[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Politics should be a private matter. I really do not understand why people expect all of their friends to hold exactly the same views as them.

The funniest thing is that some of the people who are most vocal about their politics (while denigrating other points of view), love diversity as a concept. Can no one see the irony? What is wrong with differing political views anyway? Does it really scare you so much to have a Trump voter next door?![/quote]

I would love to tell all my friends who are Democrats that I am a Republican. Friends who like and respect me and think (and have said) I am a great mother, fun friend, upstanding citizen, selfless volunteer of my time....they would be shocked that they think so well of a Republican. Thing is, they would cease having any positive regard for me if I did and many have explicitly said so. Not to me specifically, but in general or on FB. I like and respect them, too, even though we don't share the same political views and I can't fathom turning on them for being a Democrat. It's not worth it to me. I'm not a diehard political type and I'm not willing to sacrifice friendships over politics. I will admit, though, that I can't help but judge them for having such a black and white view of the world.  [/quote]

How is it possible that people like you don't understand that this is different? I'm a Democrat and have many Republican friends whom I respect and have respected through many past elections. I've certainly never lost respect for them for voting for McCain or Romney for example. But Trump is entirely different. His bigotry, his sexual assault bragging and other misogynisitic comments, and his utter and complete lack of knowledge of the world and even how government works make him unlike any other Republican. I don't lose respect for friends because they're Republicans. I lose respect for anyone willing to turn the country over to THIS man. There is a difference, so please don't act persecuted that people don't respect this choice. [/quote]

How can "people like you" overreact to a choice that approximately half the country is making as if we are voting to put the KKK in charge of the country? [/quote]

The drama. The catchy headlines. I blame the media.

People, please get your heads out of your asses. The world won't end either way. I promise.[/quote]

Actually it might if Trump becomes President - that's what many of us are worried about. Seriously. The man is completely unqualified to be President and I think my FB friends who enthusiastically support him are losers.[/quote]
