Should I cut off my friend because he's an avid trump supporter?

Feminine behavior personified, you gonna fall out with a friend, a true friend, because he doesnt parrot liberal wokety woke talking points just to make you feel good? What a joke...black people swear they aren't a monolith until it comes to politics, then we all are supposed to shut up, worship the Obama's, act like Trump is the devil incarnate, and vote on liberal agenda that keeps thoughtful pronouns, abortion rights, and the LGBTQ agenda at the top of the priority list..
I swear black men get more feminine by the minute
 
What about the next friend that supports someone else you vehemently disagree with?

This is not a disagreement over if a shirt is blue or gold.....

Or if jaywalking / weed should be illegal.

Those are trivial issues.

The dude said no one wants to hear about the slave days.

That is huge. Slavery is the true history of this country and is the foundation of hundreds of years of fuckery towards black people.

And that lends more proof of how this person sees you, their "god child" (OP's child) and all black people.

Fuck him!

Be cordial, no need to be mean or nasty, but maintain your distance.
 
Dont talk politics with friends unless they are your day 1's/ride or dies. In that case, question what got them to that point.

Everyone else? Eh. If they voted for the Orange man or not I probably already know they are stupid. I dont need the extra confirmation if its people I know.
 
Yes!

Is obvious that you have a bond which transcends politics. It would be foolish to throw that away over a difference in opinion.

So instead be patient. Listen close to what he says and try to see how he came to that conclusion. Be the best friend you can.

Because pushing him away Will drive him even further into the MAGAverse. And that's the last thing you, I, or the country needs.

On the other hand, he will inevitably have doubts and have the rest of Trump's minions turn on him. When that happens he's more likely to reject that foolishness if he knows he has friends and community on the other side.

My best friend voted for Trump in 2016. After January 6th he became one of his biggest critics. I check in on him because eventually his ruby red community is going to come after him and his family.


This is all true.

Thanks for that input.

I'm glad you came to that conclusion bro. It's really tough, I get it. How can anyone see what this motherfucker is doing, has done, the people he's let off and pardoned and what they've done and think, "this is a guy I should be supported"?

Focus on your relationship outside of that and go from there. Hope it works out for you
 
I disagree. MAGA is a white supremacy movement, plan and simple. They don't like black people and don't want us around. They want to use the force of the government to keep us segregated. That is not a conservative ideal. Why would I be friends with someone who supports that?

When I retired and didn't have to be around those people anymore, I cut off all contact. I don't call nor return calls. Don't go to retirement or Christmas parties. FUCK THEM. They are the worst people in the world.

What makes MAGA any more white supremacist than Bush lying and saying Arabs would start acting like us if we bombed them enough? Any more than Reagan kicking off his presidential campaign where the freedom riders got murdered?

Folks got to stop acting like the new problem is worse than the original problem. Only difference between Trump and any republican from the last 50 years is that he lacks the WASP finishing school that makes their racism palatable to baby boomers. Ali came out for Reagan against Mondale, a man who cared about black people when he REALLY didnt have to, and niggas still allowed his shaking ass to light the Olympic torch in Dr King's city 12 years later. Spare me the MAGA derangement syndrome.

It is a white supremacist movement, which is why they will eventually turn on him. At that point no smiles, chants, red hats, or double downs will save him.

That's where you come in because that's what friends do. We stand for for each other when we're in trouble, no matter how stupid that trouble may be.

Sometimes you have to say no or love them from a distance, but never turn your back completely because nobody's immune from foolishness and dumb decisions. Not even you.

And when that trouble comes your way you want to look behind you and see more than just a wall.
