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.

Good advice!
