The takeaway here is that Republicans are generally confused, lonely, unprincipled and two-faced.
It's not a "difference of opinion" when your party think I should be put in a concentration camp even if you know I'm "one of the good ones." You're all the bad ones, and I know it.
Very well stated, thank you.
Narcissists often think that people who tolerate their presence all want to be friends with them
“I’m not racist I have a black friend” energy
Pointed that out in my comment too. Republicans probably think theyre friends with Democrats who are "one of the good ones." Dems are smart enough to know Republicans are all bad
Exactly, thank you.
Interpretation: Republicans more likely to be unaware that people they consider friends actually hate them.
so just like abusive husbands who think the marriage is amazing
They're more comfortable with lying.
What they are thinking of, is they used to have a good friend in the other party. They just didn’t get the note that, that friend stopped considering them as a friend.
Yeah, or that. I certainly jettisoned several people over their political affiliation over the last few years.
Theyre lying.
That's what conservatives do. They are venal, disingenuous, self-absorbed, hateful little people.
Some of them could be hiding their opinions and saying "I just don't like to get into politics".
Conservatives are vile creatures who think as long as they are polite to your face then everything is okay.
They don't even need to do that. The ol' deathbed confession and/or going to church on occasion will make up for a lifetime of behaving like a psychopath, right?
That's because people who aren't MAGA don't consider MAGA people friends any longer. We drew the line in the sand long ago...
Do I look like I give a shit? I'm not trying to make friends with republicans.
Just like when racists totally have a black friend, right?
If I find out that a friend votes Republican, I find out we ain't friends. They're just somebody I thought I knew.
Right, because the Democratic Party is considered more honorable than the assholes in the Confederate Party. Who wants to aspire to be friends with Confederates?
Consequence of being friendly is that a lot more shitty people will consider you their friend than the other way around
Lol
My very much not in a cult F-I-L gets mad everytime I tell him to turn off Faux News when he spouts propaganda.
He retorts back he watches and reads all kinds of news like Drudge Report, OAN, and New Max. He also claims to have a black friend
He retorts back he watches and reads all kinds of news like Drudge Report, OAN, and New Max.
Holy shit, what an open mind. What is he, a LIEberal?
/s
How people still insist fox news is news when they've gone out of their way to say they're not is beyond me. And wow I'm so sorry your fil consumes all that
Dems need to get on my level and just not have any friends of any political persuasion

A. They are lying
B. They're narcissistic
C. They don't actually know what "friend" means
D. 64% of Democrats that have a friend in the GOP and the 82% of GOP that say they do are one to Many.
E. 64% of Democrats don't know what a friend is
F. Democrats are lying in this study.
