I have a lifelong friend who is in the cult. We were speaking pretty regularly until 3 weeks ago. When they started ripping the country apart I quit calling him because I’m pissed. And he hasn’t called me either. I don’t know what to do. We’ve been friends for 40 years. - ThreadSky

same. A friend of mine, someone I've known since about 1977, sent me a cult video about how much *good* T has done for the LGBT community. this was a few days after my wedding (which he didn't bother to attend live or virtually) and the day after xmas. There was no mistaking his intent :(

I’ve lost a 50 year friend, and am OK with it. You will survive it, you have other friends. I love my country too much to be friends with this person any longer.

I cut off everyone, family and friends, during trump’s first crime spree and am so much more less inclined to allow them back in now. Just remember, those people will cheer wildly when we are placed in camps or shot in a firing line.

I have a cousin who's deep into Trump. They discount my education, hard work, etc But it shows me how childish they are.

They suffer from GroupThink working with all Trumpers. Angry over their labor 4little pay. Now I have a good view of how much thinking they actually do for themselves 0

Guess you were never really friends.

I lost my mom, it’s like she died and whoever this possessed person is no longer allows her any peace, she rages about democrats constantly. Mental Health professionals would call a “cult mentality” disorder, or some other personality disorder. Sad (not Social Anxiety Disorder) just sad.

I get that - I've had a couple friends like that - some family as well - most i don't talk to - 1 we've tried to stay in contact - he did contact me bout getting together for lunch- something we use to try do once every couple months - I jus can't do it this time - very hard

They shouldn’t want to either they should feel shame.

Same here. Someone I have known since junior high - an honor attendant at my wedding last year, started spouting MAGA nonsense while we were on a camping trip with them. I haven't spoken to them since, and not sure I want to.

The person you knew is gone. There's no recovering them.

He has barely worked since he left the military in the mid 80s. And hasn’t in a long while. His wife is disabled they receive SNAP benefits and rent assistance. They are about to find out quickly. They both sit around and get brainwashed on YouTube all day.

Kick the MAGAturd to the curb.
You are no longer friends, and this is what he always was.
You are better off without his carcinogenic toxicity.

If he can't or won't have the HARD conversations then he isn't a friend. Sometimes relationships end. And it's okay to hurt and be angry. It's okay to not know what to do. Process it. Learn from it. ❤️

You mourn the friendship. The person you knew and loved as a friend doesn't exist anymore. They're gone.
