Since 2016, Donald Trump and his MAGA movement have driven a wedge between many personal relationships.
That seems to be the case for this MAGA voter who is feeling "lost and confused" after being cut off by their friends of 20+ years because of their support of Trump.
In a now-viral post, this MAGA voter is seeking advice from other Trump voters who have lost friends due to politics. Here's the full post:
"I'm not someone who lives and breathes political debates..."

"I kept trying to say, 'Can't we just respect each other's differences...who cares who we voted for?' But it didn't help..."
"Am I being unrealistic or lacking empathy?"
"I'm really sad and confused right now..."

In the thousands of comments, people aren't exactly sympathetic...
"Votes affect the real world, so when you vote against other people’s interests, yeah, they’re going to be pissed and want nothing to do with you," one person said.
"It was maybe true twenty years ago that you could vote for a Republican candidate while your best friend voted Democrat and it wouldn’t be a big deal. That’s no longer the world we live in," another person said.
"Tolerance is not a right, it's a social contract. It says, 'don't be a dick to me and I won't be a dick to you.' But they want to be dicks to people without consequences, and that voids the social contract. So, nobody needs to tolerate fascist, nazi-type shit," this person said.

"I had to cut off a good friend of mine after 2016 because of the incessant need for him to inject his newly discovered MAGA politics into everything," another person shared.
"You'd be talking about some rando subject and next thing you'd hear is 'probably the damn libs' or 'sounds like something a Democrat would say' or some bullshit. He was absolutely pleasant to be around before 2016. We rode bicycles almost every weekend, 20+ mile rides. Never got political. When 2016 hit, everything got political. Suddenly, this nice guy was saying nasty things about immigrants. He couldn't leave it alone... So, I lost a friend. Jettisoned him when it became obvious that the nice, funny guy I used to hang out with, go to bars, took a buddies trip to Mexico with.....was gone. Changed. Hateful. Ugly. No longer funny. Punching down on others."
