No, you’re being an ass. You have to understand that not everybody thinks the same way as you. And arguing with people about politics when you should be enjoying your time with them doesn’t make people like you. This shit has broken up families. I see posts here about it all the time and that’s not acceptable to me. No matter what is happening. I don’t want to lose my old friends. My brother is a full blown cuck, but he’s actually a great guy. He’s probably got a higher iq than me. Go figure. I like my neighbors here in the Bay Area even though they’re all Biden voters. They’re not stupid. They just vote stupidly.

If your friends abandon you for the sole reason you support Trump, then they are shitty friends. If they weren't, it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

Above poster isn't being an ass, he's just pointing out the truth. And he's right.

I’m not saying I’d be abandoned by this person, but life is much more nuanced than both of you seem to understand. My peers seem to be overly sensitive to Trump for whatever reason. I fucking love him, but that’s unusual around here. It’s not like they haven’t had the chance to come around. I’m simply saying arguing about it with people isn’t going to endear yourselves to them. And they might not want to have you around for a while if it gets heated which can happen when everybody thinks they’re right. He was already perplexed about his uncle. I chose a subtle approach. They’re very close and that’s family. Yes I consider him a good friend even though his judgment is cloudy right now. People are complex.

The older I get the less and less I see of old friends. I’m lucky if I get to see some people once a year. We don’t live close to each other and we’re also working around a pandemic now. I really don’t want to leave any bitter feelings or excuses to shrug off the next chance to get together.

I’m sorry man, when your dear friends rat you out to the Biden Gestapo I’ll lay flowers on your doorstep
