Since you don’t want to be friends with her if she is a maga. Try to join some dem groups near you if there are any and that way maybe you can make friends who share the same beliefs.

This summer we visited some friends of my father. I remember one of them who he had been friends with for many years and who he had helped over the course of his career saying something about how it was a hard decision who to vote for in the upcoming local election, the d or r. Because the r was good. Wtf?


My brother said it’s not hard you just don’t vote for them ever. And then later it occurred to me that maybe he had voted for the R. My brother told me that he did a lot of golfing and probably had Republican golfing friends etc. I don’t remember ever discussing politics with these people very much in the past but I know they all hated dump etc. So weird. My father told me that this friend’s partner refused to have dump on the tv at all after he was installed in office, she completely hated him.

It is things like this that in part lead to where we are.
