i haven't had anybody i considered a friend that was a RAT since Reagan was elected,,,Politics has become a battleground of value systems.
When you have two values systems that are anathema to ea h other, it’s hardly surprising that you can’t be friends with each other.
You get to a point where the best solution is physical separation of the two groups.
As a thought experiment, if all Leftists were vaporized, what would the world lose?
I, however, was happy to NOT make obama people dead to me. I liked to screw with them about things obama did.
he forgot to add - but you will continue to accept all the support they give you, especially financial support.
It's hard to move out of Mom's basement. Nor should you, just because she voted for Trump. ;-)
“The eight stages of genocide are classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination, and denial.”
Stages of Genocide. Seems we are entering into the polarization phase. We’ll see if there ever have the balls to cross the line of departure and walk into the teeth of the 2nd amendment.
They've said over and over again, that they don't want to "normalize Trump." But what they're doing here is actually dehumanizing those with whom they disagree. Former friends are relative are "dead to you?" Gee, that's exactly what Mao, Hitler, and Stalin demanded of their people in order to slaughter them by the tens of millions.
I have never "unfriended" the hard core leftist "friends" I have on FB, though I rarely go there any more, and when I do, I have to admit I do enjoy tweaking them at times. But I have been "unfriended" by dozens of people on FB. I am dead to them. That's find. But when I was unfriended by a couple of family members, well that got me to thinking that was exactly how it starts. Children informing on their parents. Neighbors and co-workers informing. Then the short walk to liquidation.

i haven't had anybody i considered a friend that was a RAT since Reagan was elected,,,Chauncey Devega must not be familiar with the Western construct of inheritance and how potential beneficiaries should watch their p-s and q-s at the risk of being left out in the cold over shows of disrespect.
But his mindset does give a glimpse into why there are so many ongoing conflicts in places like South America and Africa - everybody’s walking around with chips on their shoulders and are taught to unconditionally hate anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint. 100 politicians shot in Mexico this election season - by people who think like Chauncey - and it’s not even primary day.
So many leftists are just extremely intollerant and closed-minded (while laughably claiming to be the opposite). This one from Salon also seems to be delusional on top of that.
Works for me. I’ve already cut anyone who supported obama and the hildabeast out of my life. Now if we can decide who gets what part of the country ...
