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

I grant you that there are plenty of sick people out there. The fact you (and multiple others in this thread) confuse them with the people in your life that care about you is what stands out to me.

Your stance on othering people is no different than theirs.

I did the exact same thing.

I actually went on my facebook during the election and asked everybody (tons of high school, college and Frat brother friends that I don't really communicate with in real life anymore) and asked "Raise your hand if you are voting for Kamala Harris"

About 30 people responded, and I instantly hard blocked them - I don't want anything to do with those people

As far as living in Metro Atlanta myself, I don't personally know one single person who is not MAGA - I am talking people in ATL proper, Gwinnett, Hall, Cobb and Cherokee - I know they are out there but I have never ran across a single person who dislikes Trump.

I do not really associate with Black women unless I am at their job purchasing something and 90% of the black women I encounter on a daily basis are super friendly. I just don't see all of this racism everybody seems to talk about Atlanta. It's just not there for me - I am sure it is out there but not in my life

Liberals are fricked up, sour people. Theres only one that I ever have anything to do with, and thats an old friend of my parents who has agreed to avoid politics completely. Otherwise, I am surrounded by happy, successful, well adjusted people in my neighborhood, church and my kids private school. Im retired now but had very few liberals around me at work or even in college before that. The few that I did know in my past were always unpleasant.

Don't you get requests from work acquaintances that you feel like you have to accept? Maybe thats unique to me bc I'm in business development? Every time I work with someone (my company, clients, etc) i see recommendations for them on FB and while I dont request them, sometimes they request me. I feel obligated to accept rather than have an important contact think im shunning them.

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.

Where was this convenient piece of information that you just dropped on me while you were telling us that you ignored your neighbor who was checking on you, just because you knew he was a liberal?

I have a hard time believing that the same person who said what you claim he said, is also the person who showed concern for his conservative neighbor. But, of course, who can prove you wrong? You're a guy who showed up on a message board and gave us a story that we can't possibly verify, and I guess you're looking for a pat on the back.

If someone is overtly hostile, I'm not going to engage with them, either. But I'm not just going to automatically shut everyone off who I have disagreements with, because I happen to know people who I can disagree with politically, who aren't unhinged, violent people. Why do you think we hear stories about people leaving the left because of their antics? It's because some people are just ignorant, politically, but still have hearts, and their minds can be changed.

This is why I'm not clapping for you over your declaration. It's your life and your decision. But since you put it out there, I'm going to disagree with your general attitude about this.

Liberals have nothing in common with conservatives and wish them dead. I have no problem with his choice.

All he is doing is telling you what he did. You are free to do as you please. He is not trying to tell you how to live your life. If you want to associate with people who want you hurt/dead that’s your choice.

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 gotta say, as someone who also limits interaction with liberals, this seems a bit extreme, but, okay then.

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.

Ain't nothing weird about that, I've done the same thing, you can book on them abandoning you before you abandon them
