“None of my friends who voted for Obozo in 2008 are doing so this time.”

Anyone who admits to voting for Obama the last time is now my acquaintance, NOT MY FRIEND. Anyone of them who admits an inclination to support him again is NOW MY ENEMY.
I can't be that tough on them. Instead, I try to engage them in a debate on the merits of my side versus theirs. And while most of them are unwilling to debate the issues, some of them are seeing the error of their ways. If nothing else, it makes them think about what their doing. Hopefully, they have enough neurons still firing to see the light.
Not welcoming defectors from the other side with open arms is about the most stupid mistake any movement can make.
When they abandon O and join us, it’s a net gain of two for the good guys.
Arguably this is why the Nazis lost WWII. A great many Soviets would have been more than happy to join a liberating Germany Army in destroying the Reds. But the Nazi racial idiocy meant they couldn’t welcome them.
