Quote:I had an LBGT friend of mine ask that all his Facebook friends who voted for Trump unfriend him.

 

No way, I consider him my friend even if he's so distraught.  My vote doesn't mean I don't support him and his lifestyle like he thinks.

 

I've got other LGBT friends and family and none of them acted that way.  Some of them even voted the way I did for Trump.

 

I think people actually believe in government more than they do their fellow citizens, family, and friends.  It's a completely skewed and dangerous worldview.

That is such a perfect and really scary way to describe it. Dang that's freaky. I guess I've thought the same thing but never quite in those words. Somehow we have cultivated a sector of society that remind me of the kids in Pink Floyd's video for Brick in the Wall. The group of people who used to be seen as anti-establishment are now trying to build their own.

 

Edited to add: I have had several friends just straight up unfriend me and they are all very liberal. I never posted anything on Facebook that was offensive politically leading up to the election. Unless people were offended that I am Libertarian which many of my very conservative friends take issue with but we're still friends on FB and in life. I thought it to be a sad thing indeed.
