As discussed with @Papa Lazarou in the pub tonight, Mindy from Long Beach is a persona non grata as far as I'm concerned.

If you support the Trump shitshow then I have no interest in you being part of my life.
It’s a terrible thing to lose friendships over politics, such a shame. Over half my friends hate Trump, but we just agree to disagree, who agrees everything with everyone after all?

I’d kiss and make up if I was you, life is too short…

Except this isn't just a difference of political opinions. The nicest thing i can say is that Trump represents a complete absence of morality. Forget about his politics, every person who voted for him already knew for a fact he was a serial liar, racist, convicted fraudster and sexual abuser. Not hyperbole fact. My personal favourite is his mad mission to destroy the world's climate but I accept there are still some people in your country who are simply to scared/deluded/ignorant to care about that one. Anyway the point is anyone who supports him is very clearly telling the rest of us who they are too. So why would I want a friend like that?

My wife's sister-in-law, a Californian, was a member of a hiking group. There was about twenty of them. Recently she and six others were 'asked to leave' as they are decent old-school Americans and hate Trump, what he's doing and what he stands for. And this is in San Francisco, not some hick one-horse town in a Redneck state.

I appreciate this is only one American's perspective but she says she's never known division like it.

Absolutely classic NSC this evening.

I'm really torn. I have made a judgement that @lasvegan is a decent bloke.
But Trump really is human diarrhoea.

No it isn't. While I generally agree with you about not falling out over politics (I wouldn't fall out with a socialist or a tory), there has to be a limit. Would you not fall out with Hitler for a silly thing like politics? So what if he wants to kill all the disabled people, black people and Jews - each to their own eh? And while Trump isn't Hitler, he has no qualms about thousands of people dying or being ethnically cleansed while he tries to treat other countries as real-estate opportunities.

Having the facts available, and supporting Trump, is simply unforgiveable.

I think the comparisons with Trump to genocidal, maniacal, dictators is also all a bit silly, but what do I know…

Anyway, I’m off to fire bomb another Tesla dealership…

Putin is a genocidal dictator. He's stolen thousands of children from Ukraine, to bring them up as Russian. That is genocide.

Trump supports Putin. He won't call Putin the aggressor, and has called for the war crime charges against him to be dropped.

And Trump has his own genocidal ambitions - to forcibly remove all the Palestinians from their homeland, so that Trump can build an American Riviera in the Middle-East.

Can you list all the things Trump has done recently which would have angered Putin?

How has this thread of love turned to hate? This isn't twitter people, get a grip.
A thread started as a result of being drunk. Most conversations which start in a similar way end up turning into arguments in my experience.

But this is days later. Surely most of us are sober by now?

Well yes, but as they have already hinted at, they get a choice of two arseholes to pick from and this time they went for the funnier one.

Politics isn't good versus evil. It's evil versus evil with a few good people on the sidelines. The CIA operated under republicans and democrats destroying democracies it didnt like.

Of course this current gang are more flagrantly facist than usual but you have to look at the whole two party establishment rather than demonising those that opted for shit option A rather than shit option B.
