I've lost no one to Covid, but at least 3 close friends of 30+ years because of my anti-vax stance and my support of Trump. Fortunately my family and in-laws are all staunch conservatives that share my views, so I am fortunate to not have any family schisms.
Who have you lost over this stupid war of disinformation?
Dad and I are the only holdouts in the family. Everyone else is fully bought in. Half are over all the stuff and know something is wrong, but refuse to take further steps to think.
Even though we are now half a country away, I can imagine my dad and I would not have been invited to Thanksgiving due to our status. And the fact that my dad and his sister would be at each other’s throats.
Friendwise, I have one friend who hasn’t gotten any shots. The rest have, and are deep under. It’s caused most to stop talking to me. I have a few gaming contacts, but that is also due to me deftly avoiding any questions and topics surrounding everything going on. Because no doubt I’d be kicked.
My social circles have all but withered and died, despite my attempts to keep things friendly and have non-serious conversation. Is what it is. I’ve become very introverted the last few years, so I am dealing with it.
