I’m on the fence here, folks. What should I do about this? I had a long time friend come over last night. We were fine until he started spouting off about his support for #TFG, how wrong I was for supporting Kamala, and that I was “talking out of my ass” for doing so and not listening. My response: “You can’t fix crazy or stupid” and that he was rude and just left it like that. Everything was a little awkward afterwards. Should I or should I not continue this friendship?
@Punisher1976 Dump him.
@Punisher1976 Hard to give advice on that one. I've lost a few friends in similar fashions. Not sure if it was worth going nuclear vs. just quietly breaking contact and not dealing with them anymore.56 year old me is a bit less nuclear than 49 year old me I guess, haha
@Punisher1976 Is it a friendship though?
@SaltyVeruca Yes….for about 8 years now. Just recently did this revelation within our friendship come to the forefront. I’m seriously torn because he’s been a great friend to me….but the fact that he got kind of combative with my simple disagreement with him makes me bristle with discomfort.
@Punisher1976 I don't know this person or you. I'd demand respect and put the topic off the table permanently at best. Just two cents.
@SaltyVeruca I told this same friend that very same thing that if he wanted to continue to hang out in the future that he has no right to do so at my place anymore, otherwise, peace be with him forever. He has been warned….if he does it again, he can hit the road for all I care. I’m sick of people acting uppity like they can just do whatever they please. Certain friendship protocols, no matter how old the friendship is, must be adhered to because that’s what keeps a friendship going. 🤷♂️
@Punisher1976 if he leaves it alone it could be fine. If not…no way would I put up with that. Especially in my house!
@Punisher1976 The support of a person/political movement that is hell-bent on taking away rights from women POC and LGBTQ+ is to support pure evil. I could not continue a friendship with a person who supported that wretched monster. He wants to hurt too many people I love. #politics
@ITKV I would have to agree with you on this. I’m seriously thinking of just letting the friendship go underneath the rug but quietly….just not responding and what not. I can’t support somebody who supports such human debris like #TFG on any level, since #TFG hates on everyone I love. I would be a hypocrite for allowing such hate even in an indirect way.
@Punisher1976
Only you can decide if it's worth it or not. I'm sorry that you even have to deal with this
@Idissent It’s even more sad that people are acting like this…..childish and selfish even as adults! It’s like Mommy and Daddy didn’t teach them how to even be a human anymore. I’m really getting sick of this crap.
@Punisher1976 Can't say what you should do; even fools deserve friends. But he would have to be a really good friend!
