I’m 66. Over my lifetime I’ve lost a lot of “friends” over various issues. I used to hang around quite a few musicians. Most of them are gone from my life now. Some left with expletive laced posts in FaceBook. It’s kinda comical to me, really, I’ve experienced, personally, the projection of the left. They are a touchy group. They’re pretty easy to intentionally set off, as Trump demonstrates daily.
They are cowards. They are afraid that you might explain your ideas so well that they might have to actually think.
Think that your ideas are better and that they have to figure how to live with all of their leftist comrades knowing that they know they are wrong.
If a friend cannot carry out a rational debate about Trump and threaten to break up the friendship when they cannot defend their opinions with logic and facts, then they are being ruled by their emotions and it is unlikely that you will be able to convince them that they are wrong.
That’s not a loss.
Ya know, I’ve had friends that were Obama supporters and I didn’t disown them. I think it’s just the left that acts so childish.
If a friend can’t respect your opinion, they’re not really a friend.
One of my best friends was a liberal in college. I ignored it. He has gotten much more radical. A Bernie supporter now. But for the most part we just DON’T talk politics anymore. Occasional digs, but that’s about it.
Over 50 of Hilary’s friends and colleagues have ‘committed suicide’ in suspicious circumstances. And the Clinton Foundation is a thin veneer for child trafficking and extortion.
Ask these liberal ‘friends’ why they think Jesus would have voted for her.
Also, Trump walks the walk on Pro-Life. Ask these pharisees why their version of Jesus is ok with infanticide.
She was not invited back and it doesn't matter, because my estimation of her diminished by about 5000%
Not because of her views, but because she forgot how to conduct herself
Has anyone here who uses Fakebook NOT been unfriended by a “tolerant” Liberal so called Friend?
My experience.
I respond to ridiculous statements by using Facts.
The responses contain personal attacks against me.
I call them out.
They unfriend me.
Rinse, repeat.
Stop talking to the Left. They want you dead and they refuse to learn.
I would never have a “friend” that wanted the government to kill me.
Why would someone who doesn’t see Jesus in the same way as a Christian care if Jesus approves of one thing or another? That’s just a technique to manipulate the narrative, no matter how nicely it’s done. Push just a little and usually that person will reveal just how much they respect what Jesus approves of when they want to say homosexuality is just love or a woman deserves the right to kill her baby.

When my friend died suddenly a few years later (had a major heart attack in his cardiologist's office and dropped dead to the floor), a mutual friend from school notified me so that I could attend the funeral. I cried at his grave not only for his death, but for the years of friendship we missed out on, thanks to the lies of B.O.
If Jesus felt the same about illegal aliens as he did about the Pharisees or the moneychangers in the temple, I suspect he’d have signed up for the Border Patrol.
My dad advised me went I left home for college that half of the people I met in life wouldn't like me not matter what I said or did. Forget them, he said, and focus of the other half that do like you. There is where your friends will come from.
I don't have any "friends" who left me because of my support for Trump. I left them because they didn't support me.
I had a cousin do this with Obama. She supported single payer health care and I did not. She said if I did not, I did not care about her and her cancer. So, she very vocally wrote me off. She’s crazy.
My liberal friend (never discussed politics) died last year. Yesterday my sister and I were at her home helping her husband sort and organize her stuff before he moved away. One thing was a sampler she had finished but never framed. I suggested he take it to Hobby Lobby and they’d take care of it. He did a big “hrumph!”, stalked away, and said, “Hobby Lobby ... those racists!”
Sis and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. I was going to remind him that Hobby Lobby’s owners are rabid Catholics, as he is (he was a priest). I was going to explain how many minorities I’ve seen working there. I did none of those things, considering the solemnity of the situation and out of respect for his wife and her stuff.
I’m praying he loses our phone number after he moves. He wants to maintain a relationship with DH and me, but we don’t deal well with socialists.
