s not be extreme”.
Just remember that you're not alone. Family is definitely the hard one to deal with. Friends are whatever, but having close family accuse you of awful things is brutal. There are million of people like you.
Thank you.
