very, very few. interestingly, of the extremely small number of examples I can think of, they're all on the republican side. like, a few of them are legitimately golf buddies, go on vacation together, their kids are friends, etc. on the Democrat side, I really can't think of anyone I've known over the years who has legitimate, non-transactional friendships.
I’d imagine trying to make friends as a powerful person, it’s very difficult to tell when someone likes you vs when someone wants something from you. I’m often grateful that people don’t have a good reason to ingratiate themselves to me. I’m too autistic for that shit.
I remember when I was young and lonely I felt like getting money and/or power would be cool because having fake friends sounded better than what I had.
I'm still lonely, but I value myself more.
