(15,545 posts)I just couldn't do it if it were me. I lost a best friend of 40 years in 2016. She had recently moved to a new county near election time, and the first thing she did was to go and register to vote so that she could vote for Trump.
When Hillary was not allowed to win, she came back at me about how I needed to "give him a chance, at least". I already knew what he was and what was going to happen, and I realized that she and I had fundamentally different ways of thinking. I didn't want to argue with her, but I wasn't going to stand by and support someone who was a huge hypocrite. She is uber religious. We grew up together and she's told me that I'm going to hell over things many times. She is twice divorced - actually the second divorce wasn't a real divorce because the husband died before it was final, but it had been filed. The husband had a debilitating disease and couldn't move on his own. She sat him in his recliner one day and left. Called his two adult children and told them they needed to come and take care of their father.
When he died, she fought them for his life insurance and got half. Then she remarried almost instantaneously.
See what a "good" Christian she is? And she is indicative of ALL of them. I deserve better friends than this.
