[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How Democrats react if you admit you are a Trump supporter:

[b]If I know you’re a trump supporter, I’d do a slow fade and stop socializing with you.[/b]  That’s it.  No finger pointing, no tirade. What’s the point? I’m not going to change your mind. But I [b]now[/b] know that you view the world very differently than I do, and you are not someone I would want to be friends with because our fundamental values are too different.[/quote]

This, from a member of a party that proudly proclaims their "tolerance."
Truth is - you are not tolerant and never have been.  
I would never do a "slow fade" to someone I know and socialize with due to the voting choices that person makes.  
I am a conservative.  Some of my best friends are liberals.  We have different views on how to make our country great - but the end goal is the same, in reality.  
Gain some perspective, friend.  [/quote]

This has nothing to do with tolerance.  I literally see the world differently than you.  As with anything else, I choose friends who have similar interests, whether politics or anything else.[/quote]

From your post, it seems that you were able to find similar interests BEFORE you discovered this person's voting preferences.  The bolded parts of your posts are the indicators.

Ok, let me be more specific and spell it out for you. For example, if I am friendly with you because our kids go to the same school and are friends, I will continue to be polite, but will not make an effort to socialize with you outside of school events.  Maybe initially, I thought you were nice and seemed like someone I might want to hang out with, so I invited you (and your family) to a bbq, or to get drinks one evening, or whatever.  If I find out that you are a trump supporter, I would realize that [b]we just have vastly different views on right and wrong, and how other human beings should be treated[/b], that I couldn’t be friends with you.  Doesn’t mean I won’t continue to be pleasant during superficial interactions.  [/quote]

There are a few openly Trump-supporting families in our school. We will socialize superficially. Our kids will sometimes play together. I am very polite. But these are not friendships I will foster because deep down we just don't have the same core values.

Oh, I’m not polite.  If any Trump supporter has the nerve to tell me they support this criminal president, I tell them in no uncertain terms that anyone who chooses hate and corruption is absolutely not someone I have any interest in speaking to.  They can roll in their sewer of Fox and rightwing lies on Facebook without me.
If they change their mind and repudiate the GOP, I would love to welcome them back.  But I will not let anyone get away with supporting the lies, corruption, and damage to America that this president and his party are doing.  Goodbye and good riddance.  Trump supporters are not welcome in my life — and they shouldn’t be welcome in the lives of anyone that cares about this country.[/quote]

Republicans in DC are also educated. Support for Trump is probably byissue, and that most Rs would not vote for Hilary (or simply abstain). As to corrupt - have you turned your back on all the corrupt Democrat pols - especially all the pay to play? Let's start with your efforts to oust Bpwser.[/quote]
