Nazism worked so well once they got people to believe Jews weren’t good people like they were. My great grandparents were given official Vernichtungsdaten by their government. Extermination dates.. They were exterminated, like cockroaches. We are getting closer to such a mindset by shaming and shunning people for their beliefs.

Here’s a shocker. Leftists aren’t all too crazy about riders of the Trump train.

Here's a shocker: Trump train don't care.

"....Then 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...."

If I had one of "these" in my family, I would be jumping up and down with joy knowing they wouldn't bother me anymore.

They hate Trump so much they will shun you. Whoopee!

[RedMonqey]

I know. It makes me nervous how these “narc” laws and regulations are written. It’s for “our” safety of course. I don’t go talking about my gun collection, however modest, to outsiders and my family has weapons so there will be no “tit-for-tatism”.

I can only imagine the fear those gun owners who live behind the frontlines(blues states) must feel, knowing that at any time their guns could be taken at any time for the most insincere reasons.

A friend had an 0bama Shrine, too. The shrine is gone, but she still has his picture hanging in her living room. Gawd!

I’m sure she’s waiting for an affordable print of his official portrait - you know, the one where he has six fingers and is sitting on someones un-mowed lawn? LOL!

In the urban portions of blue states, the political culture dictates that “those who own guns are dangerous people and should be shunned for your own safety.”

Don’t let your children play with kids whose Dad owns guns. Especially don’t go into their house.

Gun control = people control = culture war = class warfare

[FrankR]

They can’t really think we give a $hit, can they?

You “shun” me because I’m a Trump guy, and you save me the trouble of shunning you first.

FU never-trumpers.

[RedMonqey]

I’m blessed in not knowing such people at all.

Me, too.

But even if my friends or family were liberals, I wouldn't shun they unless they were obnoxious about their view. Sorry, but the highway or my way just isn't a practice I can endorse. Maybe because I love a good debate and having a foil helps keep my wits sharp and make me keep my knowledge of current events sharp.

None of these things happen in a "echo chamber"

"Yes, Mogan-David dinner wine was involved." OMG are you slumming!! I always insist on the finest boxed Franzia Cabernet or Pinot Grigio. Every so often I'll dip a little lower into the proletariat and buy a gallon jug of Carlo Rossi Sangria, but never Morgan-Davia.

[Cobra64]

Ain’t gonna happen since we already ignore them.

[RedMonqey]

the political culture dictates that “those who own guns are dangerous people and should be shunned for your own safety.”

Until the SHTF and civil order is no more. Charlton Heston was amused by his gun-hating friends who came to him wanting a gun when the LA riots happened. He declined, saying giving them a gun without the proper training was irresponsible and dangerous. He was right, of course. Just wish he would name these friends.

Shunning Friends and Family Who Support Trump

Many family members and so called friends probably welcome the snub . . .not putting up with these people could be a relief in their lives.

My large Wisconsin trump loving family was chastised by a nephew and his wife who had moved to boston.
They sent us a nasty postcard at Christmas. FU Matt and Melanie.

“I thought they were against breaking families apart. Wish they’d make up their damned minds.”

No, no, no, Sparky! They WANT to break up American families to get more Mamas and Babies on the Dole and voting for them.

They want to keep Foreign Invader families intact so they can re-distribute America’s wealth to them and buy their votes.

See? They CAN have it both ways.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I secretly wish that the GOP/RNC would be as devious as those on the Loony Left. They always play both ends against the middle.

“Also don’t shop in their stores. Make large marks on the windows in chalk to show that the shop is owned by a JUDE, I mean a Trumpist. And don’t let their children into your schools.”

That’s the spirit! *SMIRK*

[EnquiringMind]

If any of my family members “confronted” me with such bs, I’d just tell them that they are nuts, without common sense.

[MHT]

There needs to be more education about the benefits of GENERATION-SKIPPING TRUSTS... You don’t have to give your assets to liberal children if you don’t want to. And maybe there’s a 50-50 chance that the children of liberal idiots might smarten up!

I have been blacklisted since 1979 for my political views (anti-communist in that era) by the Canadian public service unions and have been shunned by Canadian liberals generally speaking even longer than that. So this is nothing new to me, it is a net positive because it eliminates a lot of pointless small talk.
