I dumped her as friend many months ago when I found out she was MAGA. Just got an email message from her saying Trump is in; apparently this is a boast that she was right.
Made me smile. I cannot wait for her to enter the finding out phase. She said Biden was going to raise the price of gas (being MAGA, she is stupid
). Oh, and this will be so much better for her now.
I could not reply because she blocked me, which is ok. Although I did want a chance to say I do not think that means what you think it means, a paraphrase of course. I cannot wait for those fools to find out what they voted for. The harder it hits them, the more I like it. I know, I should be ashamed...

(70,942 posts)...who many of us suspected was a RW troll that used to send nastygrams by DU PM but had his mailbox closed to relies.
After 43 got re-elected, he confirmed those suspicions by outing himself as a RW buffoon.
So, blocking responses to flame messages is not new, and nobody appears to be immune. Not even us at DU.

(66,840 posts)quite correct wait till the crap hits the fan, or to those who voted for this POS Felon , and those who did not vote at all. They will be in a world of hurt. Also the felon will be making many enemies. Bullies need to be put in their place. The picture of how Speaker Pelosi stood pointing her finger at the felon, that is what he needs. Put that bastard in his place.

(2,533 posts)that the plan has been to 25th amendment trump out shortly after he gets in. I suspect that many rs in office would prefer to deal with Vance rather than demented Donny, perhaps even Pootie would prefer him. If that should happen, I will regret not writing back to this b!tch with a simple Trump is out.
But waiting for her to go grocery shopping in a while and oranges are $10 apiece, and every Walmart price has doubled gives me something to look forward to. I know that we all will have the same problem, but the silver lining is that they were duped into it and some of them may finally understand that when there is no Biden to blame. And even if they still blame us
.doesnt change the fact that they cant afford to buy anything any more.

(24,482 posts)election, but instead, they should be respectful still, of you, and don't throw it in your face.
Don't be afraid (I don't think you are), in standing up for your feelings, your opinions, your whatever you feel about.
You have just as much of a right to express yourself vs. this MAGA insect (my words), she is rubbing this in your face, 'trump is in' duhhhh. Signs of a high intelligence, I think not.
Take care and thanks for the scoop.

(2,533 posts)I think I still have her personal email address somewhere but I am not bothering with this. No need to be nasty, she will be finding out that I was right soon enough.

(24,482 posts)like this in our lives. Worthless POS. You probably have (or can get at least) 1000 friends much better than her, which goes a long way in saying what's she like. I wonder what's she is like w/ her supposedly other friends, probably the same way. People who tend to mouth off w/ insensitive remarks tend to always 'mouth off'.
I too, in my life have ended dealing w/ such people, and the relief and freedom I have as a result afterwards is unmeasurable. Best wishes to you!!

(2,533 posts)Normally I would absolutely agree. But now we are talking moneyhe is going to devastate the economy. Lets say she cant make her mortgage payment. She goes to the bank to try to work out a payment plan or something. The guy she talks to happens to be a Democrat. So he tells her hes sorry, but trumps tax breaks for his billionaire friends, along with his new regulations, makes it impossible for them to have any wiggle room for her. They could have made adjustments under Biden, but not under trump. Oh, sorry. And she gets evicted. Its just possible as she is living out of her car that the tiniest micro-molecule of sense will burst in her brain and for 5 seconds she will wonder if this is because of trump? And then of course she will decide thats not possible. But it was there for a few seconds.
Think. Again.
(19,695 posts)...but I'm also sorry that you lost a friend, and hope you will grieve that loss well.

(75,906 posts)I have made an effort to avoid old friends who now self-identify as maga. I mean to the extent possible. I'm retired from the field of mental health, and while I know these people do not have mental illness as individuals, they do suffer from something between mental health and illness. They are not well in that sense. I feel compassion for these people. The hostile ones that are 100% focused upon Amendment 2 issues, not so much.

There's no we.
There's I or Me.
Me - I can't wait to see the shit that's going to rain down on AmeriKKKa
Pro Tip - Join a black church. That's where "going behind their back" as our grandparents did is going to be going on.

(23,777 posts)My husband sent him a 2 page email highlighting how he was mistaken with facts to back up his arguments. My husband worked on that response for 2 days! Its been day 4 and he hasnt gotten a response.
My husband has a lot more patience than I do I would have stopped being friends with him when he started spouting that garbage years ago supporting the 🍑💩🤡.
