I only need one answer. [View all]

Since November 5, I have cut back any or most all interaction with the Trumpers in my life.
Basically the only Trumpers I choose to speak with at all are family members and that’s just on a limited need to know basis.
I’ve just decided that they are people that don’t share my basic values and I’m too old and life is too short to waste on people like that.

Now when I meet someone new in a social situation that wants to become part of my social circle, I say this:
‘‘Before I waste either your time or mine in possibly starting a friendship, I have one question to ask you, who did you vote for President in 2024?”

If they say Trump, then I thank them for their answer and tell them that we’re just not a good match for friendship because our values are so different.

If they say Harris, then I smile and ask them if I can buy them a coffee.

This is so different for the way I was pre Trump. Before him, I had many Republican friends and acquaintances. But Trump has changed that for me. I just can’t deal with them any longer. My social circle is much smaller but so is my stress level.
Anybody else feel this way?
