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.

I had this same issue for a while. I eventually either stopped talking politics or moved on. If you can't have a civil conversation and agree to disagree then it's not worth your time. Most of my old friends have bad cases of TDS and are a lost cause. People like that have to wake up on their own. Your best bet is taking them to a rally and letting them see it for themselves. I'm old and don't use FB or most other social media it's hard to make new friends. Good luck.
