That was around the exact time I noticed this shit starting to change too.

I was, and still am a liberal by definition... but these people aren't liberals. They're about as illiberal as you can be.

I understand though because my wife is going through exactly what you're going through right now from these last 2 weeks. She was like "holy shit honey you were right all along... this is going to be a war." which sort of feels good in a way because she's been calling me crazy and saying I've lost my mind with all the civil war stuff. Overall however, I'm actually really sad that I was correct.

But you're right, it it began to show when the left started de-platforming people on college campuses around 2013-14.

Around then, my long time asian friend (who grew up with white people in school and made far more money than me) started calling me a privilleged racist who couldn't ever understand anything and was a 'lost cause' because of the color of my skin.

I was like dude wtf... it's ME bro... the same person you've been friends with for nearly a decade... The only reason his "asianess" came up in conversation was because he did a funny bruce lee impression but it was fuckin funny... I never asked him to do it... he just DID IT himself. Other than that, we were both for the most part 'colorblind'.

Another one of my friends, who I heralded and looked up to as such a smart guy is completely gone. He's now one of the "Im moving out of the country if he wins reelection" TDS, types even though we both laughed our asses off at "grab em by the pussy" in 2015. He actually could laugh at things back then... not anymore.

It's like their gripped in a constant state of unease and hatred. Must suck... but yea he's gone now too. I didn't even have to break away... they just kinda left me and stopped contacting me.
