I am sitting at my normal watering hole on this Friday night.
I have a professional day job. I am also a musician. I decided to sit out on a gig tonight. I’m glad I did.
I packed up my tobacco pipe and headed to my bar. I found a friend of mine as I walked in. He is a very vocal liberal. Hates GEOTUS and everything about him. Fine, whatever.
We talked. It somehow shifted to politics. Weird, since I never bring it up if I know I disagree with whom I am speaking with.
He started ranting about Trump. I listened, as always. I didn’t debate. I just listened.
Then, he did something that flipped a switch.
He called me a racist.
I said absolutely nothing racist. I didn’t defend my political beliefs while he was ranting.
He called me “inherinly racist” for being white. He’s white.
I fucking lost it.
I’m not going to go into what I said due to me not wanting to give too many clues about myself and inadvertently doxxing myself to a fucking leftist. But, I will say that I feel invigorated.
I finally started offering rebuttals to stupid leftist shit on social media.
I’m. Done.
I voted for him in 2016 and (cue Goofy meme) I’ll fucking do it again.
Trump 2020. Let’s Make America Great Again once more, Pedes.
I’m officially done w debating as well. In 2016 I threw out every single red pill around. Foreign policies, Veterans policies, Wikileaks, anti-lobbyist, anti-globalist, anti-Isis, anti-nation-building.
I lost nearly every single friend. For real. Hundreds of former co-workers & also every longtime “friend” I’ve known for years. Even a close Black friend who was in my wedding party, called me racist after he won.
They refuse to see it. And I am officially done wasting my energy. Life is beautiful. This country is magnificent. And I’m grateful for all of you here who recognize the same truths that I see too!
Lost many "friends" in 2016 as well. But I gained hundreds of thousands of REAL frens on r/T_D and now here. No-brainer of a trade. Art of the Deal, baby. 10/10 would do it again.
Oh shoot!... I forgot to add an important part...
100% would do it exactly the same. I feel liberated.
If ppl disown you bc they’re bigots, I’m better off without them.
you have to do what is right
Large friend groups are a mile wide but an inch deep.
