Yes, this “esteemed colleague/my friend” garbage is what is wrong. It would be like in the 1850s calling a slaveowner “my friend” when you’re trying to eradicate slavery, or calling a Nazi in the 1940s “my friend.”

There is a place for political friendship, but it assumes both parties have the same GENERAL and OVERALL outlook, namely that the US is the best place on earth as currently constituted; that yes we can always improve; but any attempt to destroy the US as currently constituted is nothing less than treason. Once we agree on that, we can have policy differences as to how to improve the “little things” that still divide us.
