We just moved to SC last year and we are in our early 30s.
My girlfriend met a group of people (most of them are teachers and all Biden supporters and Democrats). I met them a few times but they never talked about politics.
But tonight my girlfriend went out with them and I wasn't able to because of work. She calls me crying saying that they started talking about politics, and my girlfriend said her views. She's not even a hardcore conservative or anything, I'd say a very mild conservative, who voted Trump.
She said they all started bullying her, saying "oh so you're a conservative" and started calling her racist (she's half Asian) and that she only cares about money and basically ganged up on her. And felt alone because no one shared her views and said they made her feel like a bad person. She's very smart but not really good at explaining herself politically or talking politics.
I wish I was there because I would have torn them a new one.
The left are a bunch of bullies. Sad that you can't even talk politics anymore with these people throwing a fit and name-calling people for their beliefs.
It is a rare teacher that is a good person Let me tell you, teachers are a special bunch of democrats. Most of them, next to being selfish virtue signalers, are truly stupid. Most believe they are the most valuable people on the planet and are bitter because they don't get the respect they deserve for being the royalty they think they are. They are small minded entitled brats. And that myth about not getting paid anything? It's just that. A myth. Look in the public records at the salaries and benefits that teachers you know earn. One 2nd gr teacher in my district earns 80k/yr and about 30k in benefits. And don't forget, that comes with 2 solid months OFF in summer. 5 days OFF for Easter, 5 days OFF for Christmas, every weekend OFF. Every holiday OFF. Pensions. It goes on and on. They sit and whine while sitting in the sun poolside all summer long. They nauseate me. You can't breathe ONE WORD that reveals that you have a different opinion from them because they live in an insulated world and can't handle anything new coming in. They fall apart. Like babies. They're horrible people.
It happened so fast, too. When I was a kid, teachers were parents who had quit their jobs to spend more time with their school-age kids. They were biologists who taught basic biology, world travelers who settled down and taught language. And when smart kids came along, they said "You're going to go far, and be something great." Not 'you're gonna be a teacher, 'cuz we're the best ever.' One generation can blow it all; it's really amazing.
It really is
Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher. When I finally got there and found out what they were like, and what the system that had grown up around them was like, I only lasted a few weeks. I graduated high honors from a top ten university. I'm a carpenter now.
Good for you. I'd much rather work with wood and design than in the stagnant pool of public school teachers
Yup. I really just never could have done it. The environment is too insane and depressing.
Hahaha I relate bud. I was an education major aiding in a special Ed classroom wanting to be a teacher before I got in there and actually was in that environment. I luckily got a summer job in a cabinet shop before the student loan debt really got me.
Now I make custom homes the smell of fresh cut pine in the morning and working with my hands is so much more sustainable. The leftist insanity is a disease.
Username checks out!
Good for you. My Dad is a carpenter. And so was Jesus. Much more noble than being a teacher...
Is Jesus known more for his carpentry, or his lessons?
Had his lessons involved anti-racism + Marxist asset seizures for wealth redistribution and the miracles were about gender-changing, it would be his carpentry.
Yep! I taught for a few years and those women were the WORST! Dumb as rocks, could care less about actually teaching their students, lazy as fuck and plantation slaves every last one of them!
Ugh. Yes
I knew a girl studying to teach special ed and she would say "I wanna be able to punch the little retarts cuz nobody will say anything"
Oh my gosh.
Those people are not her friends. She can find better people to hang with.
Right. She can. They're a bunch of mentally washed up people with not an ounce of vision by the time they're 25 or done with their first year of teaching because the groupthink is so strong and rotten. Who needs that stale kind of life.
This is EXACTLY how I came to realize how f*cked America is.
Same exact thing happens in my daughters middle school. In Kansas. (Yes, I now home school)
There must be internally sexist and anti-Asian because they made an Asian women cry. They should repent for their woke sins.
But in all seriousness, fuck them. If your friends bully you over your political views, they ain’t your friends. They should apologize.
You don’t convince people that your good and your political ideas are correct by being vindictive and cruel to those who disagree with you. You do it by being empathetic and trying to explain where you are coming from.
I can't figure out if they are born with the inclination to be this way, or if they learn it. They live, breathe, and eat small mindedness so they can't do anything other than peck at a person's eyes like a clan of 8th grade girls.
There used to be a time (and I’m not that old) when you could have opposing political opinions and debate them without dehumanizing the other side or resorting to ad hominem attacks - but those times are gone.
I don’t discuss politics with anyone I work with because it is too toxic. There is no empathizing with someone who thinks you are a nazi because you voted for a president who has literally done nothing a nazi would do. Unless you work for a based employer (or are self employed with based customers) there is no benefit in throwing yourself under the woke bus.
As far as friends - better off making friends with people who aren’t brainwashed and if you find you already have some that are, cut them out of your life: no one needs that shit.
I’ve had a lifelong friend who has mostly been apolitical, but when he decided to join the branch Covidian cult I parted ways. I tried to talk some sense into him first, but when he reverted to his newfound programming accusing me of being a grandma killer for not trusting herr Fauci, I realized it was a lost cause.
One day he will realize he was wrong - or at least stupid to be unwilling to “agree to disagree” and we may become friends again, but until then, I’ve got plenty of friends who aren’t retarded, I don’t need that shit in my life.
I've been assuming people would wake up from their anti-Trump retardation for 4 years now, but it seems that the MSM + social media / big tech have done some outstanding propaganda work. Not in a good way, unfortunately. It's just surprising and sad to see people you assumed were fairly intelligent turn into screeching racist nut-jobs.
teach her the 5 best points/answers to deal with libs
Once again, people here acting like it's 2012.
Remove yourself from society. Only form communities with like minded people. Divorce yourself from the left. They are all going to commit suicide and they will bring you down with them.
One day we will have our own communities, and they will be strong. The left will envy them, and once again, demand that we "include" them. We will not. They will be left to suffer.
Let them suffer.
go on . . .
I voted for Trump because I like money so much that I want $2000 into my pocket on January 20th
The time has come to disassociate with these people. Don't work with them, talk with them, do business with them, or be around them in any way. They are stupid and dangerous.
It's time to be intolerant. Keep after your own. Spend your time, energy, and money on people who share your values. Let the rest wither and die.
My wife is a very dark skinned Colombian, my son i'd consider as, mix race. My wife is constantly called a racist,. And a slave to the white man. I'm called every name under the sun. Even my boy got told he has white privilege by proxy.... I'd just like to say. Welcome to the club... Fuck the leftarded hypocrites.. you need or want them as friends... Get your gf, a maga hat. A fuck Biden flag. And lots of fishing poles and bait.
This is why when you corner a leftist, alone in the wild, and confront them with facts, they blow a fucking gasket. They can only win in numbers, they can only bully in numbers, they only stand up for what they "believe in" when there is no one around who can make them shut the fuck up.
Remember this when it's minecraft time
you can't rip a new one in Minecraft though
Fuck em.
One day they'll try and kill her and that's a fact.
You have to teach her to confront their cry bullying right then and there. Pointing out the bullying/disrespect and hypocrisy from those who claim to be tolerant of diversity (except diversity of opinions) is one way to shut them up. Also, she can mock attack them by calling them racist (she’s half asian) and misogynist.
Pence had it wrong...women hanging around other women without their spouse might create problems.
some religion was something
They sound like a bunch of bigots full of hatred and intolerance.
I'm tired of conservatives being victims, when will we learn that we are fighting scum. Start fighting back already.
My wife's friends are all either hardcore dems or dem-by-default because "muh gays"
they did this to her AT HER BATCHELORETTE PARTY
my wife didn't cry, but she told them to stop talking about politics.
These people need to be put down (in minecraft)
Do yourself a favor and don’t associate with leftists.
I think I’m the only conservative professor at the school I teach. We are a rare breed. I keep to myself
Our differences as a people seem to be irreconcilable
Go beat some ass
Same happened to teenage relatives. The kids are being brainwashed. They attack anyone who says they are conservative.
Find a Church that doesn't require masks. Even if you aren't religious this is where you will find like minded people anywhere in the south.
No unity.
Yes, it really is the disease of a western worldview. Personally, I hold to old fashioned Biblical worldviews that stand the test of time and don't sway with the winds of feminism. I say " It's because God created a Homemaker, that husbands desire a Sandwich maker, children need a Cookie Baker, and Satan wants a Career Chaser ."
Pedators always wait until the opportunity shows itself, unfortunately, you never could have been there. The cowards never would have brought up something to single her out if you were there to protect her.
Why you crying on here? You should be looking for some teeth to knock out. But, whatever.
Meh, not worth going to jail for and ending up in the media as the "violent Trump supporter" who knocked out some poor "tolerant" leftists but I told her they aren't good people and aren't real friends if they treat you that way. And if I see them again, I won't use my fists but I'll give them a piece of my mind. Just not worth destroying my life and my girlfriends life over some braindead, brainwashed assholes.
Sorry you hung out with losers, but drop the deadweight and let the miserable jackasses rip themselves apart. I'm sure there's lots of people in SC that are fun to hang out with, but these people sound like the wettest of blankets.
Wet blankets. BINGO.
This state is becoming more cucked than I’m comfortable with
The root of Leftism is pride and arrogance. But from that pours out intense racism, vitriol, greed, envy, judgment, dishonesty, etc.
This exact thing happened to my wife before the 2020 election.
Her college friends bullied her for expressing conservative views in memory of her late father-- who was ultra-conservative (based). She came home in tears. Made me want to go kick their husbands' asses.
It worked out though. She blocked them from her life. She's much happier now not associating with them, and she has been somewhat redpilled from it.
Sounds like they brought someone to the table 🤣 Also, sorry for your gf.
