Among Republicans, 82% say they have a close friend who is a member of the other party, compared with 64% of Democrats, according to the NBC News poll.
Despite a polarized, partisan political environment, most voters who consider themselves a member of a party say they have a close friend on the other side of the aisle, according to the latest national NBC News poll.
Self-identified moderate Republicans (87%) were 8 points more likely to say they have a close Democratic friend than conservative Republicans (79%). By the same token, moderate Democrats (78%) were 21 points more likely to say they have a close friend who is a Republican than liberal Democrats (57%).
Among voters categorized as “core” GOP supporters, 77% have a close Democratic friend, while 90% of “soft” Republican voters do. There was a similar gap between “core” Democratic voters, at 57%, and “soft” Democrats, at 73%, when it comes to having a close Republican friend.
Theyre lying.
Some of them could be hiding their opinions and saying “I just don’t like to get into politics”.
That’s what conservatives do. They are venal, disingenuous, self-absorbed, hateful little people.
Do I look like I give a shit? I’m not trying to make friends with republicans.
Just like when racists totally have a black friend, right?
Consequence of being friendly is that a lot more shitty people will consider you their friend than the other way around
If I find out that a friend votes Republican, I find out we ain’t friends. They’re just somebody I thought I knew.
The takeaway here is that Republicans are generally confused, lonely, unprincipled and two-faced.
It’s not a “difference of opinion” when your party think I should be put in a concentration camp even if you know I’m “one of the good ones.” You’re all the bad ones, and I know it.
Very well stated, thank you.
Narcissists often think that people who tolerate their presence all want to be friends with them
“I’m not racist I have a black friend” energy
✅
Pointed that out in my comment too. Republicans probably think theyre friends with Democrats who are “one of the good ones.” Dems are smart enough to know Republicans are all bad
Exactly, thank you.
That’s because people who aren’t MAGA don’t consider MAGA people friends any longer. We drew the line in the sand long ago…
Right, because the Democratic Party is considered more honorable than the assholes in the Confederate Party. Who wants to aspire to be friends with Confederates?
Interpretation: Republicans more likely to be unaware that people they consider friends actually hate them.
My very much not in a cult F-I-L gets mad everytime I tell him to turn off Faux News when he spouts propaganda.
He retorts back he watches and reads all kinds of news like Drudge Report, OAN, and New Max. He also claims to have a black friend
How people still insist fox news is news when they’ve gone out of their way to say they’re not is beyond me. And wow I’m so sorry your fil consumes all that
He retorts back he watches and reads all kinds of news like Drudge Report, OAN, and New Max.
