I was visiting a friend- the trial was very big in the news. On Reddit, someone linked to a chat group of lawyers talking about the evidence presented in the case.
The details were factual and discussed non-emotionally. It was so obvious that it was a setup against Zimmerman.
I mentioned this to my friend- she came out lambasting me because "of course I was falling for the conservative bias". It was pure vitriol, exacerbated by the amount of whiskey we'd consumed. She wasn't even interested in this other insight.
Of course, I couldn't find the link again so she could read on her own and be informed.
Our friendship was never the same, although I did try for a while. We've drifted apart because I finally asked myself why I was even trying...?
Here is me lamenting about lost friendships- so many 'friends' - probably better in the long run as it supports me thinking for me, not according to the media narrative.
I ended up losing a friendship because of this.

The division has been going on for so long.
