I’ve tried not to think this way, but I have to agree with you in large measure. When people who are supposed to be my ‘friends’ support a government that will hurt me and my children, because they think it will benefit them, they have declared that they don’t really care what happens to me, my family, and those who think like me. They are thus, not really my friends. I have never in my life felt more isolated and separate from what is being featured as mainstream in my own country. Yes, I am resentful.
Be cheerful like Reagan. If they're not hardcore marxists, they have the potential to be converted and see the light.
