“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 communicate that you will no longer speak with them”

“You promise?!”

Splendid. Also, if your child or other relative tells you that they are breaking off their relationship because you voted for and support President Trump, you can take the occasion to tell them they have been given $1 in your will, because that is how much their advice is worth.

Herbert Marcuse 101: Tolerance is unilateral, and only toward leftists.

Yes, that was me. I like them all, and have seen 99.999% of them live, but off-Broadway. I don’t care for ‘Les Mis’ and ‘Phantom.’

(The conversation is on the Catherine Zeta-Jones thread.)

I shun people for their political views.

It’s not the views that bother me. If they are “viewing the world through the leftist lens” then they are supporting in some way the killing of unborn babies. And that’s simply not acceptable.

But even without that .. it’s not their “viewpoint” that bothers me, it’s their vote.

And I refuse to live under the leadership of someone who thinks it’s ok to kill babies. I won’t follow any of their rules, none of their policies and I will do the opposite of everything they want.

If someone wants to remove my ability to defend myself, they do it the same way it’s been done for millions of years. They come at me and try to break my defenses. Anything other than that will not yield their results.

But the funny thing is that Democrats want to get rid of the Electoral College (You know, when it doesn’t benefit them) which would make our country officially a democracy. In the Democracy the largest number of people get their way.

But in every vote to date we see that the largest numbers of people do NOT want Democracy. So the Democracy-seeking politicians have to.... Wait for it....

Cheat.

Any democrat is too stupid to see the foundational folly of their party, their opinions and the results of those votes. If an intelligence test were given to voters, leftism in all of it’s forms would be eliminated at the first question.

“Too late. I’ve shunned them. Ha.”

I had to ‘shun’ a cousin who is so stridently Conservative that she cannot talk about ANYTHING else.

I’m not kidding! I invited her over for coffee and to walk our dogs together at my farm. This was a number of years ago when we were having some contagious disease problems at local Dog Parks where she usually walked her dogs. After she promised me that her dogs were not carrying anything, I said...Fine!

I have NEVER met anyone in my LIFE that can turn ANY conversation back to Politics. OMG! She just would NOT let up!

Could we talk about our favorite coffees? Well, that led back to imports and NAFTA...

Could we talk about our dogs? Well, that led back to the pros and cons of vaccinating your kids...

Could we talk about her own successful business as a local Barista? Back to politics and government and rules and laws and crushing business practices, etc.

You could ask her her opinion on, say, the FRUIT BOWL on the TABLE and it would lead back to politics...and I’m taking within two sentences, LOL!

She was annoying to the extreme. After spending 4 hours with her, my ears were bleeding.

Progressive types are known for denying MAGA people real estate transactions. Banning them from their concerts. Attempting to crater their skulls with 2x4s.

And attempting to kill you while you're playing softball with friends.
