Curl up with a dog or a cat. Find a living thing that knows nothing of this “Trump” beast. Have a glass of wine. Maybe read some old poetry. Don’t give these people any more of your life.

Or to any man under the sun!

I am going through the same anxiety/bouts of depression/emotions as you...every fucken day. Finally kicked my narcissist, emotionally abusive husband to the curb and now I have to struggle against Trump’s narcissism and non stop emotional abuse. I am utterly and truly exhausted!

*Because he pays them, they shouldn’t complain

I know it’s easy for me to say this but you’re better off not having any friends at all than to settle for people like this.

I wonder who should represent him Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer?

I’m sorry that happened to you.

There are people who say that politics don’t really matter - nothing ever changes. Those people simply aren’t paying attention. About 15 years ago, in my area, there was a “fiscally conservative” politician who was elected that I just hated, I was just so mad during his term. By the end of his term, a few people in a…

Is there some reason why you didn’t just beat this guy with a chair? No jury in the world would convict you.

Studies indicate you are correct - your hopeful brain does actually process things differently from their fear based brains -

I’m very sorry that happened to you. Everything is exhausting. Mr. Conservative went on a tirade because he knows that he voted for trump because he’s racist, sexist and incredibly selfish although he’ll deny that’s the reason. And you’re correct - trump supporters are a lost cost. What we should be focusing on is…

I’m sorry this happened to you. All of it.

Don’t spend time with people like that. There is no point in punishing yourself and they are too cruel and stupid to respond to rational arguments.

I have had the same issues for the last several years, since I am usually the only left leaning person at many neighborhood parties that I attend.

Sending you Internet hugs. How awful.

I am so sorry you had to deal with these people. You are amazing for having tried to earnestly get an understanding of why they think they way they do. I hope they let your words from “the other side” sink in a bit and reflect...I don’t expect it but I do hope. 

A thousand hugs. I’m so sorry on all counts. I wish I could grant you a July 4th party re-do without the cruel assholes.

Those people are racists. Plain and simple. You can especially tell when they say things like black lives matter are the real racists, or gay people are pushing their agenda on everyone else.

Oh honey, I’m sorry, I have had similar endings to convos - except I’m pretty open about having been raped. In a lot of situations, letting someone know that has reoriented their worldview because, despite it being so common, there are still so many people who think it doesn’t actually happen to anyone they know. But…

People like him need to be shunned and excluded from social gatherings altogether.
