(15,374 posts)heartbroken that while I appreciate the message and snark, it still brings me to tears.
But Hillary will never stop working for us all, even though some never appreciated her one whit - and still don't. Screw them forever! Hillary would have been a President for ALL Americans even though the terrible insults, slanders and lies have STILL NOT stopped and likely never will.
I am STILL with her. To me, voting for Trump - or not voting or voting for anyone other than Hillary - and STILL not regretting those choices are absolute lines in the sand. I do NOT want such people in my life at all. They will not be welcome in my home or anywhere near my personal space - whether they are family members or consider themselves "friends."
What is amazing to me is that some still do consider themselves friends. They seem to think that I'll "get over it." But these differences are not simply political differences that can be accepted - even when difficult - as with Bush II. They are existential lifestyle changes and I simply will NEVER "get over them."
As for family members I must meet in certain situations (holidays, weddings, funerals, etc.), I will be minimally courteous. But I will remove myself from their presence as soon as possible and will avoid such occasions like the plague.
I am DONE with them. They'll literally have to crawl back. If they don't, I won't miss them at all. My life is a very full one without them.
