I decided about two years ago that I would completely avoid liberals.

I’m an attorney in the Atlanta metro area, so this is actually a harder thing to do than you’d think. I have gradually deemphasized the friendships I had with colleagues who are liberal. I have gradually become busier and busier and have avoided them as much as humanly possible while remaining cordial. After two years of this, they have stoped calling me, texting me, and inviting me to things.

With regard to the liberal friends that I had that were not colleagues, I cut them out of my life cold turkey. I blocked their numbers. I blocked the number of my liberal neighbor who lives next door to me. After about a month, he stopped by my house and knocked on the door. I went to the door and he saw me through the glass. He waived at me and said, “Just wanted to check on you.” I didn’t open the door. I turned around and went upstairs. I haven’t heard from him since.

I have been significantly more happy after cutting these people out of my life. Don’t get me wrong, because I live in Atlanta I still come into contact with the entitled black woman from time to time. But I simply don’t respond when they talk to me. I don’t feel bad at all for living my life like this. Life is short, don’t jeopardize your happiness by putting yourself in uncomfortable situations where you have to deal unreasonable people.

Don’t blame you. We have nothing in common with people who hate our country

I don't have much in common with one of my neighbors... but considering she'd be the one I'd need in an emergency, I don't think I'd shite on her in this way. That's just me, though.

This is kinda weird. You can at least be polite but not engage them otherwise.

How do you avoid them as an Atty? Most barristers I know are libs.

I have to interact with them professionally but I limit it to that. We never go out to lunch or after work drinks. I don’t invite them to anything that I host.

Sounds reasonable to me, and I don’t pretend to be religious.

Leftist are lunatics.

That’s weird. Many of my friends are of different political ideology than me. Neither me nor they allow that to get in the way of friendship.

Think that's going too far. He doesn't seem like one of the types you'd see doing crazy shite on social media but an actual human who cared about you. You're behaving irrationally like the other end of the spectrum.

This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever read on this board. And there are a LOT of unhappy people here.

I sincerely hope you are a mentally ill outlier and not an omen of the further fracturing of this country.

I live in mid-city BR. Too many libs around. I just look down and move along. My neighbors already know that I’m not into the kumbaya crap. Only one on my block with American flag on house.

I’m mentally ill because I don’t hang out with liberals? Are you mentally sound?

I’m not trying to insult you. I genuinely feel bad for you.

You know you could probably receive the validation and approval you seek on this board from real people and it would be actual love and respect, not the fake internet kind, if you treated humans like humans.

Most of us are good. Most of us just want real connection. I have to believe deep down, you’re probably one of those people. You’ve been led astray by the media.

Don’t let hate control your life.

That's fine. They want to avoid you as well.

see this is why you know you are right to avoid them. It’s all about the articulate passive aggressive jack shite that they work into everything.

I have been doing the same myself, especially since Charlie Kirk was killed. I've always been a live and let live kind of person, but now I know how many of them wish ill of my family and it has changed my outlook. I no longer tolerate them, I won't associate with them, and I don't bite my tongue at all. There have now been a couple instances where I've been in public with people near me that were obvious liberals and I ensured they knew what I thought of their side.
My wife doesn't like it, but she also understands. She has a couple of lifelong friends that are liberal and I told her they are no longer welcome in our home. I don't like doing that to her and I may back off for these 2 people, but I can assure you things will likely get uncomfortable for them.
