Anyone lose some old friends over this election?

I think I did, but only time will tell.

1. Maybe, but I got my country back, so it was a pretty damn good trade!

:toast:

2. I lost a 20 year friendship....

... and yes it was worth it to get our country back. I've seen a side of them that I'll never forget.

[onlyadream]

3. It's worth it

But sad that people that I know and care about can be so closed minded.

11. I'll second that.

Racism cannot be tolerated with a smile. We can't afford to let their ignorance stand in the way of our progress. There's too much at stake. In the final analysis, it's democracy these people can't accept. They are the arrogant elite, not us.

4. Possibly - depends on if the closet racism actually comes to the surface

5. If I'm lucky my MIL won't talk to me again. nt

6. yes, but only because they were rounded up and sent to re-education camps this morning....

they will have memorized the words to 'the Internationale' by lunch!

7. ...

8. Me too. Time will tell, but it's not looking good...

I hope we can get past it.

9. I parted ways with my SIL of 30 some years (known her for 40+)

She wouldn't stop sending me anti-Obama e-mails that hadn't been fact checked. So I blocked
her e-mail and told her I was doing it.

10. I'm waiting for my (R) sister, perhaps her (R) husband or even my Dad to call...

so I can tell them what to think about this election. For otherwise really smart people, they sure are gullible and swallow the Repuke shit hook, line and sinker every damn time.

However, I'm tired of arguing with them. I have a problem with pointless discussions with anyone who's already made up their minds and, now that we've won, why waste the time?

I'm going to say I didn't vote, haven't been paying attention since the primary and will act shocked (but neutral) when they tell me Obama won.

12. Doesn't it suck that you have to not be yourself with these people?

We had to swallow their crap for 8 years and it was WAY worse than we EVER imagined! Now, all I hear is "baby killer" and "terrorist". What the heck?
