Face it. Over the past sixty years the reasonable social consensus based on commonly held values has eroded in America. Despite calls for “unity” and slogans such as “We are one people” the actual reality is harsh. If a person self identifies as a Democrat or openly states they voted for Biden, just what do decent people have in common with such individuals? Would they ever trust them in any matter of importance or would they ever want to have them in the next foxhole?

“Would they ever trust them in any matter of importance or would they ever want to have them in the next foxhole?...”

There are and have been many opportunities for Liberals to assume the moral high ground and with each opportunity, they choose to make the worst possible choices.

I would have thought that at SOME point, a person (no matter WHAT their politics) would regain their objectivity and ask themselves “What more can I gain by covering myself with S*#t ?”

I wish that I had the exact facebook post that my niece posted before the election, because it showed the complete irrationality of the left.

I will give you the three main questions.
1. How can anyone who considers themselves a Christian vote for Donald Trump?
2. How can a decent person vote for Donald Trump?
3. How can a person who considers themselves pro-life vote for Donald Trump?

I commented and got into a discussion with some of her friends who actually believed that the antifa and BLM riots,
arson and looting done for months last year was done by White supremacists, KKK, and vigilantes.
They said that the riots went on so long because Donald Trump was too weak to stop them.

You cannot reason with these people. I had been on FB for eleven years, but I dumped it soon after that exchange.

There are members of our former church who especially over the past six months have posted vile and violent comments about Trump, his family, and Republicans.

Being located in NE Ohio, it was always a given that at least half of the congregation was made up of Democrats. For twenty plus years I stood between fellow choir members, served as a fellow elder, and did other activities shoulder to shoulder with "friends" whose professions included social worker, city employees, nurses working in the State Workers' Comp system, etc. Of course they were all Democrats, but except for a few isolated moments we avoided any discussion of politics. And on those rare occasions I could ignore it or give one quick quip to shut it down.

Now the masks are off and these people are dead to me. I wrote to the pastor and instructed him to cease any further contact or outreach in any form from his church. One particular fellow posted that Trump's son should be executed. If I ever run into him he'll likely need to be carried from the encounter. So this "shunning" is my last consideration toward them, for their potential safety and my own peace of mind.

Democrats started the last civil war (War Between the States, whatever name one chooses). And as far as I'm concerned they've started another. Anger doesn't cover what I'm feeling. The Republic is dead and the Rubicon flows at our feet.

At some point people will have to admit the dims are actively working to destroy the country. The evidence is everywhere.
