I was chatting with a friend tonight, and he said that it was poetic justice that President Trump got COVID-19, and that he "hoped for the worst". I told him that wishing death on our President - who was duly elected to be this country's leader - makes him a terrible person (as bad as anyone he has ever criticized) and is a big middle finger to all the citizens who exercised their right to vote for the person they thought best represented them.
I haven't heard a peep from him since, and I'm pretty sure the friendship is over. He's always been a decent guy, and it's sad that he's turned into such a nasty person. I've lost so many friends over the past four years.
I thought I lost friends too, but honestly I’m relieved I don’t have to deal with hate anymore. I just wanna be around good people. I’d rather be alone than be with people like that.
Liberalism destroys lives
The past four years have revealed a lot about the character of people I thought I knew. No wonder the country is where it is.
Truth
Hope he’s thinking about his words. His conscience is probably working overtime right now.
Liberalism destroyed my family. It’s a horrible disease
Mine too. I’m the oldest of 9 children in an Irish Catholic Family and after my two younger sisters came back from LSU they infected my parents with liberal bullshit. The parents were heavily involved in our church and went from that to pussy hat and anti Trump marches and voting for everything the opposite of the morality of the church they raised us all in. Me and my sister are the two Republicans (and by FAR the most $$$ successful) and we are just tolerated. I moved to Texas but my sister still lives there and they don’t invite her to family functions unless they have too. They treat her like an outcast. I can’t believe it has turned out this way. Liberalism is pure Evil
As a Catholic pede myself I'm daily appalled at the number of Catholics who seem to have let their consciences desert them and have gone over to the other side so to speak
The Catholics and the Jews always vote against those that hate them
I feel your pain! I’m the only conservative in my family. They actually told me that all I have to do to be included is LOWER my moral compass!!! I refuse so I’m an outcast. I’m in Texas too!
Welcome Brother
Better off without 'em.
I have zero dead weight in my associations. Feels good, man.
You did the right thing calling him out for being so hateful. You don't want people like that in your life anyways, stay positive my friend!
I'm praying for ya. It sucks when this happens. I've lost most friendships and family relationships lately. Only a few friends and immediate family now.
This corona crap has really taught me which people I can trust in a crisis and which would have handed their neighbors over to the Gestapo in WWII Germany
Need to stop considering people like that 'friends'. Disgusting people should hold no virtue that you could resonate with. Discard them.
He's not your friend. He'd sacrifice you in front of a twink for sure.
My Father once told me “you will have many acquaintances in your life but very few true friends” and after 60+ years that has been my experience. Just a few I could count on under any circumstance.
You're definitely not alone in that club, pede. Mine tried to come crawling back after suddenly texting me three months, as if nothing had happened. I told him to save it, because in that time, I'd been able to re-think our
friendship, and saw things in a different light. I've unfortunately peeked behind a curtain and saw some other online friends saying some pretty ugly things about conservatives. I'm afraid if I confronted them, they'd turn Body-Snatchers on me, and I'd be shunned from that group. What confounds me is the cognitive dissonance in realizing that these are veterans and firearm enthusiasts, I'm talking about. How they can believe Marxist doctrine, I can't fathom.Its a sad thing to lose friends over what should be a simple disagreement. One of my friends of 5 years stopped talking to me during the Kavanaugh debacle. She said "believe all women" and I asked what if it was me and I was accused of rape. She said it would never happen and I proceeded to point out all the times it has to innocent people. I was naive and a new Pede. I thought I could still have disagreements with drinking buddies and family friends, people who celebrated my childrens' birthdays with me and my wife. I was dead wrong. I miss the friends I've lost and I can't say that remembering the good times gets easier to forget but there is something ive personally found solace in.
I am on the right side of history. I am able to take criticism and refine my worldview. I am able to look at policy and adjust my beliefs, thinking in ways I had been stagnated from before. I can stand on truth, facts and logic and make up my mind, lift my head and speak out unabashedly. I can accept losses in my life and move forward. I am stronger. I am smarter. I am no longer denying reality in exchange for the perception of friendship. I am no longer betraying myself.
Hold your head high Pede. You are on the right side of history and you are part of a family you dont have to lie to for fear of not being accepted. You are winning.
You deserve better friends. Time for an upgrade, Pede.❤️
Hey OP, your faggot friend needs to have his throat slit for shits and giggles.
Try that response, LOL
