I don't want to bore you guys with the details. The feelings are a bit raw, but I'd bet most people here can sympathize. The weird part is that I don't even think I'm hurt or mad. I may have actually gotten used to people close to me suddenly deciding that they think I'm a nazi or something. I think I'm actually relieved because now I don't have any social groups left except my church. It was the last pocket of my life that was trying to shame me into capitulation and degeneracy.
Because of a mix of reasons, the only Trump rally I went to was the STS rally on Jan 6th. That was the first time in YEARS that I felt like I was surrounded by people who understand me. Can some nothern state hurry up and secede so I can have a destination to which I can move? I want to live in a whole community full of you people.
In an effort to actually keep this post relevant to the forum: Do we actually have any level of organization for a secessionist movement? Every conversation I see just turns into "DO IT AT THE COUNTY LEVEL" and I can't shake the feeling that we'll need a bit more scale than that. If we want to succeed, we'll probably have to get people who want to secede to relocate to a specific state (or states, ideally), and we'll probably have to do it while the energy is still high, and before the gulags become too real.
Kind of both? We've been going to a summer camp together since like 2013 or so, in a tight-knit group of friends birthed from that. He's among a 5-person DnD group that has been playing together weekly-ish for a year. He just messaged me a bit ago to say that we're not meeting tomorrow because he needs distance from me specifically.
I don't get political at the table because I know 3 of the 5 are pretty liberal, with him being the worst. He recently decided he wanted different pronouns. Although that never became an issue, I did assume that he had toxic people whispering in his ear, and that my time was coming. I worry for his health.
No offense, but I notice that all of you who talk about losing friends are kind of high on the nerd scale? Go do some manly hobbies, and you will actually meet some real trump supporters. Go buy a boat. You are swimming in soy which produces these freaks.
I am not bagging on DnD or gaming, just saying that unfortunately it is a breeding ground for marxist freaks, just like social media.
