Stole this from a friend but I think it really captures my feelings towards people I know still pushing for Trump:
Just for clarity, as some people still don’t get why people unfriend them over what they see as politics.
It is completely possible to reconcile political differences over tax policy or how many dog catchers to have. If you can’t be civil over policy issues, then the problem is internal, not external.
That said, most of the current GOP positions are really judgements on things that have a moral, not political landscape and most of them (gay rights, BLM, immigration, etc) all involve judging the validity of someone else
(is your marriage valid? Are you equally protected? Are you ‘legal’?).
These are moral judgements that aren’t the same class as policy differences. People aren’t really listening to the calls for civility coming from the same mouths that deny their validity as people.
Many Trump supporters like him because he deregulates or lowers taxes or some other reasonable policy choice, not his polemics on social issues. I get that.
