People said to me:
"It's only politics" when hearing I severed decades-long friendships over TFG & Co.
I said to them:
We're talking basic human rights, decency, morals, ethics. Healthcare, food, education, voting. Democracy vs. fascism. F them and F you if you don't see that.

I can accept friends and family having different opinions than I do. I cannot accept friends and family not accepting that I have different opinions than they do.
That applies up and including having them be EX friends and family.
My parents are MAGA, but believe that they are morally correct despite MAGA being full of fascists, they are so tragically unaware of the truth about the cult they have found themselves in, and it makes me want to cry.
I can only imagine and I am sorry you’re experiencing this. I hope you have friends you can lean on and work and/or creative outlets that you can focus on. Feel what you’re feeling then get out there and share your love and talent. 🍀
Hey, I lost my whole family to it, my condolences. I think it is a very unique and painful kind of grief, like they turned into monsters... or maybe always were??
Makes me ill
I'll TRY asking this on our monthly 15-member (plus spouses) Family ZOOM meeting Sunday, even though politics is a totally forbidden topic. I might get banned!
At the end of the day, I can sleep at night knowing I chose to embrace love, speak up for marginalized group, and on the right side of history.
Learning about your blood related family or friends of their political leaning and regurgitating bullshit lies, that was it for me, I won’t tolerate it.
💯. Same here. Don’t care what they choose to believe in, who they follow or their different opinion. But they knowingly choosing to follow and enable the false narrative - resulting in taking human rights away and causing harm to people and environment, we have to draw a hard line. Dead to me. 🤷🏻♂️FAFO
