I had one friend left...We don't talk much but I think of him often....
He called today. Out of the blue as they say & I was very happy to hear from him & catch up.....I'm fairly private & I just have not made any true friends since I moved years ago.
And you probably can guess the rest. He asked if I was still a Democrat. I saw where it was headed but the crash came anyway.
I know the problem. He's been saturated by Faux I'm sure-and RW radio as he's a work outdoor all day kinda guy. And he really has no clue -he is a very nice guy who would feed you very well or help you move.
I've known him since High School & we were best friends for 30+ years. I had my life he had his-but I always hoped he would visit & we could reminisce over a nice doobie.
Now He's gone to the fodder of the masses.
Hung up on me while I tried explaining he was a actor-and would promise any damn thing he thought you wanted to hear. And I'm not going to try as why-the brainwashing is pretty much a nail in the coffin of any future between us.
And I ****ing hate this damn us vs. them crap they have foisted on us. News should be factual and that is all. Period full stop and the Fairness doctrine would be a necessary step if we ever make it forward after this crisis.
Goodbye Mugs-I already missed you.

Yeah, it is.
I was still young when I first noticed the phenomenon, after Reagan beat Carter in 1980.
Before then, politics had been pretty incidental to friendships and other associations; it wasn't a big deal.
But after November 1980, it became a big deal.....and they started it.

Didn't some sort of irony alarm go off when this Dummie was typing this????
Arrogant and stupid is a dangerous combination. As the OP said, this one will die alone and unloved. And deservedly so.

I've probably been on FB for 10 years, now. I have never "UnFriended" anyone - don't know how, though I'm sure it's quite easy. I've been "UnFriended" four times, now (that I know of), all due to politics. And I post about politics very seldom, mostly about family and trail or road races I'm doing.
OK, I do not care whether "Boxerfan" (The sport? The dog breed? The former check-bouncer CA Rep & Senator?) is 22 or 72, if you move to a new community, part of that process is making new friends - work, school, church, community orgs, whatever. I did it when I moved from Central California to Phoenix, AZ, and I did it again when I moved from the Phoenix area to Silicon Valley. So BTDTGTTS, two of them. So what is up with "Boxerfan" self-sabotaging her life this way?

These are the same DUmmies who lecture us on how all people, no matter if they are black, white, yellow, straight, gay, legal or illegal citizens are still people who deserve love and respect, but when it comes to political leanings, if you don't tow the total democrat line, you are not worth them giving you the time of day. What a bunch of sad hypocrites.

While she claims the guy hung up on her, I suspect it was after a long and possibly heated tirade on her part. Sounds like the guy has a career in construction or farming, rather (pardon the unintended puns) down to earth career fields. I wonder what she does (rereading her post, it sounds like she's in her 40s).

Maybe you should have tried just saying "Yeah, I'm still a Democrat, but let's not talk politics, I've really missed you all these years, buddy. Let's get together real soon and talk old times without any of that political crap." But YOU'RE A GODDAM MORON WHO HAD TO MAKE IT ALL ABOUT YOUR STUPID POLITICS and so you couldn't just do that.
You deserve your misery, asshole.
-
Because that's the very first thing I do when I start talking to someone I haven't spoken to in years: ask their political affiliation. :mental:
"Hi, Dave! Great to talk to you! I haven't seen you since college. Hey, are you still a Democrat? Because, you know, that will determine whether we can still be friends."
Sheesh. I think I know why boxofrocks doesn't have any friends....
-
....and they started it.
Oh yes, they did.

The left and DUchebags in particular, are bereft of introspection.

Sucks to be you, dummie. If everyone dislikes you, chances are the problem is you. I have no sympathy for you. Zero. Nada. Zip. Zilch. None. Get the picture? You are a miserable liberal asswipe that deserves everything you get in life.
I hope you die lonely and miserable. Serve you right. :loser:

Seems to me that "Mugs" just dodged a bullet.
Seems he didn't feel the need to be kooksplained by the DUmmie....

"I had one friend left.."
Big freaking surprise! Now you've lost him too because of what a miserable, politics- obsessed tool you are!
My best friend is/ was a liberal Democrat (Though not too cuckoo about it; He referred to himself as a "JFK Democrat"). We've had our disagreements over politics at times in the past, but we both value our friendship enough that neither of us ever even remotely considered ending it over something as stupid and petty as a difference in political opinions. Then again, stupid and petty are the defining character traits of most DUmmies, so this article makes sense.
My buddy is more conservative now (He's a Messianic Jew, immensely proud of his heritage, and seeing the way that so many Democrats side with Muslims over Jews so often and so idiotically in recent years was a big part of it), and we rarely if ever have the need to talk about politics anymore, so it's all good.
" I had my life he had his-but I always hoped he would visit & we could reminisce over a nice doobie."
It always, always comes back to dope for the DUmmies. They can't live without it.
"Hung up on me while I tried explaining he was a actor-and would promise any damn thing he thought you wanted to hear."
Big surprise. Most guys don't like to be self- righteously lectured about politics over the phone when they were hoping for a nice civil conversation.
"And I ****ing hate this damn us vs. them crap they have foisted on us."
Obama's blatantly foisted "Us vs. them" divisions among Americans throughout his entire Administration, constantly looking for new ways to turn American citizens against each other along petty differences.
"Period full stop and the Fairness doctrine would be a necessary step if we ever make it forward after this crisis."
Fairness Doctrine, aka a law to silence any whose views disagree with yours. And, if they got their way, once they put all conservative political media outlets out of business through it, they'd next set their sights on the Christian radio stations. They'd have all Christian radio stations be required by law to devote equal time to singing the praises of Islam, Buddhism, Satanism, etc., or else be shut down.

Maybe former friend grew up and gave up that @#$%.
This tells me exactly how much value Boxerfan's judgment has. That's not an expression of respect.

My best friend on the entire planet is a democrat and I am pretty sure most times he doesn't even know why, he is a straight ticket democrat because his dad always was (big union types).
We decided a long time ago that politics was a taboo subject for us, we don't discuss it at all. We get after each other on every other topic when we get together jackassing around, but no politics.
Unfortunately, we live about 150 miles apart now and rarely see one another. We talk on the phone 5-6 times/year and when I go visit the parents, we'll go have a few beers or spend a day out shooting in the back 40.
After the election, I called his answering machine when I knew he was gone to work and all I said was "WIIIIIIIN!!!!!" and hung up.
About a week later I got a big 8x11" legal manila envelope in the mail from him. Inside, was nothing but a full page computer printed picture of him mooning me and flipping me off backwards with both hands... his wife (shes awesome too) took the picture for him.
We've talked since then and not a word has been spoken about it. He's a great guy and we bust each others balls constantly when we get together... something actual adults know how to do and still stay friends. And I'll guarantee that's that only time the 2016 election will ever be addressed between us.

That is because decent and civilized people can overlook the differences between them... they can actually make fun of each other... and still understand that there is more in common than there is difference.
Dummies whole world is their way or the highway. Typical for that side of the political spectrum.
