Why would you have leftist friends to begin with?
The vast majority of non-political chats and forums with people my age are dominated by leftists.
I understand the frustration though. I used to think I was on the left but I saw the folly of that.
I'm glad you could do that. I was always conservative but I'm a lot further to the right than I used to be.
Trouble is not everyone is as smart as me and trying to get people to take the same mental steps... to bring them out of it.
Its too much effort, I feel like screaming as well.
Thanks. I don't think they ever will change but I can always hope.
Well!!! I am here!
I'm glad you are AD. You're really wonderful
I've never been leftist, but due to work circumstances I once made friends with someone who at the time I had no idea was a raving liberal. But after we were already friends, it eventually came out, and we were able to remain friends while we didn't talk about politics, but once the conversation turned to politics we were always arguing. Eventually he got another job and moved away and I did not make efforts to keep in contact with him.
I feel like I should lose contact with some of these people but who knows if I might be the person to lead them out of that mindset one day?
