after the election I cut the ties with all long-term friends who holds a different political view, none of us can bear with another sides so let's get rid of each other. I feel so much relieved actually and never looked back, in fact I should have done this long time ago. There is no way to get along, YOLO, no need to bend just for the fake of outdated nothing-in-common 'friendship' anymore. for those who are not even old friends and on the other side of the wall, I hope we live in different countries and never see each other ever on the street. I never felt that disappointed in the so called democracy, for a 50:50 split in this country, something must be changed or it will tie both sides deadly, nothing can be done then. Maybe a war is indeed the way out. |

Your politics is not your identity. Other people's politics are not their identity. It's just differences in policy opinions which can and do change through life or as circumstances change.
If a person is intrinsically welded to political affinity as _the_ defining characteristic of themselves or others it's a huge problem. A huge imbalance. A horrible and shallow misunderstanding of the nature of the human experience.
Most people want the same things out life and for society, they just have different ideas on the best policies to achieve this. Very few people are intrinsically and irredeemably evil. Many more are simply confused or misguided. Sometimes it's us that's misguided. Its useful to keep somewhat of an open mind and understand people view the world in different ways.
Your friends are people and your friends not Democrats and Republicans.
