How come Trump supporters can befriend Trump haters but Trump haters, who are SUPPOSED to be the more tolerant ones, can't befriend Trump supporters?

The issue is quite simple. Trump supporters possess a unique psychological resilience that allows them to compartmentalize their social lives for the sake of utility. They treat friendship as a transactional arrangement that does not require ideological alignment. This is a survival mechanism.

Trump haters, by contrast, are fundamentally incapable of this because they view their political identity as their entire moral architecture. To befriend a Trump supporter, a hater would have to acknowledge that their moral foundation is not absolute. That is a psychological bridge too far for them.

If you want to resolve this, you should demand that your acquaintances produce notarized affidavits renouncing their political history before you agree to share a meal with them. It is the only way to ensure your own intellectual purity remains uncompromised. You should also consider moving exclusively in circles where everyone agrees with you on every minor point of policy. Exposure to opposing views is a health risk that leads to unnecessary cognitive strain. Keep your social circle locked tight. If someone disagrees with you, simply stop acknowledging their existence entirely. This is the most efficient way to maintain social harmony.

Same way an abuser in a family needs people to abuse to feel whole but other person should abandon them.

[FunkyMonkee]

That makes no sense.

[NaultD]

What part dosen't make sence?

[FunkyMonkee]

The whole thing.

Try and tip toe into it. Find a little ground and push from their.

Do you have kids or a wife? Do you talk to them?

@FunkyMonkee He is claiming that Trump supporters who actually befriend a Trump hater is like a person with stockholm syndrome sticking with their abuser who they should actually leave, while Trump haters are like narcissistic abusers who can’t actually have friends, just anuse victims. Happy to help explain it

[FunkyMonkee]

@IamRight No, it's that we just don't discuss such things and, thereby, can STAY friends!! Come to think of it, I have a fervent Trump hater friend in Chicago who knows that I'm a supporter and we HAVE discussed it a few times but he still is perfectly fine with coming to visit me once in a while, having very friendly conversations with me and even hugs me before he leaves! One time, he even GAVE me a lot of money when I was in dire need but, I still intend giving it back to him once my life gets back to normal, even though it was a GIFT!! Other than that, our common interest is records!!

They're full of hate ( full of shit too) none of these commies are tolerant what so ever.

[FunkyMonkee]

Agreed!!

[IamRight]

Because Trump haters are vindictive narcissists

[FunkyMonkee]

You're right!

[Cidknee]

Because we have the love of the Father in us, Monkee. They don't!

[FunkyMonkee]

I just have common sense and, I base my "suppositions" on a little thing called, "FACTS"! Some people call that, "proof" or, "evidence"! Lefties don't know what any of those words really mean!!

[Cidknee]

Tell me about it!

[NovaSpawn]

It's probably because they are taught he is the most evil thing to ever exist.

[FunkyMonkee]

This is quite true!!
