In reply to the discussion: I have ended a friendship with a MAGA [View all]kwolf68
(8,120 posts)21. I was considering doing that...but
I have one friend in Colonial Heights, Virginia who has a friend very politically interested and he's on the left but is swarmed by the maggotts. My friend texts me and says this guy is struggling and frustrated and he likes what I post and wishes he could say what i say. I told him to put him in touch with me, we can be friends. Sure enough he asked for friendship and we have chatted a bit and he's a great fucking dude, but literally it's HIM against 1000 people. If I leave Facebook this guy doesn't have someone like me to talk to. So I stick with it. Can't leave a fellow Democrat behind enemy lines alone.

Yep, it's like cleaning out the garage. Cathartic and the lack of stress inducing clutter will prove relaxing.

The Facebook and X battlefield has been lost to disinformation and the malignantly cruel and stupid among us.

Yeah, I'm with you. I haven't seen the point in being friends with conservatives whatsoever since the early 2000s.

Been there. Similar situation. It's hard, but you have to put your mental health first.

For the last ten years my New Year's resolution has been to keep fidiots and jerkholes out of my life.

The only friend I had who I now think has probably completely been swallowed by MAGA
