Random post, also he is quite controversial.

So, this guy I used to be friends with (maybe he gets some slack, I’m 18 and he’s 17) is a very far-right individual.

He doesn’t date trans people (which is fine) but he also thinks that they don’t count as “actual” men/women and that they’re some other category, and says he can’t date them “because he’s bisexual”.

He also heavily criticizes Democrats/non-Trump supporters and praises anyone who supports Trump, even if they’re bad people because he doesn’t believe bad people support Trump?

My friend also says it would make sense for him to be bisexual and support Trump since he heavily prefers women and would therefore “fit in with straight people” and not understand LGBT stuff. He seems to support it as a bi dude but the way he talks about other stuff heavily outweighs his support.

He also believes every non-white person should “go back to where they came from”, that they’re all illegal immigrants (bonus points if they’re Latino), and that people who aren’t white are secretly out to get white people.

He even tried to tell me that my friend of Caribbean descent was bad and that he would end up killing us all and tried to persuade me to stop being his friend.

But seriously, prefers the opposite gender or not, he is still bi, and I don’t really understand LGBT Trump supporters much.

If this is a real scenario..

Try to make sure that his leopards don't eat your face too.

I would never 😓

I’m literally non binary and anti-Trump.

This definitely sounds like a "You can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into"

Is it worth the energy to try and bring him back from the edge? Sounds like he's pretty far gone. If you think it's too late, I'd suggest using that energy to lift up your local community somehow. Volunteer for causes, hand out supplies to those in need. We all have to make careful decisions about how we spend our limited mental energy for the next few years.

TYSM. He is very far gone and has probably been this way since I met him last year.

Yeah, that is not me. this is about some guy I’m friends with, not romantic partner.

I mean, people can go through similar things.
