So like, they were fine for a time and then they sprung their bullshit onto you? What a letdown.
Please don't write off possible future friendships, though. There are decent people out there.
Yeah, pretty much. We mostly talked about gaming, speedruns, general memes etc. It was mentioned from a game they've played, hence being so unexpected.
I generally keep quiet about a lot of political stuff IRL due to the potential of opening a can of worms for this exact reason. Generally keep it to "oh, maybe retail workers need to get paid more" at most, things most people would agree with.
It's even worse when you consider they're non-binary, pro-LGBTQ etc - my head hurts on the sheer cognitive dissonance to somehow think that's compatible with supporting Trump.
