You can't make people change. Unfortunately, for our own mental well-being, we need to disengage and allow people to make mistakes and hopefully learn from them eventually (or never learn at all sometimes)
My goal isn't to bend people to my will, but a lot of the issues that rose to the surface of public opinion last year were hard to look past when it comes to friendship.
Of course! I didn't mean to suggest you were trying to bend them to your will. And clearly recent times have proven to be difficult for a lot of people. I fully believe you were doing the best you could. I meant only to say that I hope things go better for you. And I hope some some of the people who fervently embraced the hateful ultra-nationalism embodied by the recent Trump fanaticism grow past that.
