    Interesting pro MAGA take. He don’t lose any “true friends,” he claims. So he just lost a ton of “general friends.” They are better off.

      Well I agree that if someone loses friends just because of who they vote for, regardless of which party that is, then they probably weren’t that good of friends anyway.

      I’ve never ever lost friend just because of who I voted for. Nor have I requested to stop being friends with someone based on who they vote for.

      In the area I live in, people voted all kinds of ways. And we all get along just fine.

      I think basing one’s friends based on their political party isn’t the best way to go about things. But meh, people do what they do.

    I feel the same way he does when it comes to insults I have received for not voting for Harris. The grief and hate I got was way worse from Dems than Republicans (I didn’t vote Trump either), especially here on Lemmy.

    From the article:

    But his initial revelation did receive some backlash.

    ‘You are a dumba**,’ one X user wrote.

    Conservatives, he said, were more tolerant.

    Bach wrote: 'I’ve never experienced such overwhelming kindness, understanding, and encouragement as I have from supporters of President Trump in the past 24 hours.

    ‘And I’ve never faced such vicious personal attacks, name-calling, and insults—intended to wound, shame, and silence—as I have from Leftists in the same time frame.’
