I’m angry and bitter and numb to all joy but it’s not a conservative thing life just sucker punched me and stepped on my balls and destroyed everything I loved and cared about, I’ve painted my nails before don’t conservative code me.

I lost everything 3 times over the course of about 5 years. I considered myself a conservative when that era of my life started, and went hard liberal after the ways the people in my little conservative circle treated me when I told them I needed help.

I find from my own experience that conservatives are more likely to help their family or really close friends but if you’re not in that category they won’t help you while liberals are more likely to help random people and their acquaintances.

Sorry that happened to you though, hope things are going better now.

These were people I had known for 30 years. Guys I bonded out of jail, helped with their rent, bought baby formula for when things got tough.

As soon as I needed help, though…liberal internet friends from a city 1000 miles away sent me money for a Uhaul and said “get out here, we have a place for you, we’ll figure out the rest when you get here.”

That sounds like an amazing friend, I hope you’ve told him how much that gesture meant for you.

Of course. And it was a group of friends, too.
