My Best Friend is a Trump Supporter

7. Your friend has been a conservative asshole

for decades.

The problem this election has revealed is the United States really hasn't evolved. Progressives believed that progress was being made. Thru Clinton, Bush, and especially Obama there was hope that the country was moving forward on civil rights issues. Then Nov 8 happened.

The revelation that backward thinking religious augmented racists really were in charge of the country again has been too much. I know I have no tolerance or patience for politely listening to 1850's ideology. Of course, those of us who were paying attention saw this coming by looking at Wisconsin, Texas, and other state elections. We watched voter rights being stolen on a racial basis. We saw all the pending court cases against homosexuality and trans genders. There was hope, though, that all this was just a phase and progressivism would prevail. Boy were we wrong.

I will not tolerate fox news talking points. I will not tolerate the WH ideas that everything conservatives disagree with is fake news. If Democrats don't win the midterms this country is over. Get your ass out there and vote.

I know this turn your friendship has taken is hard and really bothers you. I am truly sorry for your loss. However, I don't care about conservatives. I will vote for better wages, healthcare, and public education. I will vote that science and logic are the basis of our governmental policies instead of fairy tale logic. If conservatives get benefits from these positions, so be it. But in my heart of hearts I hope they drop dead.
