I miss my old friends, the ones who turned to Trumpism over humanity--the ones who were tricked and fooled by the Trump team's hateful, self-serving, violent, corrupt rhetoric and actions. I gave up on those friends, people I loved and valued for a long time, but I could not accept their support for the grave inhumanity Trump and his team have promoted day after day. I watched how Trump's hate rhetoric promoted a deadly massacre in El Paso, police officers' death/harm at The Capitol, obstruction of justice, and lots and lots of lost dollars and potential spent on dissecting and cleaning up from his corrupt acts-- money that could have been better spent uplifting lives.
I miss my friends' good talents, family care, home lives, laughter and good times, but I can't accept people supporting such a deadly, destructive team of propagandists who greedily take care of themselves while leaving so many people in harm's way. I just can't.
If my friends called and told me that they now no longer support such inhumane action, I would readily befriend them again, but until then, it will be a purposeful hole in my life. Onward.
