I have a friend like that, too. I am going out "leaf peeping" with her tomorrow. It is funny how attracted she is to me at the same time thinking that I am wrong about everything. I find it interesting to see how her understanding of things evolves. Seems as though she just avoids thinking about certain things. I remember being like that…
I have a friend like that, too. I am going out "leaf peeping" with her tomorrow. It is funny how attracted she is to me at the same time thinking that I am wrong about everything.

Plus, in her enormous favor, she did not abandon me during Covid. And plenty of people did.
You are learning the same lesson so many people do, eventually: Liberals and Humans just don't get along. I do not try to reason with these creatures; they lie like others breathe, and "moral relativism" governs their existence, and to them, everything is governed by an "ends justifies the means" mentality. These things honestly believe that lying, murder, corruption, and anything else you can conceive of is A-OK, because it all leads to communist Utopia, and any sacrifice is worthwhile to get there. The fact that such a Utopia doesn't exist, and never has, in all history doesn't matter to them: you see, this time they will get it right. . .
...and these fools also forget that in every case, once the psychopaths attain absolute power, they quickly EXTERMINATE the "useful idiots" who had helped them GET to power.
That's true, but in communist regimes, the people at the very top live lives of wealth, luxury, and power. Think about the folks who run North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela--the dictator, his immediate friends and family, his mistresses, and a handful of others in government live like royalty while their countrymen starve. So, some of the current leftist elites--think Hillary Clinton--expect to live even larger in a communist government than they do in the nominal democracy, what used to be a Democratic Republic, that governs this woke/broke/joke of a country. People can always fool themselves, pretending that "everyone ELSE will end up in a work camp, I will be the dictator's right-hand man".
As I see it, right now US citizens live in a Kleptocracy, we are governed by thieves who use their political positions to line their pockets. An obvious example would be Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez who went from working as a bartender to being worth over 30 million dollars after a few years in Congress. It's hard for me to feel sorry for my fellow citizens, as they are dumb enough to allow this to happen, in a sane country our government would have been forcibly overthrown decades ago, and in the government that replaced it corruption would have been monitored and swiftly punished. Trump, well, he stopped the bleeding, mostly, for 4Y and we had a temporary pause in the ongoing decline of this once-great nation. I support him and hope he wins again, but I think that another brief pause in the decline of the US is about all we can hope for. If Harris cheats her way into power instead, and again cranks up the printing press to devalue our currency, I would not be at all surprised to see a Hyperinflationary Dollar Collapse in the US, immediately followed by the end of civilization here. Think about it: if the Dollar became worthless at 7 a.m. on a busy weekday morning, grocery stores would be looted and burned by 9 a.m. Gun stores, gas stations, and pretty much every store would soon follow. I could see civilization here gone by 3 or 4 in the afternoon in a Dollar Collapse scenario, which I absolutely believe not only could happen, but will happen if we stay on course with print-and-spend.
I disagree. I think she is quite reasonable. Those like you who think she is a witch are just as bad as the "liberals" or "democrats" you probably rail against. Abortion is not a zero sum thing. You should know this. In some cases it is the absolutely right thing to do. If you can't see those cases then you are indoctrinated.
Well as Trump himself says, she is entitled to her opinion. Also, remember what field she was in before meeting Trump, I would imagine that abortions are wide spread in the modeling profession.
Perhaps I am an awful person, but I am committed to my own preservation. Most people I see in these comment threads were abandoned or rejected by their leftist friends. I did the opposite: I pre-emptively abandoned THEM.
When a couple friends turned into insane people during Covid, I just dropped them. Mentally ill people scare me, and these people had cracked and gone crazy. After two or three attempts to talk sense to them, I gave up.
When I feel guilty about that, I just remember the advice of Josh Slocum, whose specialty is Cluster B personality disorders. He said to ask yourself: If the country goes full Stalinist, would this person snitch on me to the authorities? If you have to hesitate even a moment before answering, DROP THAT PERSON FROM YOUR LIFE. Immediately and totally.
KATHY S - yes I agree used the same process. Don’t want them as friends - don’t trust them - they would hurt me to stay alive in their fantasy. Sorry - but F them I am too smart too strong and too independent to need those asshats around me.
That is exactly what I told my husband about several of our “friends” during Covid. They would snitch on us in a heartbeat. We still interact with them but are not true friends anymore. We we sad at first, but once we realize they would turn on us, the decision was easy.
Yes, exactly. I likewise cut a slew of people out of my life during the Covid/Vaxx attack. It was clear their critical judgment could no longer be taken seriously, while they were passing judgment on many others.
I can’t be friends with people I don’t respect. I know a lot of people I thought were smart who turned out not to be wise.
The bigger concern is what these fools are going to do, and allow to be done to us, when the next big horror show production gets dropped on us.
It's a combination of cognitive dissonance and what Ayn Rand aptly characterized as a "blank out." And that's the mildest case. Try telling your average shitlib that no nation ever taxed itself into prosperity. It will take them a few momentsnto process what you just said before they explode into paroxisms of spittle-flecked rage, hate and name-calling. Properly speaking, it's a psychotic break.

She’s just the latest in a long line of scum. Pelosi comes to mind. Heck, they are all guilty
Look at Melania. She was great when before she started talking. Now she has revealed herself to be a pro-abort, feminist witch.

Yeah, it's all just opinions, right John? Let's vote on scientific hypothesises too.
Lugh, the longer I watch the more I realize that emotion and opinion seem to matter more than facts.
And New Zealand welcomes the day.
Liberals and humans, ha! Does that mean that liberals equals Klingons or Romulans.

Reading your descriptive comment, I totally saw in my mind’s eye Keith Olbermann 😜
