A guy I've known since middle school had decided to piss it all away. We've been friends for 20 years, all through high school, all through college, etc. Used to play games online almost every day. But as we got older I guess we've grown apart. I stayed conservative and libertarian through college, got married, etc. He turned into a liberal. He's never had any luck dating and I think he's just turned into a bitter, angry socialist. After the last election he went on a 2 month adult temper tantrum and blocked me on all chats.

Well, time for round 2. During the DNC convention he started sending me a lot of fake news, trying to talk politics. I asked him not to. I know we disagree and we're not going to change eachother's minds. But he kept going. When I asked him to stop more and what he hoped to achieve he called me a cultist, said I had my head up my ass, sent YouTube videos about basic reading skills, etc. Just tried to insult me. I still kept cool and didn't tell him how thoroughly I look down on his life. No need to be mean.

Today when I asked him not to discuss politics he said okay then sent 10 links to shitty fake news sites. I asked once again, please leave me alone, I've already formed an opinion. He said goodbye and blocked me again.

What a waste. I'd be less bummed about it if I had told him what I think of his pathetic lifestyle, but I didn't because that would be cruel.

What's going on with politics these days, remember when we used to be able to disagree?

The silver lining in this? He started acting up because he knows deep down there going to lose. He's desperate and pathetic, just like the rest of the Democrats. All of the shit they do is because they know it's over. See you at the ballots, soyboy!

Edit: who needs old friends, got pedes everywhere who won't disown me for loving this country. We've got the best people!
