Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Should You Re-Friend the People You have De-Friended Over This Election?I wish I was the kind of guy who would say something human and warm like "Of course you shouldn't let politics affect personal relationships," but I'm not. In fact, I earlier told someone to that effect, when he tossed some bonhomie my way. I basically said "Thanks, but it's not reciprocated, so I'm sparing you further efforts in this vein." This New York Post article discusses it. Here's my actual belief: Yes, if you have a genuine personal attachment to someone, then of course you should not only be open to, but actually make efforts towards, the prospect of reconciliation. On the other hand, we all know collectively "know" a great many more people than we used to know. Before social media, we actually knew people. We'd know, say, 5 people dearly, 10 people closely, 50 people warmly, and 100 more people indifferently. And that was about it for people you knew. Now we "know" a lot of people we don't really know at all. We merely see them on the internet. Some of these Fake Internet friends are real friends (given time, or frequency of contact). Most of them aren't, and it's a bit silly to pretend these Fake Internet Friends are anything other than they actually are, which are people whose paths you just happened to not-really-cross-at-all by dint of having a (weak) mutual interest in wasting time on the Internet. So yes, real friends should be re-affiliated. The rest of them are just so much detritus that floated past your transom. I was talking to another person who seemed upset that those who once called her friend were now treating her viciously. Who are these people to you?, I asked her. Are they really anyone at all? Are they people you see on Twitter and maybe have brief, inconsequential and rote conversations with at CPAC once a damn year? If they're the latter -- who cares? I guess I'm kind of saying apply Konami or whatever it's called to relationships -- keep what you love, discard the clutter. Or, as it's already been discarded -- allow this to be a Hoarder Happy Ending and leave things well-discarded discarded. Note this advice does not apply to anyone you actually like or respect or have broken bread with, though of course it's a sliding scale. Some relationships are, by their nature, very superficial and in fact very circumstantial. As Tim observed on the British "The Office," most people you see at work -- or on Twitter -- are merely people you "share a patch of carpet with for 8 hours a day." If you leave your job tomorrow, how many people would you actually make any effort to keep up with? As far as the internet, most people only know each other by one way: By their thoughts. That's good and bad. Some people like the internet because the physical and pheremonal aspects of affiliation are removed from the equation. But as the only thing connecting you to most Fake Internet Friends are in fact their thoughts, and not any sort of deep kinship or long history that would make those relationships more real and permanent -- if you've decided you don't care for their thoughts, what remains to bind you? Eh. As some comedian observed, social media -- email, he meant, but now texting and Twitter -- keeps a lot of "zombie relationships" alive -- barely -- when maybe the cycle of life would suggest that what is of the earth should be returned to the earth. This may sound a bit severe, but the sort of "difficult, complicated relationships" we used to have were with people we had a deep natural affiliation to -- a sister. A mother. A father. A spouse or a lover. Maybe a friend one's had since youth. But those are deep relationships; difficulties are to be tolerated. I can't help but think the breezy, superficial light relationships we have are supposed to be rather easy. They are, after all, for purposes of mutual enjoyment, and i'm not sure enjoyment should take a lot of work.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I wouldn't, but only because I've only unfriended the people who I wasn't ever really friends with in the first place. I've been considering going through and removing a bunch of people en-masse, but that's a lot of work and I'm on social media because I'm lazy, not because I like work.

------------ Based on my own personal observations, this is true, but eventually the only ones kept alive are the ones you really want to keep alive. Social media can extend relationships but it will not make them permanent. Then again, I'm not on facebook - that may be an exception. Posted by: SH at November 08, 2016 04:39 PM (gmeXX) 18

Larger point -- I demur when political conversations get nasty, so I've never lost a friend over politics.
I've seen too many family members (and family friends) "break up" over political conversations. Hardly seems worth it to me. At the end of the day, I don't really care who Cousin Doofus votes for. And I'd rather not have strife with people I have to see at family gatherings and other social events. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 08, 2016 04:39 PM (cJrMO) 20
I have a good friend of mine who, whenever he introduces me to friends says "one of my oldest friends and the smartest person I know." And yet he is totally in the tank for Hillary and liberalism in general. In fact, in '08 I lit into him in an e-mail and we didn't talk for almost 6 months. He's now annoying the shit out of another mutual friend who is his best friend for over 40 years. I told him to let it go. I plan on asking him, "doesn't it bother you that you consider me the smartest person you know and yet I hold opinions on things 180 degrees opposite of your own? Hmm?" Anyway, if these people don't mean that much to you in the first place, drop 5 and punt. Life is too short. AND STAY THE HELL OFF OF SOCIAL-IST MEDIA. Posted by: J.J.

That being said, I think we need a new category of relationship for people we primarily keep in contact with on-line. It's not to say that' it's not "real" because it is (unless I"m actually the only person on the internet and you're all bots). But a relationship that you keep up with someone via facebook/text/snapchat/etc. isn't really the same as one where you see the person on a regular basis.

Oh, I moved a boat-load of them over to 'Don't follow' a long time ago, and added a few during the last few months.
My view on social media, is that it takes the place of hanging around at your friend's crib when your friend lives 1800 miles away. If your friend got in the habit of showing up at your place with an electric megaphone and started spewing Donk talking points you'd stop hiding the key where he could find it tout m'fing suite. Same same for those puds that think I just need to be 'informed'. Thanks for your kind intentions, but I really think that now all that is left is that you blow me. Besides, one of my brother-in-laws is an exact ringer for Aqualung, so who wants to start the day looking at THAT? But it saves the sturm und drang of actually un-friending them. Too 'Drama Club' for me. Much easier to set phasers to 'ignore'. Posted by: Sort-of-Mad Max at November 08, 2016 04:41 PM (nd1zx) 30

A couple years ago, I deleted my Facebook account. Well, disabled or whatever. You know what I mean. I had almost 1,000 "friends." In violation of their terms of service, I started up a new account under a fake name. I re-friended a handful. Added distant family. I have about 50 friends now. It's much better. These are truly friends. I only accept friend requests of folks I know in meat space. Maybe I'm restricting myself, and giving up on some really rewarding and fulfilling friendships (what about that guy from Australia?), but no. Not doing it. It's much more manageable this way, and there will be no unfriending because Amy voted for Hillary. Our relationship is much more solid than that.

Never been on Farcebook so I have no one to "re-friend."
In-laws are all drooling liberals, except for husband's elderly aunt, who has a half-dozen Trump signs in her yard at the retirement village where she lives near her sister (my lib m-i-l). Husband's youngest brother *may* have seen the light these past eight years. Hoping he voted Trump. Pretty sure his girlfriend did. Son voted last week, and all his vet friends voted Trump, of course. Anyhow, if Trump wins, we won't do what the lib in-laws always do, and that's gloat like hell. We'll just be extra cheerful over the holidays when we're around them. *sigh* *praying* Posted by: Jane D'oh, Deplorable Redneck Queen at November 08, 2016 04:44 PM (PY9jH) 52

I'm all for apologizing. But it's on the people who called their loved ones names and cut ties to apologize FIRST. And, behaviorally speaking, it's usually the left-wingers in the family who were intolerant to the point of cutting ties (or, if you're from a predominantly liberal family, organizing pogroms).
If a member of my family treated me as less-than-human because I don't see the world the way they do, I'm not racing to my phone to make any calls. But will I take a call? Sure.

I've only unfriended one person, and blocked him temporarily as we have many common friends and acquaintances. I hope to maintain friendship with him in real life, but I dont expect I'll be seeing him any time soon as he lives on the other side of the nation.
correction I unfriended him for saying terrible things about gun owners after Sandy Hook, I blocked him for being a sniveling, toxic, patronizing ass over the election. I won't be adding him back. I am going to do a great deal of unfollowing on twitter tomorrow win or lose. I need to jettison some alt-right types I've been following to get some information, and I'll be dumping 40 or 50 GOP Smartset types.

Also, related, but I think social media and Twitter especially have ruined our ability to argue and disagree and persuade. The instant communication nature has turn communication from trying to sway an opinion to a snark fest. How bad can I burn this guy? It's no longer about listening to your opponent and offering a retort, but about screaming invectives at each other. It's all schoolyard shouting matches that devolve into "your mother" insults. Frustrating, really.

Not sure they would easily forgive me, even my own dad, if they found out how I voted. I plan to just tell them "I voted my conscience" and leave it at that.

I took a (totally unrelated to the election) hiatus from Facebook that started in Spring so I've missed the carnage but I imagine it was brutal on social media.
I wonder how many real-life actual friendships were ruined over social media this year because of this election. I totally get where Ace is coming from. I'm just tired of this shit. Even if you win, you lose. The process itself is soul-crushing. It is very difficult to find any reason to fight other than pure spite at this point. I'm just not a bitter enough person to blow up my life for an abstraction. This makes me part of the problem but that doesn't change my incentives. For people like me with a family and a mortgage the fight seems really far away. And it is far away. Until it's not. But by then it'll be too late. If it isn't already.

The late, lamented BFF was the most important person in my world. She was, more or less, my entire world. Our politics were so polar opposite that at the extremes they would begin to meet.
You know what we did? We didn't discuss politics. Bam. Done. As someone who struggles with being very petty, I think it's important to be able to take a breath and say okay I am going to remember that this person who upset me, I mean really upset me, over something political also shares other interests and other political beliefs and, get this, is actually entitled to believe differently than I do and, get this even more, is actually entitled to state those beliefs and disagree with me too. I got into a bit of a twitter spat with someone last night, someone towards whom I feel well. I was not best pleased. But today acknowledgements were made that we were talking past one another and things were patched up because, seriously, people can disagree. Except, I mean, I always right but besides that. I do like the point about letting casual relationships go. If someone is in your orbit and all they do is cause you annoyance, then it's okay to let that go. But if not? Is it really worth the loss of enjoyment in your own life to shove that person away? Really? Obligatory: Taking any social cues from me is done at your own peril.

I would say that in past elections, one might decide to put political differences aside, and resume a friendship interrupted by them.
Now? Nope. No way. In 1985, two friends might have disagreed about the top tax rate -- the Democrat friend might think it should be 41%, and the Republican 34%. Now, we're arguing about whether or not every sector of the economy should be government-run. We're arguing about whether people should lose their jobs, permanently (and become unemployable pariahs) if they don't profess their love for gay marriage, or suggest that "all lives matter". Whether or not the law should apply equally to all men, regardless of caste. The two sides are too far apart now. There's no forgiving or overlooking the fact that this man, who you once knew, apparently thinks that the ruling class is above the law and that your thought-crimes should be punished and controlled. Find new friends, like-minded classically liberal friends. There are plenty of them out there to choose from.

I have never discussed politics on FB and stopped making even infrequent comments on political posts. But it's became so sickening to start reading and see people who can't lay off making political posts and sharing stupid memes ground out at piecework rates by otherwise unemployable SJWs in some Soros-funded boiler room. Being too kindhearted to unfriend people - the only way to earn that is to insult Madame - I took to unfollowing them. Even this was too wearying, so a few months ago I just logged off, probably never to return. I still keep the account in the remote case someone wants to get in touch, but: no, no more. Progs ruin everything they touch by insisting on sprinkling the Pu-239 of politics over it. I'm going into self-exile to keep away from it.

Over 100 comments now, so OT: it took me 50 minutes to vote this afternoon. I got in line (no longer out to the street as it was this morning) at 2:22. By the time I left, the line had grown longer. The crowd was overwhelmingly caucasian--which is a bit different from my previous experiences at this precinct--with various ages present.

I'm fine with having friends and relatives with differing opinions. I'm used to being in the ideological minority with most of my co-workers, but we all remain civil. What I could not abide about Facebook was the incessant drive-by snark from lefties who felt compelled to crow their opinions morning, noon, and night. I killed it about 18 months ago, and don't miss it one bit.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 08, 2016 04:46 PM (cJrMO) From her page - she doesn't say who she voted for. This election has made me angry. Its destroyed my love of politics in less than 8 months. In February, I went to a political rally to watch a presidential candidate speak. You couldn't pay me to do that today. It's made me leave social media because I'm so sick of hearing about it. But worst of all, It's made me furious to see people (on both sides) on their high horse, preaching to everyone who doesn't feel the same way so condescendingly it makes me want to throw up. "I feel bad for you republicans who think this misogynistic asshole could run our country" "Laughing at the Hillary picketers on the way to work this morning" You know who deserves pity? People who let a political election destroy their relationships with other human beings. Yes. I will vote today. And it is no one's damn business for whom I vote, and certainly nobody's place to tell me that I'm somehow wrong. I invite you all to do the same, and then shut up about politics for a while, and mend your personal relationships. One nation, under God, indivisible.

It depends on if you can disagree and still respect each other. I have friends who don't have beliefs similar to mine. Some of them, I've known most of my life at this point. But we're friends. We like each other, we treat each other nicely.
If you have NeverTrumpers in your life who are like that, stay friends. If they dumped you over Trump, then you might just want to let the relationship go. My circle of friends is smaller now than it was when I was younger and that's not a good thing. Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards at November 08, 2016 05:07 PM (hR1Jj) 242
>>The Huffington Post reported : "People are flocking to Susan B. Anthony's grave on Election Day"
Am I the only one who finds this pathetic? All sorts of tweet with comments like, "If you want a good cry..." or "Regardless of who you're voting, you cannot help but be moved by this." Srsly? Also, defacing her gravestone w/stickers is so disrespectful. Reminds me of the impromptu memorials w/flowers, teddy bears and handwritten poems at terror attack sites. Virtue-signalling at its worst. Posted by: Lizzy at November 08, 2016 05:07 PM (NOIQH) Posted by: Meremortal, Bigly Matters at November 08, 2016 05:07 PM (3myMJ) 244

Idea for a new reality show. When Trump wins, right after he is sworn in, he takes the mike and announces "Order 66 is effective". Then the US military kicks in Alec Baldwin's door and hustles him out the door. They load his ass in a C130 and tell him he said he was going to leave and they are just there to help him out.
They strap his fat ass into a parachute and tell him they are dropping him in a 3rd World country with other celebrities who said they were leaving. Then, they actually drop them in Detroit! Cameras follow them around until they realize they are in Detroit and not some third world country. Bonus points are rewarded if they come across another celebrity and slaughter them for sustenance.

I find the premise odd.
Counting out heat-of-the-moment temper tantrums, if you cut ties with someone over politics, it was because their position on *politics/policy* (or their temperament) was always a prime factor in the *personal* relationship, implicitly or explicitly. You're not considering refriending as much as befriending, inasmuch as it would be a totally different relationship on totally different grounds. Saying "politics shouldn't affect personal relationships" is really saying "your personal relationships shouldn't be founded on politics, " which isn't very helpful. Some relationships will be, and politics will (and should) affect them. Posted by: GetzelR at November 08, 2016 05:08 PM (XF1aH) 249

Ever since my hard core gaming years, and guild mates (aka "online friends"), I've drawn an invisible wall with online relationships and my real life. It was an eye opener back then.
I had "friends" in a guild on WoW for years, who when the Walker thing was going on fighting the unions went crazy online and I fought back stupidly and they decided I was Satan incarnate and hated me with the burning heat of ten thousand suns. It was insane, they went absolutely batcrap. I suspect that its possible that both of them being recently pregnant was causing them to have some hormonal problems, but I'm not sure.

"It cannot but be extremely difficult to preserve private
kindness in the midst of public opposition, in which it will necessarily be involved a thousand incidents, extending their influence to conversation and privacy. Men engaged, by moral or religious motives, in contrary parties will generally look with different eyes upon every man, and decide almost every question upon different principles. When such occasions of dispute happen, to comply is to betray our cause, and to maintain friendship by ceasing to deserve it; to be silent is to lose the happiness and dignity of independence, to live in perpetual constraint, and to desert, if not to betray; and who shall determine which of two friends shall yield, where neither believes himself mistaken, and both confess the importance of their question? What then remains but contradiction and debate? and from those what can be what can be expected but acrimony and vehemence, the insolence of triumph, the vexation of defeat, and, in time, a weariness of contest, and an extinction of benevolence? Exchange of endearments and intercourse of civility may continue, indeed, as boughs may for a while be verdant when the root is wounded; but the poison of discord is infused, and though the countenance may preserve its smile, the heart is hardening and contracting."

The thing to remember in online encounters is that people don't deliberately lie, but they are very controlled in what the present as themselves. And since we don't know any different, human nature makes us fill in the gaps with what we presume or would like them to be.

Changes to be sought.
1) Only citizens may vote. Take a look at where Democrat votes came from in the 2012 map, in Texas for example. https://tinyurl.com/oyf5k3n 2) All Supreme Court Justices should be appointed to a term fixed in years, but can be reappointed, or even made to have their appointment confirmed by the voters after a period of years. Would David Souter have been able to stay on the court this way? How about Earl Warren? We just have to construct this in such a way as not to imperil the next Scalia.

I live in NYC and work in the media, so I have lots of long-time friends and short-term work colleagues all over the country who I keep in touch with via Facebook, and 99% are full-on leftist Socialists. Most of them know my political philosophy, and my close friends and I enjoy arguing and disagreeing with good humor. I'm not as open with some of my short-term colleagues, however, because they would enthusiastically blacklist me and try to keep me from working ever again because I'm not a Communist. Basically, I just don't get into political arguments on Facebook and always assert my passionate disagreement with the idea that "the personal is the political". I encourage all my friends to have souls.

I'm not on Facebook at all which makes me particularly glad now as I would have been tempted to unfriend some people over their obnoxious devotion to Hillary.
I had a falling out with a friend in 1991 over the Iraq war and it took years to get back to normal. I was for and she was against, she thought Kuwait wasn't worth it. How was I to know Papa Bush and Colin Powell would fritter away General Schwatzcofp's victory by leaving Saddam in place? Then I was for W's second Gulf war but he mismanaged the aftermath just like dad. At least my friend agreed with me over that war. Posted by: Decaf at November 08, 2016 05:14 PM (8zHLN) 324
Interesting. Votes in Pinellas County FL are now exceeding the votes in 2012.
Obama won the county by 25K in 2012. GOP returns (including absentee and early votes) are 177K, Dem 167K, and Ind 110K. Unless the Ind in FL goes for Clinton or a lot of buses of Dems show up in 3 hours, Trump will take Pinellas easily. Posted by: Dave in Fla at November 08, 2016 05:14 PM (wfDW1) 325

Remember that the exit polls need to be validated against actual votes. CNN of all people was actually really transparent during the primaries on updating the exit poll data as real votes came in on their website. The M/F, race, etc vote percentage changed throughout the evening as votes were counted. Usually the actual voting is better for republicans vs the exit polling, but the data before being matched against actual votes is always off and while another promising data point, don't pop champaign yet. Just means it will be a long night because everyone will now have to report before any calls can be made.

Posted by: Nip Sip at November 08, 2016 05:19 PM (NbJXF) Right, if MI and FL go red, Trump has a very good chance of winning. I wouldn't put any money in MI, though. he'll need OH, FL, NV, AZ, NH, NC, GA, and ME2 to break his way. (of the toss up states, obv. he needs the other states too) But MI or PA changes that whollle calculus. But both seem unlikely to me.

Ace,
It's one thing to have a disagreement in theory, or in principle, or even in tactics. As long as it stays on the intellectual level, and both maintain mutual respect for the other person, it's all good. But when the arguments devolve to personal insults, and aspersions to the character of a person based on the other persons desire to win a point, then they're not acting like a friend. That's what we've all been faced with for the last decade, in real life and not just social media. How many real life relationships have been broken by the all-pervasive politization of everything? Who hasn't cut out or been cut out of someone's life over this kind of thing? By their fruit you shall know them and all that jazz. I'll not re-friend someone who has gotten dirty or personal in the quest of a political point, they are not friends. Sad, but such is as it is. Posted by: OneEyedJack at November 08, 2016 05:27 PM (kKHcp) 456
My wife has been NeverTrump for 6 months now. She hates his nastiness and "sexism". I've been telling her "oh well, I guess we'll just balance each other out", and "I don't really care that much who wins. They're both horrible." Then this morning, she informs me she'll be reluctantly voting for Trump. And who was it who talked her into it? It was her Girl Scouts co-leader! And it was the unchecked immigration that scared her straight.

"This may sound a bit severe, but the sort of "difficult, complicated relationships" we used to have were with people we had a deep natural affiliation to -- a sister. A mother. A father. A spouse or a lover. Maybe a friend one's had since youth.
But those are deep relationships; difficulties are to be tolerated." The problems we face in this country go way beyond "difficulties to be tolerated." The Founding Fathers had "difficulties" with the Crown that pale in comparison to what is going on today. Yet a significant portion of this country is ok with those difficulties that will destroy the nation.

I've largely given up on social media. I briefly had Facebook and Twitter accounts some years ago but I quickly gave them up. I have an Instagram account but I'm considering letting it go too, since it's run but Zuck and his Facebook Nazis. I still have a blog on Blogger but it has gone quiet in recent months. I'll probably keep that for archive status.
I really have no intention of being friends in real life with people who fundamentally hate me and what I stand for. So no, I will not continue to be friends with those people on the net either. Posted by: Commissar M at November 08, 2016 05:32 PM (2hBMl) 491

I would be suspicious of anything resembling Exit polling, even from "reliable" sources that aren't in the tank for Hillary.
I still remember I think I was coming home from work early and hearing that the exit polling showed a Kerry win, I think even Sean Hannity was telling his listeners about it. Obviously it was wrong, and this was after the media had egg all over its face in 2000 and they had promised to fix everything this time. Posted by: Maritime at November 08, 2016 05:32 PM (KCRj3) 494

Trump loses if R's turn against him more than D's turn against Hillary or he loses independents. Unless I'm missing something based on what I am seeing I would rather be Trump than Hillary right now, but Im not privy to what the exit polls are showing which might show Trump leaking his base or independents truly aren't with him.

Once more: exit polls aren't. They are statistical trash, they hold zero value whatsoever, and tell you nothing. Even if they end up accurately stating the end results, its by sheer coincidence, not any mathematical procedure.
Exit polling is exclusively people who want to talk to pollsters, its not remotely scientific or in any remotest way random or representative of anyone except people who like to talk to pollsters. They tell you nothing, not good, not bad, nothing of value. They only exist to give 24 hour news sites something to talk about.

My weird situation is that 100% of my "friends" on the Internet are people with whom I share similar political ideals, while 100% of my friends in real are people whose politics I utterly despise.
So as a result I don't really have any "full spectrum friends" -- people I like interpersonally whom I also agree with philosophically. It's either one half or the other. My only solution is to completely cleave the two types of relationships in twain: I NEVER discuss politics with my real-life friends, and I NEVER meet in meat-space or discuss personal matters with online friends. Does that make me a 21st Century Schizoid Zombie? Yes. Yes it does.

I find it easier, this election, to think well of those who have voted differently than I did.
Since all choices (including Green and Libertarian) Suck so much, I can't really fault someone who did the analysis and came up with a different answer. And even those who are hard-line partisans, it is easier for me to give them the benefit of the doubt, and pretend that they really voted their conscience, instead of the jerk who had the right letter by their name. Furthermore, the absolute awfulness of Clintrump can be used as a uniting factor. We can all bond over how we hated voting for who we voted for. So reach out to that estranged relative. Look forward to a new day, and deal with the issues that matter -- what kind of booze to drown your sorrows. The best type of soap to wash the slime off of you after coming back from the polling place. What caliber of hand gun fits best in your mouth to finally end the pain.

Keep in mind that if Trump holds NC (the only Romney/2012 state in doubt) and picks up both Ohio and Florida, then he would win the election with the addition of just Pennsylvania and tie with the addition of just Michigan. And there are ways to win without either of them.
Pennsylvania going for Trump would make for an early night, but it isn't essential. Posted by: My Ridiculously Circuitous Plan at November 08, 2016 05:43 PM (EIB5Y) 582

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 08, 2016 05:36 PM (39g3+) Apparently, the news organizations pay big bucks to these firms to run out with a clipboard and jump people as they are exiting a polling station about how they voted. Because the news all want to be "First" with calling races so you'll tune in. So they send these pollsters to what they think are representative polling places. Do not believe them.

-Only soldiers deployed overseas and the confirmed infirm should be able to vote by mail. -No early voting, everyone votes on the day the constitution dictates, and only on that day. -All polls open and close at the times listed, with no variations of any kind barring massive disaster (volcano, SMOD, etc) -Any state that fails to clean up its voting registry of dead and out of state voters loses all federal dollars for a year. -Voter fraud punishable by death. -All polls must require picture ID, and any poll worker failing to ask for this should be immediately taken out and beaten with canes, replaced by someone who will.

Real life friends are mostly liberal or at best moderate conservatives (deep blue state reality). The libs are tougher to deal with when their side is out of power.

Posted by: Grump928(c) at November 08, 2016 05:44 PM (QQ+il) Of course he would have been one of those that if someone like Jeb was the nominee demanding all us stupid rubes fall in line and vote for him no matter what.

Posted by: Jen the original at November 08, 2016 05:49 PM (oDUj/) I still laugh my ass off at the Helms vs Gantt race. They got the polls to stay open for four more hours in Durham and Gantt, a black guy, actually drove through the projects trying to get more brothers to vote. Helms got the Federal Appeals court to stay the democrat judges order and they closed the polls. They tried to steal it, but Helm's people where on the case.

If you're voting to destroy my country, my culture, my income, my industry, my child's future, and the country's credit -- fuck you. That's why I "unfriended you."
Think about it: if you're voting for a demonstrably corrupt, pathological liar, who's physically unfit for the office, whose policies have been failures in the past, and are uniformly dangerous going forward, who thinks the biggest problems in America are "xenophobia" and "homopbobia" -- fuck you.

" As some comedian observed, social media -- email, he meant, but now
texting and Twitter -- keeps a lot of "zombie relationships" alive -- barely -- when maybe the cycle of life would suggest that what is of the earth should be returned to the earth." Pick and choose from those good relationships, perhaps developing the part that was good, without having to work out all the messy parts that made them imperfect as a life partner. I have a several FB friends I dated (a few I coulda/shoulda? married) that were awesome but moved on. Now a decade or three away, we enjoy sharing not a zombie relationship, just a non-intimate thing which can actually be pretty nifty. The physical part can be "returned to the earth", but the other parts (if there were those, hopefully) could be richer than ever, as wisdom matures us. Youth is wasted on the young ... but social media lets us revisit parts of what was missed, from a deeper perspective. Has worked for me, at least.

That's where I live--the government drones are only just starting to get home from work. Voting is heaviest here before 7, after 5, with lines down the sidewalk as closing time approaches. Posted by: barbarausa at November 08, 2016 06:02 PM (Elk67) 754
I already knew that my "actual" friends who are voting Hillary were idiots. I'm friends with them anyway...so why would I change anything today? Of course there are social media people who I "followed" who have turned out to be idiots, unexpectedly. Some I dropped, some I still follow - hoping for the best. but i "know" them better now. and it's been an eye-opener.

I have exactly 7 fb "friends". 2 are family, 1 is a close friend of 40 years, 3 are former co-workers and one is a local conservative dj. None can post on my timeline. They can comment if I post something, but I never do. I follow no one (I'll go to their page if I want to know what's new.) It's just a way of sharing photos for me. One of my co-workers has >2000 "friends". I feel pretty certain if we lined them all up he would only know about 30 percent of their names. Yeah, friends.

To answer your question in the post, Ace ? The answer is No. F*ck no! Never.
Why will I not forgive and forget the Hillary/#nevertrumpers?GOPe. Because F*ck You, War. Because these f*ckers conspired with the ultimate, corrupt, morally decrepit, sleazy, treasonous incompetents on the planet to try and give them the White House - and you did so for the ultimate ridiculous reasons: Your own hubris, your own perfidy and your own stupidity. You bought into the MSM/Dem untrue characterization of Trump and, not only that, you helped it, you pushed the memes, you agreed with the lies and amplified and carried them to others. F*ck all these quislings - f*ck them all. I will tell you one thing. Trump is not only as competitive as Mittens - he is more. So I am doubling down on my vitriol on the GOPe/#Nevertrumpers. Imagine where we would be if they all had simply just sh*t th f*ck up every time the MSM ran to them with the latest anti-trump lie. Just imagine. All they had to do was shut up. Just. Shut. The. F*ck. Up. And they could not even do that. F*ck them. F*ck them all. OK - I feel better now. Still cautiously optimistic about tonight, though. Keep voting - Do NOT STOP no matter what.

I have never unfriended someone for their political views. I love to laugh at their views.
Posted by: Rgallegos at November 08, 2016 05:57 PM (FJ1cn) I've taken people out of my newsfeed so I don't have to see their daily, "Trump raped a 13 year old", Trump stole a five year old's lunch', etc . I've had a couple of surprise Democrat friends who are voting for Trump. So by removing the idiots from my newsfeed, I don't have to become enraged at them, I just know who they are now. A couple I had suspicions of and they confirmed it with the Hillary worship. My close friends for the most part are conservative. Let's face it, you typically want to be friends and have interaction with those who maybe aren't an echo chamber for you, but having a commonality makes how you approach activities, hobbies, etc. together much more cooperative. It's just plain more fun. I have a few with common interests but polar opposite political views and we simply do not talk politics anymore. Posted by: Jen the original at November 08, 2016 06:04 PM (oDUj/) 780
Real life friends are mostly liberal or at best moderate conservatives (deep blue state reality). The libs are tougher to deal with when their side is out of power. If Hilary wins, I don't think things are going to be great to say the least. Obama was totally bulletproof, Hilary not so much, so they will be keeping a lower profile as far as politics go (hopefully!).
Posted by: RM at November 08, 2016 05:51 PM (U3LtS) It's funny, but here in the deep blue People's Republic of Retardia, aka California, all of my friends are conservative. I only know of two liberals, one of whom I disliked (thereby joining a big group) long before I found out he was a liberal. I was friendly with the other one until he kind of stabbed me in the back, then had the temerity to ask me to single-handedly* carry out a distasteful plumbing task so that the guests at his daughter's wedding (to which I was not invited, mercifully) to her girlfriend would not be inconvenienced. That tore it. Fuck him. I've never said anything, and there's been no unpleasantness. I just give him a wide berth. *By which I mean he did not ask to borrow tools, or request advice or instruction, or give any indication that he would even assist in any way. He wanted me to come do it all, then go away. Nice. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at November 08, 2016 06:05 PM (SRKgf) Posted by: artisanal 'ette at November 08, 2016 06:05 PM (qCMvj) 782

The challenge will be that no matter who is elected a little less than half the country will despise them.
Trump can remedy that rather quickly with a few actions that show he is none of the Things his critics say he is. Clinton can't because what people hate is what she wants to do. She won't stop her ambitions for unity. In fact she thrives on the divisions and opposition which she belittles and demagogues. Ergo our situation will become much worse. People who vote for her largely forget or don't care that democrats want to rule, not govern. We will be lesser for it. Posted by: Marcus T at November 08, 2016 06:08 PM (TBVdD) 813

Both their daughters are voting Clinton and hinted broadly the parents were as well, and nephew George said he thought the whole family was voting Clinton (except, of course, him.

Husband just called.

Same for a couple of other friends who voted earlier in the morning. However, I heard that there were long lines a couple of towns over.

Really appreciate and am grateful for what Trump has done in this election.
So many masks have been torn away. Have loved his resolve and fighting spirit. This has been very encouraging to me personally, in terms of not knuckling under to the rampant Fascism that has inserted itself into our Government. Makes me more defiant.

Posted by: IC at November 08, 2016 06:07 PM (a0IVu) I don't know why it worked out that way for me, but it did. I didn't select friends based on their political views, and in fact didn't know their views for a long time (as you can appreciate, conservatives stay in the closet in CA). But, for example, I was invited to play on a baseball tournament team with a number of guys I'd played against, but didn't really know. Half a dozen of us drove out in a big van to Las Vegas, and it turned out every one was conservative. After the obligatory feeling out phase, once we realized we all agreed, we started talking politics until we finally agreed to stop, because we were just pissing ourselves off.

>>It would provide a real impetus to the nationalistic, right-wing parties in Europe. That's good and bad, but on balance, good.
Freedom is always a good thing. The old order in Europe based on Frankfurt School policies, which the left here has been trying to shove down our throats for decades, is finally being exposed as being built on lies, corruption and failed policies. People have had enough of being sold that they are "citizens of the world" and being told they must listen to their elites. Breaking old ways is always hard and ugly and exposes some who are extreme in the other direction but a whole lot of people get lumped into those baskets of deplorables. Nationalism is just a slur for pride in your country these days. People want change and they want government to listen to and represent them. That's what it's all about.

When any Republican, especially a former president, makes a point of telling the whole world they did not vote for the R nominee Donald Trump, it's practically an endorsement for the Democrat.

Oh boy. I hate to drop anyone from FB. I usually just hide posts from folks who I find are too moonbatty. But I have a horse with a family in Golden and partly because I know she supports Hillary and partly because the 15 year old girl was a PITA diva when I hauled them to a ride this summer, and in looking back the mom and daughter have always been a bit diva (always bragging about volunteering to clean pens for horses in fire evacuation, cleaned up the pen for the neglected horse where they board yada yada but have never lifted one finger to clean up when I have hauled their horse or when I gave it a few week boot camp 3 years ago) So I have just not wanted to even message them the last several weeks, because I don't do divas and I am not naturally given to "you: do this that and that" do get people who don't offer to help to pitch in .

I thought at the time (and still do) that Jeb should have walked over to Trump's podium and gotten in his face (and slugged him if need be) when Trump said what he said about Bush. For me, family honor should have come first. But on a political level, it probably would have helped Jeb.

THAT IS - for predicting final outcomes, all by themselves. In some circumstances, they can be quite indicative, when combined with other indicators.

So it's okay for Rush to lie about Bush voting for Clinton. People are losing their minds. Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at November 08, 2016 06:13 PM (kaCWe) Uh, maybe you are unaware that Trump was a private citizen, was not a party apparatchik for either party , was not involved in politics, was not a former Republican president or Republican government official. As a private citizen, he had his views that were then brought up during debates he was in as a candidate for President this election cycle. Rather than lie about them , he spoke plainly about his disagreement with the Iraq war, and various other W policies. Unlike Hillary, who voted against the war, until public sentiment polls which Democrats live and die by, showed a majority wanted the USA to remove Hussein from power, then she switched her vote back to yes when the authorization to invade Iraq was presented a second time to the Congress. And who this election cycle, has suddenly been against going into Iraq again and has tried to lie about her vote. So he owed Bush nothing as a private citizen but owed the voting public truthfulness about his opinions and comments while a private citizen during the Iraq war as a candidate. Bush on the other hand, owes Trump as a candidate of the same political party and office that Bush held to at least not attempt to sabotage his campaign. Yes, Bush is a private citizen now. But he will never just be a "private citizen". He uses his former presidency to raise money for charity, to fund his library and archives, etc. He also owes his political party for helping him be elected as first Gov. of Texas and then President of the USA. And sabotaging his party candidate doesn't repay that debt. Posted by: Jen the original at November 08, 2016 06:26 PM (oDUj/) 1004
I don't see how CO voting systems could be down when the voting is on paper ballots, that were mostly mailed out weeks beforehand.
Maybe the counting machines are a problem or they intended to use electronic machines for the same day register and vote folks (which should NOT be the case because as I understood it those were supposed to be provisional ballots that would not even be counted if it was not close enough for those votes to decide something. ) Posted by: PaleRider at November 08, 2016 06:26 PM (dkExz) 1005

I may have to stay off the computer for the next few hours. As far as friends on the internet...I used to follow so many "conservative" bloggers until I found out they had too much principle to vote Trump. I've never muted so many people in my life and it demolished me to think their "principle" will give way to Hillaryputting in place a progressive agenda. I've unmuted some today and they are delighted that they can sleep well for voting principle and for voting McMullin. I hope they have nightmares.

Dear friends, I wish Trump would win. But the initial exit polls usually indicate an intense enthusiasm of voters. That does not equal a win. For instance the intensity against Bush in 2004 was PALPABLE. But it was irrelevant. The typical oblivious voter defaulted to the war-chief incumbent. Anyway: DO. NOT. GET. YOUR. HOPES. up. ... sorry Posted by: Stoic Trumpublican at November 08, 2016 06:43 PM (dDOWg) 1184

Most #NeverTrumpers have hardly been a shock except Brad Thor. Thor briefly said he would vote Trump and than reversed himself. I gave away all his books I owned, which wasn't a loss as I had several of them sitting around I had not even read. Vince Flynn was a much better writer in the genre.

In 1980 Ronald Reagan scared the living hell out of me, I was sure he'd end up starting a nuclear war. By 1984 I could see the guy wasn't going to kill us all and had turned the economy around even in Oregon. By 1992, I'd abandoned the left entirely and was disgusted by Bill Clinton.

And that's why the Democrats with Bylines are so out-n-out gung-ho about supporting Hillary! and destroying anything Not-Hillary. When they controlled the entire apparatus, they'd could feign impartiality. Things were easier to hide. Now they cannot because of the internet.

I have a VERY close relationship with a friend who considers herself "informed" (by MSNBC and Saturday Night Live) who has become a flaming idiotic leftie over the years, possibly influenced by her flaming leftie children.
She is so idiotic about it that she at first considered the woman whose plane seat was moved because of the Muslim who wouldn't sit next to her should not have been moved. After thinking about it a few minutes, she decided maybe she should have been. I had to practically HIT HER OVER THE HEAD to reconsider, being as how the only thing we have in common politically is some measure of women's lib. Similarly, at first, she thought maybe Hillary shouldn't have called us deplorable. After a few minutes, she started to defend it. I cut her short, with, "There is no defense." Although I did allow as to how Hillary was only saying what they all said and thought. (All meaning lefties, though I didn't specify that.) I have tried, tried, tried to get her to stop talking politics, but these things came up anyway. Along with a LOT WORSE. Like how she didn't see that corporations should keep profits, and so on. She was visiting (they live out of town) when the FREAKING DEBATE was on (I think the second one), and my rule was that we would watch it separately and then NOT TALK ABOUT IT. Her husband has told her not to talk politics with me, by the way. Well, she lasted till the next afternoon, when she just had to bring it up. I said the thing I'd practiced, which was the only positive thing I could think of - which was that I thought Hillary looked great. I went on in detail about that. She responded with she found the debate to be interesting and "appalling." I said, well now, here I said something good about your person and you respond this way. Lesson I learned: Do not give them an inch. Do not say A SINGLE NICE THING about their person. Ever. Because they will not return the favor. I have been practically clawing to keep this relationship, and I know she has to. She once told me that she was interested in my viewpoint because I was the only conservatie she knew "who wasn't crazy." I wish to heck she had never become politically "informed." Now if I can just get her to not discuss politics with me. Posted by: Alana at November 08, 2016 06:46 PM (ASfgM) 1210

I no longer follow some people on Twitter. I appreciated authors for their books, and their intemperate tweets drove me away.
I liked listening to Hollywood Babble-On with Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman, until they dived into their brand of Trump humor. I haven't listened since. I don't know if I'll return; there are so many good podcasts out there. I've cut back a lot on Marc Maron after he called Trump voters "satanic" on the Roseanne Barr episode (and he backed away furious and changed the subject when she challenged him on politics, the pussy). The Nerdist will probably go, too. Chris Hardwick is this generation's Merv Griffin: unctuous, smarmy, an insider protecting his boss' properties. As for friends, at best I muted my ex on Facebook, and I'll probably unmute her. Posted by: Uma Thurmond's Feet at November 08, 2016 06:53 PM (q+Tv5) 1263

Two 30+ year residents said they'd never seen anything like it. Lots of people talking about Trump. Obviously anecdotal though.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 08, 2016 06:47 PM (39g3+) A lot of people have died since 2012. Even more probably moved into that vacant lot on Main St. in all those swing districts. And wait... only 13 million new voters? You mean the rest of them forgot to vote twice? McAullife added 60,000 voters in a weekend in VA alone. And... last but not least... since Obama said no one is going to check, how many new "undocumented" citizens do we have since 2012? How many no longer feel "disenfranchised"? Oh... and check the google machine. That 140 million projection has been the second place bet on several betting sites for months.

-------------- rhomboid - I've been looking at replicating the M2 standard - I have a bunch of IMR 4895 and some 150gr bullets. I'd be interested in what you're using and the velocities you're seeing. Regarding reusing brass - have you considered annealing? Posted by: Weasel at November 08, 2016 07:07 PM (Sfs6o) 1348
I wonder what the turnout would have been if it were Jeb! vs. Hillary! as was predicted a year ago.

Good post, Ace. Iowahawk and the rest of the non-voting/#nevertrump crowd have been leaving a nasty taste in my mouth for a while now. Eh, I wish the guy well -- Go smoke a bowl and knock yourself out sanding the rust off some old fenders, Mr. Burge. I'll drop by and chuckle over some tweets now and then and we'll all be happy. Albeit in that bittersweet kind of happy that I fear will probably be as good as it gets in a post Hillary America.

I've had to end some relationships with some Libs, mostly because they've made death threats and some crazy hard left stuff. Pro-gang rape, pro-ISIS, laughing about dead servicemen, etc. The normal stuff.
Usually they've given themselves a free pass because they were drinking, but I don't need people like that in my life. Even if they do claim to be the 99%. Posted by: brando at November 08, 2016 07:39 PM (VIyER) 1355
I"m thisclose to ending a newly renewed relationship (mostly on facebook but we were close once). It's a shame cause he's a witty guy and we have great conversations but he's a lefty and politics brings out a very nasty and ugly side of him.

I was just thinking of emailing an old friend I lost contact with after Obama was elected and he (the old buddy) went off the deep end of giddy liberalism. Sometimes I think about losing an old pal with regret - we were good friends for a long time - then I remember he's a fucking retard.

591 ...I don't understand how those conservative husband/liberal wife (or vice-versa) marriages last.
Posted by: Gran of the Deplorables at November 08, 2016 05:44 PM If they're like the ones I know, the lib married someone who takes their marriage seriously, and the lib gradually moves from classical lib to deep left field. Bonus if the conservative is the breadwinner and/or manages the day-to-day practicalities, which leaves little time for a good argument session. I use FB to stay in touch with relatives and pals across the world. Good for health updates, reunion plans, etc. But I already decided that I'll drop anyone nearby who I don't see in 2017. What's the point of staying in touch if you're "too busy" to meet? I can't "unfriend" my SIL, but she had better not spew her nonsense at Thanksgiving. I got rid of one of her adult children and a nephew's police-hating gf. Posted by: NaughtyPine at November 08, 2016 08:50 PM (UwMHj) 1360
I agree with this heartily!
But I handled FB a little differently. When I started my profile I only accepted or invited people who shared my values and foundational worldview. I was very picky and easily rejected or did not accept folks who didn't fit most of my criteria. The result has largely been utter bliss. An encouraging, inspiring FB feed, carefully curated. There are a few outliers whom I love dearly -- but I haven't unfriended one FB friend because I stayed away from the ones who would behave like asses anyway. On other feeds, of course, I've expressed plenty of disdain for some points of view or "argument" -- but that's okay. I've got Trump voters among my friends, as well as non-Trump-voters like me. We've gotten along great because our basic worldview and values are very compatible. My opinion -- if you've unfriended somebody because you've suddenly realized that you don't respect their opinions, values, or worldview, then it's best to remain unfriended. A lack of respect is really devastating to a friendship and it's best to move on. I think that the last year or so has really revealed to me that many people I had thought were allies -- that we shared the same goals and priorities and values -- aren't allies at all. I need to be with the folks, in general, who share the same values and goals. We can work together for something, even if it is just survival in a hostile world.

Related, here is what I wrote on my Facebook feed today:
Apologies for the campaign discussion that follows. I know that most of us are tired of the presidential race. It has been extremely divisive from the top down. I would say that I am happy it's coming to an end, but I am not. No matter how it breaks, I believe that Americans have lost and the end of the campaign will cement the pain I have been feeling for months. But going forward, the advance or retreat of that pain will depend not on the awful winner of this election, but rather on the cynicism of my family, friends and Americans in general-and I want more and less of it. Regarding the new president: Be More Cynical! Do not grant the winner the benefit of the doubt. Hold the president's feet to the fire. I don't know who will win, but I already know it will be a bad person. I understand that we become invested in our candidate. I have friends preparing to fête their chosen's victory because it will destroy the glass ceiling, blow up the status quo or (and I quote) put into the president's office "... the most qualified candidate to run for office in the last fifty years." The mind reels. If you celebrate, don't give in to the worst of partisanship. We vote for a person or a party, but we should not do it because of brand loyalty or tribalism. We should do it because we believe the person we are electing intends to serve us well. You may believe your candidate has that intention, and perhaps it's true. But I can assure you, it is not high on the candidate's list. It is, at best, a nice-to-have. And you most definitely care a lot more about your candidate than your candidate cares about you. Regarding your family, friends and other Americans: Be Less Cynical! Don't begrudge their vote. They are not corrupt. They are not deplorable. Like you, they voted the best that they could under the circumstances. That they may have reached a different conclusion about what that meant does not make them evil or stupid. If you and they are comfortable, engage them in discussion. I generally find agreement with people on most issues. Disagreement usually comes when we discuss strategy. Occasionally, disagreement is fundamental. That's ok. But somehow find common ground. The loss of religion and the diverse interactions provided by the internet have fractured our culture. I am not passing judgment. But I am certain it's true and the associated loss of common experience is harming us. We don't talk to our neighbors. We don't pay attention to those around us. We suspect the motives of people simply trying to get by. We should be doing the exact opposite of these things. Talk to your neighbors. Pay attention to those around you. Give people the benefit of the doubt. If we cannot be more cynical about our politicians and less cynical about each other, we are all in for a very long and unpleasant journey. Many great civilizations have perished before us. We read about them in history. We wonder what happened to them. We wonder why they didn't do something to prevent it. I expect that few of them understood where things were headed, or alternatively, felt powerless to stem the tide. Let's not follow that pattern. Let's recognize that we are headed in the wrong direction and that neither candidate is going to address it. Let's make it our problem to tackle together. Otherwise we will find that, while the rising tide lifts boats, it also drowns those who don't take action. Posted by: Seattle Chris at November 08, 2016 10:00 PM (xqFcI) 1365
I recently went through this on a larger scale. I was a member of a medieval re-enactment group, the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It's intended to be a more historical-oriented version of Renfair. On one level, it was a blast - I became an expert archer and was learning how to fight with rapiers. It also includes lots of drunken celebrations around campfires, women with loose morals, lots of friends sharing life and laughter.
Then I discovered on of the "knights" was harassing newcomers, and in 3 instances had attempted to molest a 12 year girl. I sounded the alarm on him. What happened next I never expected, but if you study these kinds of cases you already know - the people in leadership positions, the "friends" who's character I thought I knew to be pure - they all turned on me, viciously. I was routinely threatened with physical violence, my marriage was attack with public rumor-mongering of adultery, I was threatened with lawfare to shut me up. And these acquaintances I thought were my friends? They spread malicious gossip about me, shunned me, abandoned me. I was all alone trying to fight a system that was protecting and enabling a child predator. I don't think there was a pedophile ring - that's crazy talk - but the behavior of these people was so out of character that I wouldn't be surprised if it came out. So, FOUR years of this crap. Found a good attorney, and on his advice I went to the FBI, gave them all my notes, and got whistleblower protection. And left the SCA. In hindsight, only 2 or 3 of these people were worth a damn. The rest, mostly liberals, are so corrupt and dishonest that losing them as friends was better for me in the end. tldr: the Left is as morally bankrupt, intellectually dishonest and corrupt as Hillary Clinton. And in light of the antics they've pulled this election, I advise you pause and reconsider just how much you should trust your liberal "friends" in your real life. They are the Little Eichmanns, waving and smiling hello to you as they report you to be taken off to the Indoc Center. Also, don't join the SCA. They are a dying org that still hasn't learned its lesson from a $7.2 million molestation judgement in the Ben Ben Schragger case. Posted by: Fen at November 08, 2016 10:04 PM (5suYp) 1366
