And the people that the Right Wing targets are probably not going to want to be friends with someone who has basically said, "I am okay with people who LOOK LIKE YOU or THINK LIKE YOU being exterminated.

Maybe you should rethink YOUR worldview if people distanced themselves from you over "politics"

So if you're a conservative, and you voted for Trump, and suddenly find all your Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ friends suddenly no longer wish to be friends with you, this is likely why. You have broadcast, to the world, that you are okay with the destruction of certain groups and individuals.

->

Queer people know this, intimately. Queer folks are deeply in tune with the fact that even before people of Jewish or Romani descent were targeted by the Nazi party in Germany, queer people were the primary focus of the hate from a party that conservatives increasingly emulate.

->

They see someone who is okay with the destruction of queer bodies and queer identities, but whom holds queer friends because they are "one of the good ones". But "the good ones" stop being accepted and start being targets as soon as all the other targets are gone.

->

Trump has been talking about stripping LGBTQ+ folks of their right to marry, their right to hold jobs without discrimination, to their right to health care, their right to use a goddamned bathrooom. And now? you voted for that. What does your queer friend see?

->

Due to Trump's rhetoric emboldening them, conservatives since 2016 have become much more openly willing to visit violence on LGBTQ+ people, with 1 in 5 hate crimes being against LGBTQ+ individuals or groups (Per Human Rights Campaign).

So let's think about that for a moment.

->

Lets take the queer friend who stops talking to you because you voted MAGA. Trump has basically focused down trans people and conservatives have, for decades, been openly hostile to gay people.

->

Well, it's very likely that the "friends who stopped talking to you" if you are conservative and voted for Trump are Black, Brown, women, queer, or any combination of these. And the reason they stopped talking to you?

Trump and MAGA want to destroy all of these groups.

->

So here's the thing. Your politics are your character. They represent your worldview. And they also demonstrate what you are willing, or unwilling, to accept and tolerate in your life.

The people complaining about losing friends are usually conservative. Why is that?
