I’m in my early 40s and politics wasn’t a thing we really talked about much until Trump came around. Now it’s a shit show. I’ve even voted Republican several times before although not for a decade at this point now.
Sounds like they have some nasty views irrespective of politics. Treating gay and trans people like people has nothing to do with politics.
We're a similar age. I've let go of people who voiced these views a long time ago. It's not that our politics don't align, it's the fact that they're an ignorant, offensive piece of shit... And I'm not.
He actually doesn’t have any problem with gay people. I know this because my brother is gay.
His main schtick with trans people is that he thinks kids shouldn’t be allowed to undergo surgery since their minds aren’t fully developed.
He is a big Tim Pool fan and I have a feeling that a lot of his bullshit is just echoing the beanie man.
Haha you're not really selling me on him, but I'm not telling you who to be friends with. But you know, the company you keep..
Wait, you can keep companies?

For about a minute. Then they take it back.
Once Trump is gone the spell will be lifted, maybe
A decade's worth of these views is enough to consider the person a prick. Being ok with one gay person's existence (standing ovation for that bare minimum) is not acceptance of gay people. That's pretty much 'i have black friends so I'm not racist '.
He’s also a bouncer at a gay club so I’m pretty sure he’s okay with gay people
I’m not really concerned how you feel about him based off of one or two comments I’ve made poking fun at him. I’ve known him for 25 years so I’m pretty sure I know who he is. Right now he’s a bit brainwashed by Tim Pool. If everyone just cut off their Republican friends then they would become even more insular and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing.
