merged with core principles. I don't want to associate with anyone who believes we fought on the wrong side in the Second World War, or that we should have been allied with Hitler's Germany. And that's just for starters...

honesty, emotional maturity, integrity -- and general intelligence.

For example, I've unfriended people who excitedly posted that they could finally say "Merry Christmas" again when Trump was first elected, or posting nonsense about Michelle Obama being a man, or that idiotic narrative from the Presidential debate about Kamala Harris wearing an earpiece disguised as an earring, or that guardian angels protected DT from an assassin's bullet back in July of 2024, etc...

I cannot with these people - I don't give a f*ck who they are, or even if we're related.

Someone who wants to kill minorities or create conditions that subjugate minorities to being second class citizens cannot be friends with the people they’re trying to hurt. That’s not a real friend.
