I have a close friend that I've known 20 years who became obsessed with right-wing politics. even though I'm liberal, I don't make it my entire personality and life. But anyway... I was talking to him this morning casually like friends do.

Me: "Hey man. Do you have off today for MLK day?" Friend: "No, I have to work today." Me: "Damn, sorry to hear. I have off today since it's a company holiday." Friend: "Yeah, I work for a living. Guess that's the difference me and people who live in an ivory tower." Me: "Uhh I work for a living too. Idk why you're acting like I don't?" Friend: "I didn't mean you specifically. But you’re off and I’m not so it shows that you get to relax at least. You should be able to handle the truth lol. There's no shame in admitting that I'm a harder worker than everyone else. you shouldn't be so sensitive"

Honestly, he's not unique, either. I've met so many people who are conservative, obsessed with right-wing stuff, and they're all like this. They act like they're special and the whole world is lazy, "no one wants to work anymore" attitude.

The funniest thing about conservatives is how they'll complain the left are a bunch of snowflakes, but you say a single word like trans and they'll probably explode into a million pieces because you said a bad word that scares them.

They want to secretely fuck trans people, that's why.

I was reading a standard celebrity obituary article the other day. It was an actor nobody really remembers and it mentioned his family and the shows he was on.

In the comments someone said something like:

I don't know why you had to mention his husband!!! Why does everything have to be so woke?

Sure, pal, if he had married a woman, everything would be ok, but since he had a husband, we need to pretend that he doesn't exist around you so you don't feel icky?

Doesn't sound familiar, but maybe.

I just googled "news dead gay actor" and he did episode 1 of The Twilight Zone, which is a pretty notable resume item. He died a month back unfortunately.

Lol this same person once told me that he doesn't support LGBT or Black lives matter or any of that because he doesn't agree with those communities and thinks that they are hateful

[–] Whateley@lemm.ee 11 points 12 hours ago

Have you ever considered that your buddy just might be a fucking idiot?

[–] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 17 hours ago

They are hateful of him. And should be.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 15 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It’s cause they never know what trans people are packing, and a penis scares them more than a gun.

I love telling transphobes that they're only mad because the ladies' dick's are bigger than theirs.
