Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
I was about the only Libertarian/Republican in a group of of about 8 to 10 friends that went out every Saturday night for dinner and also for drinks during the week.

During the Obama years, we talked politics and current events with never an issue or argument.

During the 2016 debates between Hillary and Donald Trump, we each hosted a debate party had lots of fun eating, drinking and laughing.

The night of the election, I decided to have a separate party alone (invited some of the guys who worked on my house instead as a celebration for finishing a project). I did not want to be around my friends celebrating, thinking Donald Trump would truly win. That would have been a buzz kill to see them crying, which actually happened, so I have good instincts.

After Donald Trump won, two months later, one of the friends snapped at me in front of everyone, calling me a dumb educated bum fuck for voting for Donald Trump. Keep in mind, he was a college professor, so of course he thinks he is so much smarter and wiser. He makes about 1/4th of what I make annually, up to his ass in debt (not college debt, but Amazon purchase debt) and yet I have more degrees and certifications, owe nothing, but I digress.

After that, the group fell apart, it was just me and 2 others (that tolerated the political discussions, somewhat in the same way in the past).

Well, that all ended this week. We were supposed to take one of the friends to dinner for his birthday and he basically said, it's supposed to rain, so let's just cancel. No need to rebook, let's just wait til next year.

The other one got mad when I sent her the pic of the cop punching the Antifa guy in the face when he touched the cops rifle. She was up set that I called guy Antifa (dressed in a black hoodie).

Well, That's it for me. I cannot go out with friends that have seemingly different values now and whereby I have to be careful in what I bring up in conversation.

Keep in mind, I was always the conservative voice in the group and had a high tolerance for others and also respect. But obviously, the liberals are not so tolerant. I suppose they were only tolerant at that time since they were in power.

The funny thing too is, there is no remorse. I don't need to be around people who share all of my views. That is boring. I just need friends who actually tolerate people with different views.

The other funny thing, they are all big time Facebook types, all Corona believers and all iphone users (Apple). I am the only Droid user, no social media (except for this non-narcissistic site) and called it hoax from the very beginning. I find this all very interesting as well.

Anyone else lose a batch of friends this past Hoax season?
 Quoting: St. Pete Traveler


Just about everyone I thought was a friend - intelligent too... so sad they are brainwashed. Very clever language that injures, comes from them, its saddening to the core

Its in the bible that Brother will turn against Brother.. or something like that.

We have here.. its good to know that there are many who see exactly the same things going on: not the narrative we are being forced to believe
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78854264


Lol. Intelligent?
You must be a liberal or a shill.
I don't know of anyone who is even remote intelligent that believed anything of what the lamestream media and government says.
Only complete idiots fall for the lamestream media brainwashing and trust the government's.
Anyone with an I.Q. above 70 knows the lamestream media is a bunch of bullshit are doesn't trust anything the lamestream media says and doesn't trust the government, and knows best is better when the government's stays out of stuff.

Let me guess.
You're one of those people who think anyone with a college degree is intelligent.


Well I got news for you
A lot of the stupidest people I've seen are those with college degrees.


Back in the 1980's a college student might have meant done but nowadays colleges are full of idiots and tons tons of idiots hey college degrees which is what your friends obviously are. Though of course idiots like you believe that having a college degree automatically makes one intelligent.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
Yep! Lost almost all of my 10 + closest friends of 40 yrs over the last few years. They’re all libs. I’m not. It’s a blessing really because it’s very sad to see what they’ve become. Shake it off. Make new friends that share your values. Or don’t. It’s a loss but it fades. I’m sorry though. I really am.
 Quoting: Fossy


Do you find they are really materialist, status quo as well?

Watch lots of TV, live in some bland suburban house wiht the marble counter-tops and spend their weekends at Home Depot or Costco?

That's been my experience.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78975610


Well, it’s like this. During the Reagan years we were all on the same conservative page. Clinton came along and still on the same page. I then moved to Texas. Obama and Fakebook and Twitter came along we started to fracture. I was like “ when did you become pro choice?” During the run up to the Trump election my best friend bought a pussy hat. I said to them all the last time we were all together at a funeral. “It’s like I don’t even know you anymore, y’all have changed, I haven’t. “ They laughed at me and chided me for saying “y’all”
That was 4 yrs ago I haven’t spoken to them since but I see what they post when I care to go look.

And yes, it’s cnn and msm all the way. It broke my heart, we’re in our 50’s now but we had been as close as you can be since we were all 14 or 15. I cried about it here for a while at the time but “the :D comedian” helped me through it. I miss him. Anyway you will get over it. But I’m very sorry for your loss hf
Making sammiches great again!

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
I had a liberal friend years ago; we were actually best friends. We ate out a lot, house sat together and even travelled. On the day after 9/11 I said it wasn’t real. He said the government wouldn’t do it to us. That was the start of years of disagreement that led to the end of our friendship. No matter what I said or did he had to be right. He never stopped criticizing me and even said the cat I’ve had for 5 years should be with a different family. I miss the time we spent together- simpler times-but have moved on.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
There really IS a big difference between liberals and conservatives. I've lived on both sides of the political fence, so my own experience bears this out.

The are exceptions to just about everything but in general, conservatives are MUCH more tolerant of differing opinions. Liberals have this almost insane need to be right ALL THE TIME, even when facts and common sense prove them wrong. And again, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THEY ACCEPT A DIFFERING OPINION.

Take Facebook for example. I have a number of long-time liberal FB friends. I've never "un-friended" any of them, despite some pretty intense discussions. However, I've been un-friended by at least six liberal FB friends. My offense? I simply and politely disagreed with them.

It wasn't always like this. But I believe the change began when Barack Obama first took office in 2008. For some reason, when he became President a dark cloud of division settled over American society. Who knows -- maybe it was a spiritual thing. And that chasm of division has only grown wider since then.
 Quoting: Doc Savage


You are exactly right. I was much more Liberal when younger and also voted Democrat at the time. I remember being able to engage in political discussion with friends without everyone getting their feathers ruffled. We could agree to disagree and move on to the next topic.

Also, talking politics wasn't necessarily a favorite pastime. Topics came up from time to time, but these days you can't get 5 minutes into a conversation with a Liberal without some sort of fuck Trump comment no matter what you're
talking about to begin with.

I don't participate in Facebook. It's always struck me as some kind of high school popularity contest.nl Who can get the most friends? Who can get the most shares? Who can get the most likes? I have better things to do with my time. That said, unfriending someone over a single political disagreement strikes me as extremely juvenile behavior.

One of my last liberal friends has apparently blocked my number since the BLM thing broke out. We hadn't even discussed the issue and I only found out when I texted them to see how they were doing and found my texts will no longer go through.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
Those are not friends, I have very few liberal people I’m able to talk too. You’ve just found out to late, they were never your friends. Sorry, people who see reality or truth, and have acquaintances that don’t can never truly understand your efforts to wanting to discover the truth. Your light years ahead of them and always will be. Let them be spoon feed the daily lies, you seek a higher understanding of the truth. Good on you bro. I can’t nor will debate people who aren’t awake to the facts placed in front of them. It’s flipping draining. Hence, the reason I come to GLP’s Wild West platform. You can almost say anything and most don’t give two %!<€. Your good, stay on the path of enlightenment. God Bless Patriot
 Quoting: Aquaveva


Agreed. That is why it really isn't upsetting. What was upsetting was biting my tongue more and more over the past couple of years. I am just floored at the hatred of Donald Trump. Trust me, I love political humor and don't get upset about any Orange jokes or anything like that, but the anger they spew when talking about him.

Toward the end, when discussing the Democratic candidates during the primary, no matter who you discussed on their side, it always came back to Donald Trump. I would have to stop them and say, "hold on, at this moment we are discussing Joe Biden, let's stay on topic".

They had no trouble staying on topic during the Republican primaries in 2016. Bizarre. Almost cult like.
 Quoting: St. Pete Traveler


CNN and MSNBC feed them hate and lies...propaganda. I tried to get my liberal friend to watch FOX just one time! Just once!

NOPE! Oh well. I call people like that stupid. Not opened minded. No common sense. He votes Democrat. His wife votes Republican. They try not to discuss politics because they are so happy together. Great relationship.

But I'm waiting for the day when he wakes up. Not sure if it will ever happen.
 Quoting: nutmeg


I just turned on CNN to check what they had going and the only thing I'm seeing is millions of peaceful protesters walking around. No "hate, likes and propaganda" so far as I can see.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79002387

Did you happen to see the guy in Dallas get beaten to death, or the retired police captain in ST. Louis get shot, or the guy that ran to help a woman on a bicycle who was beaten to death? They were all white and at least two if not three killed by black mobs. Did their lives matter? Did the socialist media even mention them?

My wife's liberal (CNN addicted( friends are unfollowing her and she thinks her very closest friends are going to stop talking to her soon all because she's been sharing information that opposes the left on social media the past week.

On the bright side some have actually woke up because of it and asked for more.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78938557


Wow!
I can't believe all these so called conservative people with liberal best friends.
I seriously doubt these people are really conservative.
Probably just a little less liberal than their friends, so they feel like a conservative, but still very much liberal.
True conservatives wouldn't give the time of the day to liberal scum.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74709691


Keep in mind a lot of so-called conservatives today would have been considered ultra-liberal back in the 1980's.
Not to mention people considered retarded in the 1980's actually had a lot more intelligence than a lot of so-called intelligent people today have.
Just look at all the idiots with college degrees nowadays.



It often seems as if the average IQ in America today is 50.

Hollywood types, those friends were the first to go
The love of my life, bit by bit drifted away
Close friends for years, those slowly dropped away
The few family members I have, were the last to go

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
My experience has been the exact opposite.

I am a very traditional heritage American family farmer in a small rural town that happens to be a magnet for wealthy city folks in Winter and Summer(ski mountain/glacier lake, typical elitist getaway).

I don't like talking politics because I'm Jeffersonian and virtually everyone who buys from us is a country club Marxist. They can tell from my demeanor and the way we run our farm- orderly, well run, we work together as a family, polite, law abiding, you know,typical racist behavior- that I am the polar opposite of their globalist kumbaya cult, but because we have the best meat, eggs, veggies, etc. they hold their nose when they come up and buy something.

We've never had so many customers as we have in the past three months. And now they are all excited to have a "personal farmer" that they can count on to keep them supplied with food should things get sketchy.

Did I mention that we've had to increase our price structure to meet the demand from our new customers? I call it the asshole tax.

This shit's been polarizing people like crazy.

I was out for the second time with a female that I'd met a few days back, and things were going great until the protests became a part of the conversation.

I expressed my views about the rioters, at which point she informed me that she was 'very liberal' and supported the rioters, at which point the date was over... for both of us.

 Quoting: cosmicgypsy


Violence is ALWAYS the answer.. like it or not.

That is why we have Armies, navies and air forces.

when the talking fails because one side refuses to accept equality across the board, then violence erupts.

The secret is to visit as much violence and as hard as possible on the other side in the shortest amount of time.

That is why we "won" WWII and we are still quagmired in the middle east.

Violence always solves the problem, on one side or another.

After Donald Trump won, two months later, one of the friends snapped at me in front of everyone, calling me a dumb educated bum fuck for voting for Donald Trump. Keep in mind, he was a college professor, so of course he thinks he is so much smarter and wiser. He makes about 1/4th of what I make annually, up to his ass in debt (not college debt, but Amazon purchase debt) and yet I have more degrees and certifications, owe nothing, but I digress.

After that, the group fell apart, it was just me and 2 others (that tolerated the political discussions, somewhat in the same way in the past).

Well, that all ended this week. We were supposed to take one of the friends to dinner for his birthday and he basically said, it's supposed to rain, so let's just cancel. No need to rebook, let's just wait til next year.

The other one got mad when I sent her the pic of the cop punching the Antifa guy in the face when he touched the cops rifle. She was up set that I called guy Antifa (dressed in a black hoodie).

Well, That's it for me. I cannot go out with friends that have seemingly different values now and whereby I have to be careful in what I bring up in conversation.

Keep in mind, I was always the conservative voice in the group and had a high tolerance for others and also respect. But obviously, the liberals are not so tolerant. I suppose they were only tolerant at that time since they were in power.

The funny thing too is, there is no remorse. I don't need to be around people who share all of my views. That is boring. I just need friends who actually tolerate people with different views.

The other funny thing, they are all big time Facebook types, all Corona believers and all iphone users (Apple). I am the only Droid user, no social media (except for this non-narcissistic site) and called it hoax from the very beginning. I find this all very interesting as well.

Anyone else lose a batch of friends this past Hoax season?

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
I've never had any liberal friends; it seems I've maybe met a few liberals, but there wasn't enough "connection" to yield any interest. If I KNOW they are liberal, I keep my distance.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
I've come to realize that losing a liberal friend is like losing that scab under my nose after the razor bites me, it's like losing 10 pounds of fat,
it's like waking up today and finding no ear hair, it's like droping a duce when it's been turtling for half an hour,
it's relief like realizing the swamp ass you've been smelling isnt yours,
Its like discovering the waddle walk to the to bathroom protect your underwear paid off.

Its like placing an order at the drive through when your wallet is at home and finding enough cash in the center console to pay for the order.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
Op I can so relate to what happened to you as did happen to me as well.
I also live in the area. And used to have a group of like minded friends that used to meet for conventions and also grouping once a week.
Even before the politics of Trump vs Hillary came into being our group went there separate ways and didn't meet as often however we still stayed in close contact (Facebook) mainly.

I noticed the shift when I saw the hatred come out and there was no more talking about anything political. Then along with the jokes was the seriousness in which they portrayed these "jokes". Then it polarized to "If you voted for Trump, unfriend me now"
It all fell apart and I was heartbroken.
All those years of closeness with the ones I used to have so much fun with just went up in smoke.
Intolerance to different views is very saddening.
I don't believe it should have to be that way but that's just me in my opinion.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
I’ve been reclusive since about 2010.

9/11 woke me. And I began losing friends slowly thereafter. Not because of me trying to lecture to any of them..I never did that. Most everyone doesn’t even know my thoughts/beliefs. It was just me not making contact. When I realized that others weren’t making contact with me, I decided to forget them.

Most people are parasites. I hated to entertain it that way but it’s true. My life has been so much better since. I’ve been reading, creating, learning, working out, shooting and bettering myself in every way.

I can’t imagine going back to pointless conversations and bickering. When I want pussy, I call for it. Sometimes I get it, other times I get the run around. When that happens, i fap. But later in the week, they end up calling at some point and I make it work.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
Honestly dude, you are better off finding like minded friends. What is coming will require you to have allies that believe as you do. You will want people who see the world in the same light as you do and have similar ethics.

Shit is coming man. Harder shit than we have ever seen. This is just the start of it.

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
I was about the only Libertarian/Republican in a group of of about 8 to 10 friends that went out every Saturday night for dinner and also for drinks during the week.

During the Obama years, we talked politics and current events with never an issue or argument.

During the 2016 debates between Hillary and Donald Trump, we each hosted a debate party had lots of fun eating, drinking and laughing.

The night of the election, I decided to have a separate party alone (invited some of the guys who worked on my house instead as a celebration for finishing a project). I did not want to be around my friends celebrating, thinking Donald Trump would truly win. That would have been a buzz kill to see them crying, which actually happened, so I have good instincts.

After Donald Trump won, two months later, one of the friends snapped at me in front of everyone, calling me a dumb educated bum fuck for voting for Donald Trump. Keep in mind, he was a college professor, so of course he thinks he is so much smarter and wiser. He makes about 1/4th of what I make annually, up to his ass in debt (not college debt, but Amazon purchase debt) and yet I have more degrees and certifications, owe nothing, but I digress.

After that, the group fell apart, it was just me and 2 others (that tolerated the political discussions, somewhat in the same way in the past).

Well, that all ended this week. We were supposed to take one of the friends to dinner for his birthday and he basically said, it's supposed to rain, so let's just cancel. No need to rebook, let's just wait til next year.

The other one got mad when I sent her the pic of the cop punching the Antifa guy in the face when he touched the cops rifle. She was up set that I called guy Antifa (dressed in a black hoodie).

Well, That's it for me. I cannot go out with friends that have seemingly different values now and whereby I have to be careful in what I bring up in conversation.

Liberals always preach tolerance yet they are typically the most intolerant people you will meet. If you dare not participate in the Liberal groupthink you are ostracized and worse yet, they will be vindictive and try to make trouble for you.

I've learned to recognize some red flags:

- Hillary supporters
- iPhone users
- Pink clothing on men
- Hand face or neck tattoos
- Hair dyed weird colors
- Black framed glasses With the narrow frames.
- Any virtue signalling BS on Facebook, Instagram, etc.
- Work in medical, education, or poli sci, or sociology

Re: Lost my last bit of close liberal friends during the RIOTS and Corona HOAX
Yep! Lost almost all of my 10 + closest friends of 40 yrs over the last few years. They’re all libs. I’m not. It’s a blessing really because it’s very sad to see what they’ve become. Shake it off. Make new friends that share your values. Or don’t. It’s a loss but it fades. I’m sorry though. I really am.
 Quoting: Fossy


Do you find they are really materialist, status quo as well?

Watch lots of TV, live in some bland suburban house wiht the marble counter-tops and spend their weekends at Home Depot or Costco?

That's been my experience.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78975610


Well, it’s like this. During the Reagan years we were all on the same conservative page. Clinton came along and still on the same page. I then moved to Texas. Obama and Fakebook and Twitter came along we started to fracture. I was like “ when did you become pro choice?” During the run up to the Trump election my best friend bought a pussy hat. I said to them all the last time we were all together at a funeral. “It’s like I don’t even know you anymore, y’all have changed, I haven’t. “ They laughed at me and chided me for saying “y’all”
That was 4 yrs ago I haven’t spoken to them since but I see what they post when I care to go look.

And yes, it’s cnn and msm all the way. It broke my heart, we’re in our 50’s now but we had been as close as you can be since we were all 14 or 15. I cried about it here for a while at the time but “the :D comedian” helped me through it. I miss him. Anyway you will get over it. But I’m very sorry for your loss hf
