Prior to DJT being in power, it was all business as usual. Those of us who were aware of the evil and corruption just took it day by day, not knowing how a change would ever occur. When 45 stepped in and gave us a new hope, MSM went ballistic, and ended up poisoning as many wells as possible. My marriage is nearly dead, my relationship with my son - who was indoctrinated at university has deteriorated, and my leftist sisters don’t communicate with me anymore. This has been an excruciating past few years. I’m running out of steam, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Prior to 2016 I was very good friends with some moderately left friends in college. We all got along because politics was not important before 2016, nobody talked about it, it wasn't in our sights, we just focused on school work and had fun watching movies and shows, playing games and such, we were a very tight knit group. I wasn't the only conservative, there was one other, and maybe 2 decently moderate others, so it was a good mix.
Then 2016 came along. Beginning of the year was fine. We weren't worried about the election, we were focused on end-of-year stuff and finals. Even I wasn't worried about Clinton, though I had a horrible feeling she'd become the next president, but I had no idea what to say or do about it, so I just didn't say anything. Then September and October rolled around, and I could feel a strange tension forming in the backs of everybody's minds. Everyone was tense and nobody was happy, conservatives and lefties alike.
I continued to keep my mouth shut, knowing I wanted to vote for Trump, but my moderately lefty friends had flown completely into the ultra-left woke-sphere and they never came back. One "came out" as bisexual, though now she is full-on dyke lesbian, complete with butch haircut, ugly flannel shirts, and an absolute whale for a "wife." Another "came out" as asexual, though I have no idea if that's entirely true, it seemed he just said that for clout, but he is radical BLM now. Another girl is all-in on the vaccine lies and has received hers, no idea how's she's doing though.
And the most crazy girl of all, let's call her Katie. Katie was a hard-core Trump hater before the 2016 election, and would frequently mention it. She was so excited for a female president and she knew none of the crimes of Clinton or she didn't care. Day after election and Trump is declared victor she is quiet and reserved and constantly jittery all day. She, I, and 2 other friends returned to their apartment to study and also discuss the days events. I, my conservative friend, and another moderate friend (at the time, she's pretty hard democrat now), sat down at the table and talked quietly and civilly about the election. I didn't want to fully "out" myself as very conservative so I said things like "It was a hard choice either way, they're both not very good candidates" though I didn't believe that. We kept talking and Katie FLEW out of her room and stomped up to us and screamed "Stop talking about Trump! He's going to ruin this country! He's going to kill us all! He's a racist! He's--" blah blah blah. We all stared dumbfounded at her and said, "Katie, we were quietly discussing the election, not just Trump, we're allowed to talk about it, it's an important issue, and we're being quiet and civil. If it's bothering you, put on your headphones and go study." She was in tears and stomping her feet and losing her mind, but eventually she slammed back into her room and called her conservative dad to complain to him. I don't know why she called him, maybe pick someone who actually gives a sh*t about your opinion, but whatever.
And now this girl, Katie, has completely blocked me out of her life. I tried sending her a few small redpilling things, asking her what she thinks about Biden's EO raising the prices of insulin, or his hypocrisy about signing so many EOs when he said that doing that is akin to a dictatorship. She never answered my questions but instead prattled on about how white people are so racist, so privileged, etc. I reminded her that SHE is white, like super white, with red hair and fair skin that turns lobster red for moments in the sun. She didn't like that, to be reminded that she's white after she said that all white people are racist, which would include her, and she blocked me. After I had promised to never block her again, she does just that to me. Hypocrites is all they are.
This is a long rant, but the point is that I've lost basically all but 1 of my old college friends, the conservative one. I'm trying to build some knew friendships with some nice guys at church but it's hard to stay positive when you're so alone.
Yep, even while at a conservative Catholic university I felt I still had to hide my beliefs and political opinions. One very strong reason was because in Sophomore year I was yelled at by one of my professors, aptly named Dr. Black (a white man complete with man-bun) for trying to gently correct him on the false stats he brought forth on police "targeting" black people specifically. I said "No, that's not right, it's actually almost exclusively white people, but the news just focuses on the black shootings" etc. He went BALLISTIC and yelled and screamed at me in front of the whole class. By the end of his tirade I was so humiliated and scared that I didn't speak for the rest of class. I quickly left, was consoled by another student who said she had gone through the same thing with him in his office, walked back to my dorm and cried. (I'm a girl, give me some slack). I had never been so badly treated by anyone in my life, and by a teacher no less, who is supposed to TEACH me, not berate and belittle me.
Some other students told me to tell the Administration, but I never did. I had no heart for confrontations and just wanted to forget the whole thing. Looking back I wish I had done something, because he is STILL teaching there, and I'm disgusted beyond belief.
I think we've all had instances in our lives where we look back and regret not speaking up about it or doing something about it, so don't feel bad about it now! You are young and you at least had the courage to speak out in the class about the lies! You probably put a little spark into other students who were there, so you probably had a significant impact on people there! Congrats to you, keep up the good thoughts, and be strong for the future!
Thanks for sharing. It is difficult to stay positive. I recently lost my two oldest friends because of this. People say, “Suck it up. Stand firm.” But I’ve lost everyone close to me. The cabal had a plan to divide us, and it has been very effective.
Thanks for reading it, it was way too long, sorry about that. But I always tell this story to actual sane people and when they hear how she reacted they're like "yeah she's crazy, you should be glad to be rid of her." In some ways I am, but in other ways I still wanted to talk to her to get her to open up her mind. I told her that if she doesn't try to see the other side of the argument then she is closed minded, and boy she didn't like that. She sees herself as the most open minded, love for all type person, with the alphabet crowd and BLM especially, and so hearing me tell her that just made her go crazy. I'm going to wait a little while longer, get some more info and facts on my side, then try to go after her again. I still have her cell number so if she wants to shut me out completely she'll have to block me there too. I'm just biding my time for the perfect moment when Biden does something so stupid that it finally affects HER personally, then I'll strike.
I'm sorry :( But keep trying to stay positive! This has been so hard on so many of us. I hope you find new friends at church!
I will, thank you! And yes, I've reconnected with a former acquaintance from college at my local church so we at least have a relationship that goes back a ways.
