I severed a 30 year friendship with a guy last night who was mocking me about Q and Trump.
😷 SUDDENLY 💉
We were drinking and hanging out like we have been doing for the last 25 years together. Hes a conservative that listens to Matt Walsh and hangs on his every word. My friend attacked me and said Qanon is bad for America and blah blah blah. Trumps not coming back. Nothing Qanon has said has ever come true. Mike lindell pillow guy. He went on and on. I blew up and screamed at him. It was pure raw emotion that was built up. Im usually very quiet and have never done that to anyone. I kicked him out of my house and told him to never come back. Im sick of these people that think they know something and mock us. Waking up this morning, i feel very relieved.
Everyone has a right to their opinion, it doesn’t mean you are right and they are wrong and vice versa. You just listen and don’t argue. You are in THEIR home as a guest. Sad that you lost a friendship over this, but obviously you felt you did the right thing based on your relief. Subconsciously, it probably was a long time coming. God bless, my friend.
^ This. I've had the same interactions with a regular group of "friends". We met every month for 13 years, usually at my place. I was the only vocal conservative, with one other closet conservative and 4 raging libs. They always came at me in my home but I let it go...because "friends". Their tone and attacks changed during covid and after the election and I finally snapped. It was almost like grieving over a lost loved one at first but clarity won the day and not having those negative and sheepish people in my life has been a tremendous relief. Just took me some time to realize it.
I believe yours was brewing, even with another conservative who chose to attack you for some reason. I think being truly awake and aware made this the final straw and your mind just took over. It will be okay.
Same. Hearing my 20-year “friends” snicker at folks who died in hospitals because they chose not to get that clot shot was too much. I can put up with a lot, but being flippant about death is grotesque.
Ya, your right. I dont need it anymore.
Ya, I feel it was subconscious. I feel so light today.
