Am currently fighting exactly this battle on Facebook.

Many of my FB friends (I have about two dozen in toto) and virtually all of my FB family members are dyed-in-the-wool liberals, and many of them are making truly despicable statements about wishing a horrible death on President Trump. When I "call" them on that - referring to the alleged "tolerance" of liberals and accusing them of hypocrisy - they claim that conservatives are just as bad (posting Internet memes - probably faked - of alleged conservatives allegedly wishing to run over BLM demonstrators, etc.). When I point out that that is not the same (being in fear of your life when your vehicle is surrounded by angry mobs is sui generis), an argument inevitably ensues.

These arguments are rather unproductive and lack traction, however, because they really understand virtually nothing of Aristotelian logic, and couldn't differentiate between a fallacy and a hole in the ground.

Regards,

We can’t peacefully coexist with them. Don’t even try. Cut your ties with them because when the war gets hot you will be faced with choices you may not be comfortable making. They will kill you in a new york minute so you are going to have to be the windshield or the bug.
