When it does I am armed up and fully prepared to do whatever it takes to enforce the constitution and the Civil Rights Act.

Only then did I see fear in her eyes. Only then did she realize how badly she screwed up. I haven't seen her since. I talk to her son, my best friend, every day.
|

I feel badly he's in the middle. I didn't like disrespecting his mother in front of him, but if you discriminate against my son in public? Yeah, fuck you. It's on.

I knew someone who would view anyone as a bad person for life if they remotely leaned conservative

I don't know if this is good or bad, but I strongly suspect that a good deal of people don't tdo this to me because I'm black. So it is kind of black priveledge. Although I consider myself more of a libertarian/classical liberal and a full conservative.

Unfortunately, it was with some of my closest family. Long story short, I didn't like that masks were being reintroduced at work despite vaccination status so I protested. Most everyone in my close family support unit was understanding...save for 2 that I lived closest to. I could see in their body language that as I was telling them what I told the others that they weren't listening anymore; they were waiting to reply. When they did, they admonished me for "throwing a tantrum" and having a small closed off world view because of how I think I'm smarter than the scientists.

When all was said and done, I cut them out of my life for a whole month. They tried bribing me multiple times with good food and going out, but 1) They were asking at the worst possible times and 2) I couldn't just rub off the fact that 2 of the people I've looked up to as a child growing up just belittled me for sticking up to my principles in a fair and civil manner.

They have since apologized and we have made amends, but the scars still remain. What's more, with the way things may be looking, I fear history my repeat itself on a much larger scale. I want to say I am prepared, but nothing can really prepare you when you're facing a divided family, or worse.

My liberal brother called republicans the party of hate, says that the Twitter files are a whole lot of nothing because they are fighting against hate, and says that all the trans stuff is really just the republicans picking on a marginalized group because it is an election year.

I really want to have the intellectual discussions we used to have when we were younger and when I looked up to him (he’s considerably older than me), but it is impossible when he is so dogmatic.
|
walkaway

I once asked what that says about me if he feels so strongly about these things I agree with (or at least can articulate and “steel-man” without assuming the worst). The level of mental gymnastics to not outright say that I am an awful person for holding these awful views was impressive, but it resulted in him telling me how I have been brainwashed which I found more condescending and shitty than just saying I’m a bad person (lol)

Yup, only with just about every student in the one sociology class I’ve taken though. outside of that classroom I haven’t really experienced it, definitely over social media but not to my face

I once worked with several anti-Trumpers/libs. I used to just sit back and enjoy Trump living rent-free in their head. Don't get me wrong I think Biden sucks, but there whole world revolves around Trump and it's hilarious tbh. Not to mention these were your typical fat, entitled libs.

Yes. Sadly, with my son and daughter. Have totally reconciled with my son and tried with my daughter but failed. Then there was my sister in law. My hubby took care of that situation.

Quick Old school moment

I worked at a repair shop, in the lobby the only background radio station we could get happened to be talk radio.

This woman comes in to ask a question, I answered her and as she was about to leave I said "Keep us in mind if you need service in the future"

This was during Rush's Show (told you it was old school)
|

She said (in the most Leftist KAREN tone possible)

"Oh, I would never do business with someone who plays THAT in their lobby!"

I was at a shop with some folk, when i bumped into a friend of mine (m), who was hanging out with a friend of his (f). Somehow the convo turned towards the truckers protest in Ottawa, and out of my friends friends mouth comes out “clownvoy” with a strange chuckle along with it, but no one else did anything but look at her with the wtf look.. she thought she was in the majority group but quickly figured out that she was the only one there who didn’t have a positive outlook on the peaceful protest in Ottawa until the horses came out and trampled on the protestors…

A friend’s wife started talking DEI talking points. I spoke to him privately about it. I don’t know if he talked to her or not but it hasn’t been a problem since.
|
walkaway

Though he did tell me she’s been coming away from the far far left shit, so it may be she just got the buyers remorse on her own seeing how insane it’s getting. Better late than never.

No I haven't. If I did I wouldn't care. 99.9% of the reddit warriors don't have the balls to confront anyone. If the did and picked the wrong one they would find out that getting punched in the face hurts. . ..

Made the mistake of mentioning I supported Trump during an online choir rehearsal during covid… didn’t go over well lol.
|
walkaway

Of course. Sadly, I see folks simply shying away from normal conversations becasue of the Karens, fascists, & those whose lives are so repugnant that they have to create a drama becasue you don't agree with their fascist fanatical leftist religion of fear & hate.

Not my political affiliation but it's happened at my old job when someone found out that I'm a Christian.

Someone at work asked me what I was listening to, and I said Rush, as in, the band. I am now known as a nut who listens to reruns of Rush Limbaugh. Nothing against the guy, may he rest in peace, but I have never listened to his show.
|
walkaway

Too many to count honestly. By the end of my first (and only) year of college I learned to just not touch certain topics and leave the conversation if they did come up because unfortunately in that circle of people you couldn't so much as say "I think Trump did a decent job as president," or "Maybe it's wrong to kill a baby at 7 months gestation," without being called a radical right wing conspiracy theorist or misogynist.
|
walkaway
|
And yeah, I know that's what I signed up for by going to a liberal arts college but wow is it depressing to know that these are the people who are supposed to be "educated."
|
walkaway

Oh yes. I generally keep politics out of conversation, but I once had someone infer that I’m a Republican because I was in the military (I’m not affiliated with a party) and asked me why I hated poor people. I tried to explain that I grew up poor and was a classic example of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” (joined the military, got out, went to college and kept my nose clean, now living somewhat comfortably middle class) and responsibility for my hard work got shifted to me being white.🙄

At that point I disengaged. I figured that since my story had nothing to do with race, this person wasn’t interested in having a good faith discussion, so there wasn’t any point in continuing.

My friend since childhood unfriended me. I would send her a text each month saying, "I hope you're well. Sge passed away two months ago.

Surprisingly not. Most of the far left people I meet in real life are very friendly. Goes to show these people would never act that was in real life, because they're cowards.

For the second one I wouldve had fun with it and replied with something like "at gunpoint when my bitches don't be listening to their pimp"

Did trump personally harm her? If not, Zeitgeist NPC?
|

I would say that sounds made up, but sadly I have seen time and again that reality is stranger than fiction and these people are outpacing the stereotypes

Well said!

Sharing your true feelings on Reddit is the hardest, especially in radical subs that will ban people with no forewarning or excuse.
|

I try to give the average person the benefit of the doubt. For the longest time, we didn’t need to think about these big picture things and could focus on local issues and could outsource the critical thinking to media (it was far from perfect, but it didn’t impact our day-to-day and was “good enough”).
|
walkaway
|
But now, you can’t implicitly trust anything you read/hear and need to do your due diligence to stay informed. Most people don’t have time and/or don’t make time for that (some not realizing this paradigm shift and the need to do their own homework).
|
walkaway

Long story short, I think ignorant and uninformed is more apt than dumb, but I am being proven wrong time and again so I may need to reconsider - since I think everyone should have had their “red-pill” moment by now lol

That 1,2,3 is very succinct. Did you come up with that on your own?

If someone tells you that they have booby traps in their yard…run!

Sounds like Russell Tillis, convicted murderer. Just saw him on an "Evil Lives Here" episode. He had booby traps in his back yard. He killed at least 1 woman that they know for sure, chopped her body up, and buried the parts in several holes in his yard.
|

For sure. I was just called out by friends for reading a “controversial book” - they saw it sitting on my desk and were like, “isn’t this like a weird Republican book?” and I just said no, it’s just a classic novel. They said it with such “we’re watching you” vibes. Like whatever dude

I lost several friends over this as well. Major red pill moment. The only difference between us?

I watched the trial. They listened to headlines.
|
walkaway
|
No one who watched the trial believes he's guilty. No one. Not even the assailants. You can see the guilt in their faces on the stand. They admit it. Live. Kyle would be dead if he hadn't fought back, and his assailants confirmed it.
|

We're the bigots and racists though, right?

I 100% agree with this, even though I work in an industry that is largely “non liberal”.

Reminds of the Dave Chappelle skit. About white people and politics. Dave asking me about who I voted for that shits to personal, now as I was saying I was fucking my wife.
|
walkaway

I agree, but I think this has turned into a belief held more by conservatives. I feel like when I say this, it is a slight admission of being conservative/not left because in my experience leftists just spew their crap upon meeting you.

Have you shown them where Hunter *admits* it was his? Like Christ, Dems pretty much admitted what was on it was true by turning it into "Well, Hunter isn't the President so it doesn't matter."

You've seen them for who they really are. What you consider principles they consider disposable tribal virtue-signaling.

As I kid I wondered how fascist, communist, or national socialist regimes rose to power. Now I know exactly how.

It's unfortunate that politics divides us all, especially families. I do wonder if people in the media on both sides truly believe what they are saying or if they're just "doing their jobs" and collecting a paycheck, same as everyone else.
|
walkaway

It’s hard to get through to people especially family when you try to explain to them that nothing really matters except for what’s in front of you and your life. All this news and philosophy is useless unless it’s applied like real philosophy such as Taoism, most religion- philosophers like Plato, etc. they get all worked up over nothing

Well it's profitable, so investment is worth it. Typically money is routed through foundations with positive names. The corporation gets a tax write-off and the investment ensures the illusion of public support for policies enacted by politicians they pay off, etc.
|
walkaway

And during Covid era, they also had the money from the WHO/World Bank pandemic bonds which for the most part were junk bonds looted from our 401ks. (A fascinating bit of corruption, where they got their death count just 3 weeks before the bonds were set to return to investors(us.) So if you ever wondered why they put sick people as young as 20 into nursing homes and initially (mis)attributed deaths to Covid within 60(!) days of a positive exaggerated test -- now you know.)

Yeah, he was a paranoid little guy. Thought highly of his liberal city, but at the same time felt the need to be super protected.
|
walkaway

Well in that article it says he was charged in Florida if I'm not mistaken, and the OP says he guy thought very good of his liberal city, so adding things up, Florida ain't a Liberal city, so I doubt its him

I *still* have coworkers who say that Kyle murdered three black dudes for no reason. That he had a machine gun he brought from home.

Yeah... none of those men were black. It wasn't a machine gun. It wasn't brought from home.

But no matter how many times i try to correct them, they call me a racist murderer sympathizer.

Yes! It is so strange to me how they’ll just lay their cards on the table and assume you agree with their deluded (mis)understanding of reality.
|
walkaway
|
It’s honestly so gauche— pun intended— how they make assumptions that you’re onboard with their insanity and then practically force you to “out” yourself if you want to maintain some kind of integrity instead of letting them carry on unchallenged as they do since they inhabit echo chambers.
