For the first time
Nov. 9th, 2016 10:21 amI may have lost an actual friend, someone I truly care about, over politics. He seems to feel that his conscience should rule everybody's choices because he didn't like the outcome of the election.
I've hated every result that's happened for the past 40 years (give or take). I listen to pundits, friends and strangers expound on views I find disturbing (because it's so OBVIOUS to me that they are ... misguided. How can ANY thinking being BELIEVE that shit????) and I say something mild (because I am a physical coward who is trembling RIGHT THIS MINUTE as I type because this is already too confrontational for my comfort--if I even post, I'm likely to delete it).
Then one or more of them says something that means "you don't agree with me, so you are shit."
Thank you world. I needed that.
