I've got what I thought were some friends around town here where I live. Not folks I would call best friends, but friends nonetheless. A few examples are just of some guys I see almost daily where we get our coffee/donuts/papers and anything else you need. And of course it's a great place to just chat with friends and just do some BS'n.
Well, inevitably, during the elections, of course the candidates got brought up. Anything from Obama in office, to Hillary/Sander, to of course Trump. Things were find until I made a choice. And then boy did I have some 'splainin to do! LOL
But then I was left in the dust, or left to discuss things alone, or folks would pull in and out and come other times and all that cool stuff. That's fine, I can live and survive.
But 2 guys tossed our friendship away and literally disappeared and didn't want to talk about anything, let alone politics. I guess since I supported Trump, I wasn't worthy of talking to about anything at all.
So then the other day I am in the back office helping the manager, and I walk out and see one of the guys, obviously surprising him. He tried to play it off, and tried to play it friendly. I said hello, smiled and moved along. If I ain't good enough to be your friend over stupid things, and you're willing to drop me as a friend over politics, then bite me 'ol big butt!
One guy I really did like though and thought we were friends. The other guy, truly couldn't care less.
