I think I've finally had enough of their bullshit. I used to be an obnoxious liberal but sometime in 2014 before the midterms I came to my senses. Some of these people have been my friends for years so I've put up with their snarky comments, telling me I'm misguided or confused and I'll come to my senses. I've put up with them ganging up on me and yelling in my face about how and why I'm wrong. I've put up with the constant Trump and Conservative bashing. But after these last two weeks of all of them pandering and virtue signaling I finally think I'm done. I've never heard a single of one them ever mention black inequalities or their concern for black lives. Some of them are posting ways to defund the police. I think I've hung on for so long because everyone I know is a liberal and if I stop hanging out with them, I'll have no friends left but at this point I would rather be friendless than surrounded by a bunch of mindless hypocrites.

Everyone in my gchat is a liberal. It's tough. I just don't say anything anymore. They repeat all the expected leftist talking points that the media says they should be thinking regarding any particular issue of the week. Some things are better left unsaid so at the expense of not losing them forever I just idle without typing.
One of them even went as far as saying "trump idiots" in the scrollback and I caught him out on it. At least now I know how he feels about me, my parents, and anybody else who doesn't align politically with his views.
