I got into it with someone on FB [View all]

I have a few remaining MAGAt's in my friend list, mainly people from high-school (a lot of which used to bully me until I grew bigger than them). I mostly kept quiet for years until 2020 and especially after the insurrection. Fast forward to today I am super outspoken and unapologetic about it. I no longer care about having "civil discussions" with these people. To be quite honest it was very cathartic treating them like dirt and being as nasty and disrespectful as I could be. Several have unfriended me or blocked me over the past couple years and I am fine with that. There is no rational conversation with them no getting through. Why should I maintain respect and civility? All of these people deserve nothing but scorn and disdain.
