We get along pretty well outside of Drumpf. He knows my views and I know his. We don’t let it fuck with our friendship and we respect each other’s views. We do fuck with each other often for laughs. We don’t need to be enemies with others who have different views, that’s not going to help anyone.
Good, I am very glad for you. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be friends, just that I don’t understand how you can be friends with him. Like I said, Trump supporters aren’t known for listening to other people, and if someone won’t listen to me then they can’t claim to respect me, so we’re not friends.
and we respect each other’s views.
I’m sorry to say that I don’t understand how that’s possible. One of you believes that Trump tried a coup and is a traitor to this country and everyone in it, and one of you believes that he’s a patriot who was trying to save the country from the traitors. You both view each other as traitors to your country, only one of you is right, and it’s not the guy who believes you shouldn’t be allowed to vote. How can you respect that?

I’m not the one trying to overthrow our elected government and end our democracy. Trump supporters made themselves my enemies, supporting that. Republicans made themselves my enemies, when they joined forces with fascists and neo-nazis to call for the deaths of my friends and chosen family. I will not tolerate neo-nazism or fascism, and I can hardly be held to account for other people being fans of those things, so here we are.
Different person, but I also have a trump supporter friend. We get along in so many other ways that we separate for about 15 minutes and come back to start bullshitting about other stuff. I’m also working to deradicalize him, but it’s difficult since we don’t see each other often. We’ve been friends since we met each other in middle school, a relationship like that doesn’t just end.

My experience is they so adamantly refuse to listen to anyone about anything there’s no point in trying to talk to them about anything at all.
Good luck saving your friend. It’s good to know there are still some people who might be brought back from the precipice, even if I have yet to meet them.
Lol. Why? What makes it sound that way? It actually is real, btw. I have no reason to make it up. My across the street neighbor (who is a very good friend, too) is actually a massive Trump supporter. It’s ok to be friends with others who have different political views, I promise. Don’t be bitter

You’ve now, twice, even after me explicitly telling you that it’s not what I said nor meant, completely fabricated a belief of mine … While trying to prove you’re not fabricating this event.
You’ve got no reason to lie about what I’ve said
…but here we are.
Its a total a caricature of a pigheaded trump supporter in a story of a complete devoid of any actual details.
It reads like fanfict. Like a story from trump about how someone just conveniently told him all of this bad stuff about his opponent when they thought they were about to die.
Why are you friends with this person? How do you not just find him impossible to even be around?

Ah, see, there’s your how:
My experience is they so adamantly refuse to listen to anyone about anything there’s no point in trying to talk to them about anything at all.
Good luck saving your friend. It’s good to know there are still some people who might be brought back from the precipice, even if I have yet to meet them.
Easy, they just need to be an imaginary friend.
Oh damn, so we can’t be friends with people who have different political views? Are you ok?
That’s not what I was implying at all. I was implying that this person is likely made up, or maybe this interaction was just totally made up.

What else do you mean by assuming that I made it up?

Funny because you responded to me first, I wasn’t even talking to you.
Bro, wtf, I’m the op??? Are you drunk? 😂
