They are not your friends, they are your acquaintances.
Your Friends share your belief system and values. Those same “friends” would have no problem with the Government stealing the fruits and vegetables from your Garden to give to those they deem worthier than you.
I have Lib In-Laws. I talk to them only as a courtesy to my Wife. I am always pleasant, but there is a unspoken understanding of what I will and will not tolerate. Their Vote damages my Country and adversely affects my way of life and I make a point to never forget it. They know what is required to redeem themselves in my eyes. This November will either heal or damage whatever relationship I have with them. My understanding nature died the day they Voted for Obama. Ignorance is curable, Stupidity is forever.
I have worked with one guy in particular. I helped him put in a large irrigation for 300 fruit trees and he brought his chain saw to help me cut down and dispose of an irritating tree that was shading what I wanted to grow. When you exchange honest labor with someone it smooths over some differences.
Aside from that fluff I agree with you 80%. These libs can be stupid libs or vicious determined libs. They are out to destroy the America we treasure unwittingly or intentionally
