Mine involves one of those "fuck you got mine" well-off gay men that decided to abandon the left (and for the most part, my friendship with him) entirely as soon as gay marriage was legally protected at a federal level.
I tried to catch up with him years later, but by that point, he started with a rant about how "commies were the ones that killed people like me. Are you still a commie, Ulysses?" and when I pushed back just a little about that incendiary statement I found out that he was supporting fucking :trump-anguish: because of that rainbow flag stunt back in 2016.
I haven't talked to him after that. :doomer:
One extremely sad, gun-related crime in my neighborhood brought out the worst pro-cop, anti-black garbage from my neighbors who still have Biden/Harris signs up. Nothing about supporting the victim’s family, let alone systemic issues. Just we need more cops and less of “those people.”
My uncle is like this, he's the only liberal in my entire family. There was one gun related crime near him, cops were called and engaged in a shoot-out. Well, my uncle now has a new motto about how there should be more cops, but they should "shoot for the legs." Because he still regards himself as some socially progressive liberal.
Every time I visit him he's convinced I'm extremely right wing because I tell him his democratic politicians of choice (He likes Joe Kennedy III and Beto O'Rourke) are absolute losers. I'll tell him I'm a commie and he just laughs and says "me too."
Is your uncle Joe Biden
