You can’t be friends with people who disagree with you about politics. At least that’s what Salon wants you to think.
Salon political staff writer Chauncey Devega commands you to cut Trump supporters completely out of your life, saying that, “If you have friends or relatives who support Donald Trump you should confront them. Explain to them that they are complicit with Trump's cruelty and sadism.”
Then he tells her readers to, “communicate that you will no longer speak with them, nor will you offer them emotional, financial or other types of support until they denounce Donald Trump and what he represents — and make amends through speech and action.” A public confession, rending of the garments, self-flagellation, etc.
Chauncey sounds nice, doesn’t he? No wonder progressives are so miserable -- they’re incapable of compartmentalizing. Just ask noted hockey fan and parade enthusiast David Corn.

I am a Trump-supporting sadist.
Please feel free to disown me.
my liberal family members are intolerant as hell. We’re dead to them, lol. Putzes.
“Then he tells her readers to, “communicate that you will no longer speak with them...”
I’d say “is that a promise?”
Wow, that sounds like something a cult would do.
But according to Chris Matthews we’re the cult...
Projection?
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Yesterday it was Chick-fil-A. Today it is Trump.
A lot of litmus tests out there.
I wrote the little $hi! nephew of mine out of my will when he called me a fascist.
Stirring the pot. They really want civil war.
Leftists are dead to me, so we’re even.
“make amends through speech and action.”
You’re a sub human until you denounce and pay for your impure thinking.
Orwell’s tyrants were pikesrs compared these guys.
The main argument tools of the left:
1. Ad-hominem
2. Deflection
3. Projection
4. Straw man
Honorable mention:
1. Red Herring
BFD. No one I know has anything to do with the Hate-America left anyway.
Drive them crazy by smiling and telling them they will always be in your prayers.
That may be their one good thought. Nothing gets properly fixed in this country until the people responsible for the misery many of us suffer are shot dead.
And example of leftist projection:
A leftist who says he voted for Obama because we need a black president accuses a republican of voting against Obama because he’s black.
You should make a concerted effort to reach out to them, just to live in their heads.
I got a lot of grief on a liberal site back in the middle of the Obama years for suggesting we may be on the verge of civil war. Since then, I realized we’ve been in a cold civil war for over a decade and it WILL get hot. It’s not about if. It is about when. It just needs a catalyst
It could be anything from Republicans sweeping the mid-terms to Trump’s re-election. But I have little doubt the left will, when they come to grips with their utter lack of political power, act out violently. Worse than 1968 Chicago. And we will meet them.
“You can’t be friends with people who disagree with you about politics.”
Actually as a tee shirt I recently bought says, “You can’t coexist with people who want to kill you.”
