I'm from MA myself originally, hence all the issues with ultra-libs in my circle(s). I feel your pain, I really do. Especially when I never twisted the knife when Trump won, even when people around me tempted me to do so on a regular basis. I know it sucks to be around people like that, just stand in your conviction and never forget "to thine own self be true." I'd rather deal with some shit and still be playing for the good guys than the alternative.
Thank you, you raise a lot of good points. I truly didn't mean to give the impression that I'm going to walk around with the same "fuck you I'm right" attitude that I've hated seeing in them. To your point, it's a fine line to walk - speaking the truth but not twisting the knife. I guess my goal from here on out is some form of compassionate honesty. I know that throwing gas on the fire won't help anyone, I'm just not going to allow myself to live dishonestly in any way, not anymore. Much appreciated.
Thank you, I really needed to hear this, you described my experience exactly. Like you said, I'm not resolving to hurt anyone. I'm just done lying, pretending, or staying silent. However anyone else chooses to feel about the truth is on them.
So true, I honestly think it's because they're so used to never having any part of their bullshit ideology challenged. The second you actually ask them to be specific they try to turn it into "how dare you even question their irrational hatred." What a crock of shit...
Well said, I'm not out to hurt anyone, but if they choose to be hurt, that's their problem. And I do know what you mean, it's like everything out there is designed to make us ashamed because we love our country and don't want to drink the kool-aid, I'm fucking done with it there's plenty of people who see through the bullshit.
Me: This low energy shit is definitely a clickbait reversal...
Also me: Hoo boy! Got me!
