They try to deride you as if their dissatisfaction with you is some sort of impetus to change your behavior.

They cannot fathom that:
A. You simply don’t give a shite

And

B. You actually prefer the separation that their dissatisfaction of you ensures

Megyn Kelly shared similar remarks at her TPUSA talk. I happen to disagree.

The few leftists in my circle are actually ok to be around in real life. On social media they are nuts.

I’m starting to sympathize with OP. As someone with young kids, I can’t stomach befriending someone that votes on policy that hurts me and my family and encourages a culture of decay rather than virtue.

They smile to my face while privately wanting to destroy every core value that I believe in.

OP isn’t miserable… but admittedly happier.

The OP also advocates against dating women and traditional marriage. He’s pivoted from the OT to our Board with these bizarre takes.

I decided long ago not to foster, or attempt to maintain, relationships with people that wish all Conservatives dead.

I did the same thing a few years ago. I’ve blocked them from infecting my life with their unhappiness and toxicity. That includes a few family members who are absolutely toxic people to be around. I’ve also blocked a lot of entertainment from my life that I consider to be toxic. That includes movies, sports, music and TV personalities. All of these things make one’s life unhappy.

We don’t need progressives in our lives but they seem to need us. We will live a happier and more fulfilled life by preventing them from corrupting our happiness.

I'm pretty much the same way but don't typically associate with many people anyway. Liberals seem to have gone off the rails in recent years and need to stick together. I'm not sure what a friendship with any of them would offer. Mentally they aren't there or if they are they thrive on wanting normal people to think they are nuts. They don't stand for anything of substance and always act on emotion with no common sense to offset their emotions.

You’re making an awful lot of assumptions. Surely you have interacted with these modern day liberals. They are toxic.

If your neighbor is checking on you, maybe he isn't the type of person you need to avoid. If we just stick to our echo chambers, we're not helping anyone.

My neighbor told me that Luigi Mangione did what he didn’t have the balls to do. I’m fully justified in not talking to that psycho.

Only on the TV and internet.
Most people are good and kind. They check on their neighbors when they haven’t been able to get through. They come to pick you up when your car breaks down. They come to your wedding and tell funny stories about your shared youth. They cheer for the same sports teams or rib their rivals.

So no. I don’t have any “toxic liberals” in my day to day life. Just people who vote differently than me.

(I also don’t live in Portland or San Francisco)

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.

I happen to be that exact neighbor that literally everyone in my hood would need in an emergency. They're not exactly aware that I'm prepared for pretty much everything up to nuclear war, but I'll help who I can if it comes to that.

But more on subject, I've pretty much extinguished all relationships with toxic liberals as well. I have a couple of liberal family members that haven't gone completely off the deep end (yet), and I still associate with them and will continue to do so as long as they're willing to put politics aside like I am and just enjoy each other's company. But the second they want to start sounding like Joe and Mika on Morning Melt, I'll cut them out just like the rest.

There's no shame in living your life as toxin-free as possible. It's wonderful for your mental health, which greatly affects your physical health. It's imperative to set boundaries and let people know to keep it civil and positive during interactions with you. If they cannot honor that simple request, what is the point in continuing your association with them?

Oh. Now I just don’t believe you.

* Right before the election, I started an account on Democratic Underground so I could read their reactions to Trump winning. Someone started a thread about how their sick elderly aunt went from $90 to $700 monthly for her insulin because of Trump. My first (and only post because they promptly banned me) was to call them out as lying for internet clout.

I think that’s what’s happening here.

“There have now been a couple instances where I’ve been in public with people near me that were obvious liberals andI ensured they knew what I thought of their side.”

I understand your feelings and have done much the same,I’ve purged leftists from my life including some family.I want nothing to do with them.They may seem nice on the surface but they support a deviant ideology that disgusts me.

However it seems like you’re playing a dangerous game.Never know when some unhinged MF’er might decide to shoot or stab you.It’s easier to just ignore them.Actually,I think they much prefer to be called out for their deviant b.s.,they get their jollies knowing they are getting under the skin of a conservative.
Anyway,I hope you don’t engage with them when you’re with your wife.It’s not worth potential harm to her(or yourself).

Just my 2 cents.

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.


You sound like a douche, and it seems like you had a pretty caring neighbor. And you just cut them off because you disagree with their politics. Couldn’t imagine living life like this, but to each their own. I hope you never need anything from your neighbor in the future

Dude, liberals justify murder and violence all the time. Like all the time. As long as it furthers their agenda it’s okay. There were liberals at my work that made jokes about Charlie Kirk’s death and the attempted assassinations of President Trump.

Are you sure you’re paying attention to the modern day liberal in 2025?
