Why can't I meet like-minded people?

[onlyadream]

I'm disappointed. Just thought I met someone who could be a friend, she claims to be open minded and reads and watches many diverse new sources. BUT then, when I said something negative about Jeanine Pirro, she asked what was wrong with Pirro. I asked if she ever watched the show, and she said yes. That's when the tires screeched to a halt. How could anyone be knowledgeable about truth and facts and watch Pirro? Am I wrong about this? What would you think?

6. I feel for you...

I live in a blue state, but in a red area. I'm really sad because my in-laws, my mom, and all old friends think Biden stole the election. I just found out my mom (87) thinks this, so it's hitting hard. Thank god my sister, hubby, and kids are all on our side!!!

2. I'm sure you've met many like-minded people here on the DU

We're only a few keyboard clicks away!

3. I screen people before moving them from the

acquaintance column to the friend column. Not a lot of folks in the friend column but there’s a few and I live in the Florida Panhandle. I’ve found being outspoken has actually increased the number. So many are afraid to say anything in public because they don’t want to get piled on. I’m pretty well known for not backing down so I guess they feel safe around me.

4. If u can find the time to volunteer w/a progressive group or campaign

You’ll likely find friends there. Especially if it’s something you’re passionate about,

5. That's actually a great idea! nt

7. When she was a DA, she did a lot of work on domestic abuse. She put away someone

who murdered someone I know. When she first started to be famous, I was slow to believe she had gone bat shit crazy.

But then I saw her show. So....

8. It's amazing how much she changed.

I guess it pays the bills. *sigh*

9. Well there's three things we can do with your friend...

...we can bury her, we can burn her or we can dump her.

"Dump her?"

Yes, dump her her in the Thames.

10. GLARING red flag

dump her!!!

11. It depends on what you want from the friendship.

Can you use a friend who you don't discuss politics with? Is she a good and generous person in other ways? Some of my friends fit into niches, if you know what I mean.

14. I just met her and hung out with her twice.

So I'm not very invested, and, at this point, I don't really know what she's like. But this discussion had me for a loop. It's a good thing I had a mask on so she didn't see the disgust on my face when she said she like Pirro!

12. The true test would be to ask her about Rachel Maddow

If she dislikes or avoids Rachel, she's no friend of yours.

[onlyadream]

13. She says she does watch Rachel

But I don't see how one can watch Pirro and Rachel and NOT think Pirro is an evil bitch.

15. Am I the only person who had no idea who Jeanine Pirro is?

Stupid cord cutting Gen x over here....

16. Not close. But if she becomes really RW in her conversations, then dump her.
