New York Times Columnist: If You Support Trump, We Can't Be Friends
Townhall.com ^ | November 26, 2017 | Timothy Meads

New York Times columnist Charles Blow took to Twitter Friday afternoon with a message of unity, no doubt inspired by Divine Providence after rejoicing in the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Just kidding. The author of “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” told his followers point blank that Trump fans need not apply for friendship.

If u support Trump, we don't have anything to talk abt & we can't be friends. This isn't abt parties or ideology; This is abt right & wrong— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) November 24, 2017

He followed up his Tweet saying that Trump’s lying was the cornerstone of his rejection of his political adversaries. 

Lying is a foundational sin; It makes all other sins possible. Trump lies ALL THE TIME. That for me is a deal-breaker out of the gate!…— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) November 24, 2017

Blow also offered a pretty lame life mantra.

This is my mantra: Equal rights for everyone, global warming is real, equal pay, #BLM, #LovesIsLove, #believewomen. And I'm anti-Trump!— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) November 24, 2017

This type of anti-Trump commentary is not that surprising for the opinion writer. In an article titled "Trump Isn’t Hitler. But the Lying...", Blow wrote:

"That is the very real threat we are facing. Trump isn’t necessarily a direct threat to your life — unless of course you are being kept alive by health care that he keeps threatening, or if you’re in Puerto Rico reeling in the wake of two hurricanes — but he is very much a threat to your quality of life."

However, his thinking is delusional for multiple reasons. In his mind, mere support for the president of the United States is an affront to him as a person. Therefore, rather than find commonality with his political opponent on a variety of other issues, the easiest route for him is to cut them out of his life completely. He forgoes the possibility of converting somebody who disagrees with him because it's easier to surround himself with likeminded people. 

Blow is advocating the polar opposite of one our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wrote, "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend." 

What a sad life one leads when they allow political factions to seep into personal friendships.

I never would in a million years want to be a friend with ANY moonbat, and certainly not Charles Blow Job.

The New Yawk Slimes should shut down. What a shame they actually kill trees for pulp which is made into newsprint to print that left-wing crap.

Mister Blow (what an appropriate name!) is an affirmative action fake who graduated from the accomplishment challenged Grambling University which has no records available for inspection regarding graduation in even 6 years. He is the only writer at the NY Slimes that doesn’t have J school degree. Make what you will of that.

Well, the Left is about diversity, tolerance, being open-minded and all those good things.

Indentity politics is the ideology of globalism. The left has ceded all the classic issues in favor of identity politics. This is why economy of the US doesn’t matter to Democrats, we here in the US are “the one percenters” of the world in terms of economics...and a lot of other things.

The left can’t continue to destroy Europe if the US remains a beacon of hope. Hillary Clinton mandate was to do the dirty work here, so they could sink all of western civilization at once -so it would be seen as inevitable.

The left has gone all in on globalism and it’s ideology “indentity politics”, they have used the colleges to trained the shock troops. People who, by design, are otherwise functionally useless in society. Worse off then when they graduated high school: terrible attitudes and hugely in debt. (Can you smell the resentment?)

The left knows this all to well!

Awww... and here I was all ready to support the treatment to fix leftists even if it lowers their 65 IQ down to 60 or so. I think it would be fully worth it just to bring them back into the light and out of the darkness but this Blow guy; I think he should be left alone in his putrid stinking dark hot mess of hate and disrespect to wallow in his self pity for losing a lousy election.

No pudding for Charles Blow to suck on.
