It is difficult for me to make friends. In general, my friends have come from my place of work or from my lady introducing me to people.
I make the effort when I’m out. I just don’t like people enough to be out and about.
I’ve been watching the pain that Ally has been going through as she has realized that she is now right of center.
It hurts her.
People on the left lives in such a self – created bubble that anything that threatens that bubble is unacceptable.
One of our acquaintances is full on TDS. At a recent event, they were going on and on about how horrible Trump is. But, they stepped way over the line when they attacked anybody who voted for him or supports him. They announced, proudly, that people who voted for, or support Trump will not be accepted around her.
The fear that exists and the need to not offend means that nobody who disagreed with her spoke up. This was a friendly gathering. To take up arms (or words) against her would have been unacceptable. Those that don’t have TDS just grit their teeth and stay silent.
The other day I was talking about an event in congress where a representative intentionally “misgendered” a trans person.
For me, it was a big middle finger to the “Trans Agenda”.
I took joy in that gesture. For Ally, my glee was hurtful to her. She still runs on emotion with a strong backdrop of facts and reasoning.
She was also hurting because this representative had an R after her name. She would rather not support somebody who she thought was being hurtful to somebody. She felt she was being forced to support this representative because she now was a conservative.
No, she didn’t have to support that person. This isn’t the left.
The jackals out there are eating their own. Everyone who doesn’t agree with them is evil. Everyone who isn’t in lockstep with them is a fascist. Everyone who isn’t attacking Elon and Trump must be a NAZI.
In a short skit I watched the other day, the person says they are leaving the Democrat party. They say how they are still the same person, but that the Democrat party no longer represents them. That they will still be friends with their former friends. That this doesn’t change anything between them, that they had been friends since kindergarten, they will be friends long into the future.
The “democrat” responds with, “The last time I looked, I’m not friends with Nazi’s”.

It’s a difficult mind-set to break. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen some conservative do something horrid, and said, “How can you support that?” The answer back was always, “I don’t support that. That guy’s a douche canoe.” But… but… but the douche canoe is a Republican, and you are a Republican, so you have to support them.
That’s how it works on the Left. Hold your nose if you must, but support everyone on the Left. I began to run into trouble when I stopped supporting everyone and called some people out on their bad behavior. I got shunned.
When I called out the guy who put out a bill to make porn illegal down south, every conservative I knew just laughed and said that would never fly, and they don’t support it. No one on here got upset with me for disliking the gender slur on McBride (disagree, yes; upset, no). It’s okay for me to point and say, “I am not with that person; they do not represent me.” I can still be under the Red Tent… and so can the other person.
About the only thing I would have issues with is if someone was caught kiddie diddling. That’s a shooting offense. I heard Trump is putting the death penalty on the table for convicted kiddie diddlers. I couldn’t agree more. I find one under the tent and I’ll out it, dox it, and see that it never shows its face in the light of day again.
the “need to not offend”…just grit yer teeth and take it??? nope, you get more of what you put up with….other people feel they have the right to offend YOU. and you are supposed to suck it up?? remind them about thier favorite word- equality. left has a right to offend/hurt anyone they don’t agree with then right has the right too. I personally don’t give a rats ass if I offend a liberal. I have a simple answer- leave me alone. it We the Peoples time to shine.
