That's rough, I'm sorry to hear that friend. I would be able to coexist with them easily were it not for the toxicity and always seeming to go out of Their way to make people feel uncomfortable/bad. I've only been a Trump supporter a couple years...was big into Bernie before then. Mostly because he was talked about a lot here...i was probably 17 or 18 or so then and am 22 now so i was fairly impressionable and I had a dramatic "meltdown" over him not winning. When i actually got involved i switched sides fairly quickly and began to realize all the hateful posts online from friends and even some family were basically directed at me. It does have a way to make you feel lonely. I've always had depression and I have had traumatic experiences and while in some ways just being on the side I'm on has put me through the mental ringer as I've come to terms with the fact people who'd known me for years and everyone who'd alway sworn up and down that I'm a nice guy would label me a Nazi now, i love being a part of all this and I love being on here as i know better than to think we're any hate group. It's hard but we're not alone.
