The author is right. My sister is a very liberal
Dem and she will not even talk to me on Twitter, because I post supportive things to our president.
We couldn’t be more different. She had an abortion while I would never in a million years ... which is why my first boyfriend wouldn’t have s** with me; he just wanted the convenience. No thanks.
It is sad how divided this country has become. After President Trump was elected, I said to my husband, well Thanksgiving should be extra interesting this year...
Good points about liberals. And it doesn’t seem to hold for most conservatives. We will discuss this kind of stuff, and relish the opportunity to discuss it. Most liberals immediately launch into ad hominum attacks.
But it is just as solid an indicator in religious circles. A Muslim coworker and I stated discussing Jesus and His claims, a fairly religious conversation, which neither of us seemed to have much problem with. The muslim coworker was denying the claims and I was discussing historical evidence for same. But when I brought up Mohammed’s different claims, the conversation took a very black turn and he stood up, arguing that he would not stand for any denigration of the Prophet, and then stomped out.
I sometimes wonder if the angry disagreement mentality of Muslims and Liberals stems less from tribalism, then from the internal recognition of the weakness of their position and their arguments.
The country was always this divided. The only difference is that the right is actually fighting back now. The bullies in the left, who are used to getting their way, call that aggression.
