A friend of mine who I was once close with is becoming conservative. He got upset when I challenged him on his verifiably false statements about a local politician, and he said I need to respect his opinions and his feelings about things.
To me, ignoring espoused falsehoods is not respect; it's the opposite. I'm wondering for how long our relationship will remain something that I would call a friendship.

- However, LOL at him telling you that you need to respect his feelings. It doesn't work that way! You can't tell someone that they must respect your feelings.********
- Least he is not family...********
- That's the thing about facts & science, they're still true whether one believes in them or not. One's entitled to their own opinions, not their own facts, ffswhatthefunk
- i hope you're friends for other reasons than politics.********

- You should be able to tell your friend he’s full of shit. Best thing about real friends is them calling you out on your own bsGnash
