I'm going to have to remove a Trumper out of my life for now. They drank the Kool aid and they're pissed no one else in their life is drinking it. This is bananas.

@Jess It feels like the pieces on the gameboard are all over the place.

I can see the cultural Balkanization of the USA continuing apace over the next few years.

@stuartblair She's very much "yeah Russia" lol gurl you're an American. I'll be reminding her of that before we ultimately remove each other.

@Jess I had a childhood friend back in Scotland. He got very right-wing the last decade. It made it hard to have natural conversations, since pretty much everything about who should get what and why is a conversation in politics.

He died last year at only 53. Sometimes I tell myself that I should feel something that he's gone, but I'm slightly ashamed that I don't miss him.

It's not even as though I have a big social circle, but quality over quantity seems to work for me.

@stuartblair I have a pretty small circle myself. I guess I should end things now so it doesn't get ugly.

@Jess Good for you! I never managed to cut my toxic friendship off. I often wonder how it would have gone and whether I'd feel better because I'd taken the positive step to make my life better rather than just letting events take their place. Kudos to you.
