“Apolitical” friends?
What line to draw with “apolitical friend”
My friend who has always said he is “apolitical” because he doesn’t have the bandwidth to engage and prefers to focus his energy on what is important to him honestly said “that doesn’t bother me” when I pressed him by asking “But doesn’t it enrage you that the president is a rapist and a pedophile?”
I get wanting to prioritize other things in your life, but how much does it take from your life to simply care about pedophilia and rape? 🤦♀️
I feel sick and don’t get it! He said “So now do you feel differently about me? It’s not my fault! I didn’t do it!”
ICK! I just don’t know what to think about this kind person that spent 20 years looking after his mother’s health until she died. He is sweet and pleasant, generous and cares about people! He thinks of himself as a “good guy” and says “I’m not saying I AGRÉE with it. so why do you judge me?”
I said because it’s THAT sort of indifference that hurts all the women and children who are victims that continue to see people in power do horrible things and nothing gets done!
Has anyone dealt with something like this where you just just don’t know how to feel about someone and they act hurt like you are judging them ( AND YOU ARE) but they should understand why that attitude is so tone-deaf……they should understand why that is fair game for judgement!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
