OK
he said
are you serious 
blah blah
he has since deleted it

And I said
yes
I said I was scared
you thought it was funny
I'm just trying to understand you 
I'm not trying to make a statement 

I may have told you that

THEN 
he said all you need to understand is 
you sound like a scared sheep
parroting left wing talking points
privileged 
blah blah
he has since deleted it 

I said

if my honest experience sounds like "talking points" to you I'm honestly not sure how to talk to you
I was raised lower middle class 
I made $40,000 my highest paid year
and I had a pretty rough childhood 
nothing privileged about me 
I guess our experiences are different 
I DON'T TRUST the media 
I thought we were people who could talk to each other honestly but maybe THAT was my overly trusting mistake 
and what I hate about the world today is that everyone thinks I'm either left or right
no one will interact with me in a way that isn't 
slotted into one or the other
I guess you just reinforced THAT
SAD

AND
he replied 
and I have a right to laugh at whatever I find
HUMOROUS 

AND
I REPLIED 

of course
