A group funded by billionaire Elon Musk is offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition in opposition to “activist judges,” a move that comes two weeks before the state’s Supreme Court election and after the political action committee made a similar proposal last year in battleground states.
It saddens me that half the country (including my parents) is so far up his ass that they think this is okay.
I have cut all Trumpers, friends and family, out of my personal life. I have to say, after the initial drama subsided it’s been much more peaceful.
Depends on how many were in your life to begin with. My parents were the only ones I still associated with until a month or so ago, and it’s been pretty awful if I’m going to be honest.
That’s because that isn’t a healthy thing to do in the first place. These people are essentially drowning and cutting them out of your life indiscriminately is like speeding away in a boat while you hope they manage to float to an island.
Having a tough conversation with them about your honest concerns is the only way to fix what people have become. It’s okay to tell them that their lack of empathy is making you feel sad/depressed. Don’t just tell them that they’re wrong and need to change their mind. Pick a specific thing they support and tell them what’s making you feel upset and let them ruminate on that. Only they can change their minds, so hopefully they view you as a close enough friend to reconsider their actions or beliefs.
