That’s what I’ll say if you ask me why I unfriended you, a
Trump supporter. Because the truth is…
We were never friends.
Facebook has this weird effect. We feel connected to each
other. We feel like we know each other. We feel like we’re friends. But…
We were never friends.
I made a mistake. I thought you wouldn’t choose to support
someone so filled with hate and pettiness. I don’t care what you tell yourself
so you can sleep at night. What it all comes down to is that you choose someone
whose rhetoric was filled with hate, violence and misogyny. Even if you say
that you personally don’t support those things, you support him. And if you
support him…
We were never friends.
Guilt by association, maybe. But you are the company you
keep. Hang around people who spew hate, and by allowing their hatred to go
unchecked, you are part of it. Your silence is just as damning as their voice.
Lack of action is action. “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a
choice.” Which means…
We were never friends.
Maybe we were acquaintances. Maybe we were friends of
friends. Maybe we’d done business together. We were friendly. We weren’t
friends. And now I’ve unfollowed you or unfriended you because…
We were never friends.
Don’t tell me I’m the intolerant one. Don’t tell me it’s
discrimination because I don’t want to be your friend. Don’t tell me we can
have a difference of opinion and can still get along. It’s more than that. It’s
that…
We were never friends.
He publicly mocked a disabled man. He admitted to sexually
assaulting a woman. He’s hiring on rich cronies who don’t care about the women,
children, the poor, and the hungry. If you’re okay with all that, please know
that I am not.
That’s why we were never friends.
