    You must not of had teen children during your glorious leader’s presidency? Every channel on TV, every news story, every post on social media. You are actually saying this didn’t happen? I don’t know why I’m replying to this…..

    You're both Blazer fans.

    And I bet you both like chicken.

    And Pebbles, but I'm guessing one of you is Cocoa and the other is Fruity.

    I have a 15 year old daughter living under my roof. Your pre-judgment has failed you again.

    How does one know when he goes to a new doc or dentist what political affiliation they are? How about when one of your kids grandkids gets married and its in a church, conserv or lib? What if your employer has never tipped his preference and you thought he a decent employer, but then found out he is a conservative that goes to a baptist church? In public schools can you request a certain political or religious preference for your kids teacher? How about kids grandkids sports and their coaches, do you pull them off the team when you find out they are church going, republicans?

    I live in a city that is 96% Hispanic ... and Trump got about 40% of the vote here in 2020, hell 'that man' won the county to our south that sits along the Rio Grande and is 95% Hispanic. I'm not saying you need to change your views but maybe life isn't so much black or white, right or wrong, this or that ... it's a lot more complicated. I agree that when I see the flags waving and the red hats, I have an immediate negative judgment about that person and I'm politically moderate, but I also don't think they are the scum of the earth without getting to know them first.

    Thread start (one guy): "My neighbor stopped talking to me because I bad-mouthed Trump; maybe Republicans are the real snowflakes."

    Majority of thread (multiple posters): "Anyone who supports Trump is a hateful bigot and is automatically cut out of my life."

    Is there a conclusion to be drawn here?

    No one will admit to liking Cocoa or Fruity Pebbles.

    I might not grill the plumber about politics but I damn well want to be sure my doctor thinks women are smart enough to make our own health care decisions.

    And if you’re OK with her absorbing the hate Trump was spewing out and saw no problem with it….she won’t be a part of my kids lives either.

    Hold on…..things are changing…..are you claiming that I am not accepting to people who go to church and are republicans? Because I have some of those people in our lives. Where did you get that from? I’ve never once posted that.

    I detest Trump as much as the next democrat. I’m just not going to alienate myself in this big world by only allowing myself to associate with Democrats.

    Which was what my neighbor is doing.

    Allowing which party someone votes for to be used as some broad brush is stupid to me at least. And that goes for both sides.

    Trump has brought great division to this country. A satisfaction he probably enjoys. I don’t want to feed into it more.

    And yes Republicans are the snowflakes. Too many Karen’s and Ken’s out there that prove me otherwise.

    I have friends who are churh going Christians. And who have no interest in politics. Even friends who like dogs. Even who don't eat dessert.

    But I can't be friends with anyone whose world view is based on hating people who are not straight white Christian men. Or who hurt cats.

    This wasn't directed at you at all. It was just a general comment/question I put out there as the subject is a bit complicated / sensitive. Its a personal thing with people on show they want to view things like this.
