Loss of friends

It is sad. Sad that you chose such prejudiced, limited friends in the first place. Political differences or even religious differences are no reason to shun a person you value. I guess they didnt value you. Upgrade to better friends.😷

And thank you for Best Comment

Sorry to hear that you lost friends over this.

I know people whose family members have rejected them (parents and children, siblings) and will not have anything to do with them because of their difference of opinion in who they supported in the election. It is sad to think that people let political ideologies divide their family.

i got no clue. if they cut me off because of that, then they werent real friends to begin with. i have friends in both parties and some in third parties. who they vote for is their business. if we have conflicting beliefs, well, thats what America is all about to begin with. the ability to have different viewpoints.

Would you rather lose them before the election?

Many have done just that for me. My stance hasn't changed in decades. I still block no one.

Upgrading friends is nonsense. Especially when it happens over lengths of time.

You'll never know when there's a change of mind. So you'll never have any friends.

BTW Trump was a Democrat once. So was Reagan. Would you have voted for either when they were Democrat's?

No? Why?

People do change.

I have lost a possible girlfriend and a few people on here who have me on their block list due to my political leanings. I try as much as I can to avoid heated political discussions on this site.

No, and I guess it won't happen, since if it was going to, it would have happened while I lived in Quebec and through 2 sovereignty referendums. (Of course, knowing almost 0 sovereigntists helped some).
I have seen this sort of thing happen close to home though. My uncle and his family, who aren't even American, saw a very old friendship w/another family come to an end over politics. What's going on there???

A lot of people supposedly are going through that.

If you look at how tRump is, it is no wonder some people want nothing to do with his supporters.
There is this huge stigma around tRump. Supporting him is similar to being buddies with the bad manager at work.

A vote for tRump is a vote for bigotry, a vote against women's rights, and especially against LGBT rights. Also a vote against immigrants.

That was more of a courtesy than a lot of people give when cutting ties.

Supposedly the reason a lot of people voted for him is because they think he will magically fix the economy. Not likely to happen. I imagine most of his voters didn't see nor hear anything else he had to say.

I have kept this as civil as I can, but I will admit I enjoy it when trump voters find themselves losing friends, being cut out of wills, etc.

Depends who you voted for. There are limits. I’d still be cordial, but no, could never be really friends with someone who for him. Our values would be revealed to be so fundamentally different.

No.

However, I don't discuss politics with people I don't trust.

It's their loss, you will make other friends.

Well, i can guess your party and theirs. Their party is in the habit of cutting off people who don't agree with them yet they claim to be the tolerant ones. I've had a few of those lost "friendships".
If they quite their friendship over who you vote for, they aren't real friends.

Yup .. and consider it a sign of who they really are and how little I truly meant to them. If that's the kind of "friends" they are .. I don't need them around.

I don’t blame them one bit. It’s like knowing someone who decided they were going to support Adolf Hitler. You may feel bad, but I can only imagine how disappointed they must be to have found out who you really are. 😞

I would never, ever get rid of someone over politics. Sadly, many people do not agree.

I’ve lost friends and some family members don’t talk to me anymore

Well, I voted for Trump too...so we can become new friends...lol

Wow that’s messed up! I’ll never understand people like that. 😲

Nah all of my friends are politically aligned. It's not even strange all things considered

Thats sad, I am not really into politics or religion, so I don't have any problems there.

I never talk to my friends so..

iodnt tell people who i vote for

I have no friends, so no.

guess what? they were not friends even though you thought of them as friends the feeling was not mutual.

Did you ask them why they felt the need to go to such lengths?

Your probably better off without them

I wrote off some bigots myself 🤷‍♀

Not really friends then, were they.

They weren't worthy friends then, I have a Dear Friend in northern California I call Brother, him and I clash on politics all the time, but at the end if the day we still have like minded ideals and interests in other areas and still get along very well.

Who'd you vote for?

I block TrumpLovers.
