I have ended a friendship with a MAGA


Me and this guy have been friends for 53 years. The ironic thing is he actually texted me saying "Can we talk? **** Trump, piece of shit". After that text we didn't talk until last night. I was flabbergasted and while walking our dogs with my wife she was also blown away but did say, "i hope this isn't like some sort of click bait"

Well last night was proof he was just trying to get me to click. We talked baseball then OF COURSE got into politics. NO, **** Trump commentary at all, rather complaining about NO Kings, which I told him I went to a protest and that's first amendment stuff. He did seem to back down on that. Then he doubled down on ICE actions against people basically saying, "get them all out". Again, I tried to argue against it. Then he went off on California and he being a HUGE Civil War (and pro South) asshole was called out on states' rights. Again, he stood down. Didn't really agree with me but then the clincher for me was the murder of the two lawmakers in Minnesota.

He recited the same bullshit ghouls like James Wood, Lara Looner and Mike Lee said. And instead of shutting his ****ing mouth and allowing me to actually explain who this guy really he was went off on him being a "Friend of Tampon Tim", i tried to remain sedate but he repeated it a second time. I immediately said, "never call me again and **** you", threw my phone across the basement floor, retrieved it and blocked his number.

The fact this guy believes this shit is a product of whatever "news" he is consuming. But I can't control what he does/does not listen to, but what I can control is my association with morons and idiots.

Oh it gets better, this same night I goto Facebook and see my moron Aunt literally making posts about how No Kings was an "Anti-American" movement. I never responded to her, but made a couple of very aggressive PRO No Kings posts on my own page. Basically, refuting her. If she blocks me for actually believing first amendment right to free assembly and expression is "anti American" then **** her too.

My wife posted some pics from the protest and I responded to that, "freedom and Democracy in action, only Nazis and Fascists would have a problem."

I am done with these people. I can't do this anymore. Peace.

I am starting this thread to see if any others have had similar "I can't take this no mo'" experiences?

kwolf68 has known this "MAGA" for 53 years but suddenly He's beyond the pale because he voted differently than kwolf68 did?

That said, the "MAGA"-dude is probably relieved.

kwolf68 is probably among the very few DU-Denizens who have not self-isolated from family and friends of differing political views.
