I am so sick of everything getting politicized.

6. When your life is at stake because of the actions of politicians

It is important to your survival to be concerned about the politics.

I am not having issues with the "other side" now days, because the very few people I even chat anymore are of a like mind. I have completely discarded all of my conservative "friends." I just have nothing to discuss with them. My sister and her husband just could not leave their conservative politics out of conversations. Family gatherings became hateful, so I cut ties with them too, and I don't plan trying to mend things. It is a shame, because before they became staunch Christians and hard core Conservatives, (at the same time they began to gather in some modest wealth) we used to have a lot of really good times. I will always love my sister, but I just will not tolerate her, and her husband's belligerent and hateful rhetoric.

All but one of my friends from school have gotten on the red hat hate wagon too, I have no use for them. Life is too short to either have to do constant battle with them or to just give them a pass, bite my tongue, and listen to them to rant.

The real problems begin for the conservatives if, one day, their right-wing dreams all come true. It will be a rude and painful awakening.
