In reply to the discussion: I have ended a friendship with a MAGA [View all]orleans
(36,377 posts)a bigot? a racist? a misogynist? a homophobe? a hypocrite? a self-centered/self-important bully? a delusional trumper dickhead? someone whose morals, values, and ethics are vastly different than yours? someone who doesn't give one shit about things that might be important to you? someone with a total lack of social conscience or social responsibility?
someone who makes you laugh once in awhile or you can go out drinking with but when you take a good look at them you see what an ugly person they truly are? someone without heart or soul?
whatever the good part of the relationship was, was it worth it? worth the aggravation? the insults? the frustration? the anger?
some people have this tendency to think "if i only say the right thing, make them think about something long and hard, tell them enough facts, tell them enough times" they will have a "come to jesus moment" and realize the democrat was right all along and, finally convinced, they now hate trump. BUT is anything a trumper says to you going to make you hate democrats and love donald trump? just like a lot of alcoholics, that change or decision to stop drinking or get help has to come from within themselves.
i have a friend who was always arguing and fighting and referencing facts to trumpers on facebook. it didn't matter how often i'd tell him he wasn't going to change anyone's mind, he kept doing it. he never did change hearts and minds (as far as i know) but then he started a democratic fb page and only allows dems to be a part of it and now he posts political posts to his heart's content and doesn't get into pissing contests with anyone. i'm sure that has had a positive effect on his mental health. i know he's preaching to the choir but so what? he can vent, get constructive feedback, and not be triggered by a bunch of republican/trumper assholes
i'm glad you cut this asshole loose. he sounds like he was a real poison pill.
so congratulations on new beginnings
