If you voted for Trump in this last election, and somehow may still have me included on your “friends” list, please “unfriend” me.
If you “follow” me, you should unfollow me. If I unfollow you, it will be the result of you posting something that shows support for those that I cannot philosophically support.
I respect that you are entitled to have your own opinions and beliefs, but voting for him clearly shows that we do not share the same philosophies and moral values.
Friends care about each other.
Friends treat each other with compassion, trust, and respect.
It has been said that politics shouldn’t tear families or friendship apart, but it will because at some point a line has to be established. Consequences for actions must be felt, or what’s the point of having beliefs and values?
In this “free” society, everyone chooses and then, consequences occur based on the decisions they make.
I can no longer pretend that your ignoring his past behavior, his lies and antics – is somehow okay.
I can no longer pretend that your ignoring his basic beliefs about almost everything, is somehow okay.
You may not think that by voting for him, you support that which I wrote of, but in you do. You just don’t see that or acknowledge it.
With a clear conscience, I cannot recognize you as a friend if you voted for Trump.
Clearly our fundamental norms for acceptable behavior, cannot bridge the vastness of our differences.
This goes far beyond, agreeing to disagree.
If you cannot see that, it only supports how different we are.
For some, this request may shock you, for that I am sorry.
Maybe, one day you will understand, if you care to even try.
I am far too old to worry about ruining a “friendship” that was not based on a shared agreement of common decency.
With what little time I have left in this lifetime, I choose to spend it with those that I respect and love.
Meanwhile, I will pray for blessings upon you.
Goodbye
