Current Events > People with right wing friends, how are they reacting right now?

(+) Yeah! (+)

All day on every social media site, I am seeing one of these six options going on with right wing people reacting to the elections. I am curious how people with right wing friends or associates reacting to all of this right now.

Claiming how suspicious the vote counting is in PA and MI.

Crickets on my end....

---

the only republicans I know in real life are my parents. they are in shock I think.

Getting abused for his vote

---

I'm not friends with any Nazis.

---

Quiet disappointment with a hint of questioning the legitimacy of the results. Overall acceptance tho... but you know how quickly that can change once it's officially called

---

Ill admit it, I lean more republican than democrat. It is what is, I dont care that much.

---

Bump.

They're either silent or having a meltdown. Both are funny, given their confidence going into the election.

---

Mad, but nothing like my liberal friends that threw temper tantrums when Trump won in 2016 lmao.

---

They're mumbling but mostly meh

Yea the anger would have been funnier with another Trump win.

Also Left and Right people aren't supposed to be friends.

Associates maybe, but not friends.

not friends, but family. I've seen that post about this is on you biden voters then a bunch of bullshit about 20 times so far.

---

Disappointed but not mad, pretty much glad Republicans at least got the Senate and Courts

the only right winger i actively talk to is a british guy and he was really sour grapes about the whole thing. whenever he's upset about politics he starts talking like a 60 year old man grumbling about kids even though he's a year younger than me

---

Anger, baseless claims of the election being stolen.

I'm friends with anyone, but I'm also a centrist, so maybe that's how I'm capable of doing it. In my experience: Right wingers are tough, hardened people, but honest and hardworking; most of them are very nice and friendly, too. Left wingers tend to be more emotional and eccentric, but their quirks and passion is why I hang around them. Both sides have their extremists, and sadly, that's all that gets shown in the media.

Indeed.

I use to consider myself a center right Republican.

But after some research I found myself to be Apolitical.

My place is to work with and against both and cause conflict and chaos between them.

I'd be more like a SPECTRE type if it could be made real.

---

They're fine.

Granted I don't have social media, so I don't have to read any of that shit

---

Pretty much either quiet as hell or aboard the fraud, legal votes bullshit train.
It's really sad to witness. I almost feel bad for them, then I remember they support this orange asshole, and the sympathy magically vanishes.

---

To me it's no different like when someones sports team loses.

They'll be down and out a month or two.

Aside from the completely crazy ones.

I mean people should look at it like the midterms and next election is a new season.

I'm sure many don't support Trump himself specifically.

Trump just has a (R) next to his name.

Some Democrats vote the same.

Geiger counter is going nuts from the meltdowns LMAO. My Trump supporter in laws are taking it like normal adjusted adults (they're also not cultist level Trump supporters), my stepdad has gone full Chernobyl though lol (he is a cult level supporter)

---

Either quiet, claiming voter fraud, or saying Biden will take away their guns/raise taxes/eliminate oil jobs.

---

radio silence

---

I haven't talked to my closest friend of 25+ years, and he's not on social media. He recognizes that Trump is kind of buffoonish, but he still thinks he gets results, and believes the "self-congratulatory circlejerk" from Obama and so-called SJWs are even worse.
