Racism, xenophobia and mysogyny are not just different views, they don't deserve to be respected, and i'd have zero problem losing a "friend" who supports the things Trump is pushing. This isn't a matter of differing political views. We are talking about equal rights and basic decency for all people, which goes beyond politics and into a matter of being on the wrong and right side of history.

Damn straight.

So gross
 
Yeah. In the last election AP called California and Washington as soon as the polls closed. It took all of a half an hour to call Oregon.

Yeah. I was watching CNN and the second the polls closed in California, they called it for Obama.

I don't think there's any doubt that California, Orgeon, and Washington will be going for Clinton.
 
Supporting Trump isn't some political opinion I need to respect. He is a deplorable bigot and has said disgusting things about women and minorities. I will not respect that or anyone who is okay with that.

Gawd I really hope there are less of these people than the polls would have us believe
 
However, I’ve seen too much stuff online where people are using “Trump Supporter” should not be used as an insult to invalid a person’s opinion. This has been terrible. Just because someone has different political opinions from you does not mean they’re a bad person. Everywhere I look I’ve seen this. I’ve LEGIT seen people lose their friends because of supporting one candidate or another. Lay down the pitch forks, people.

Depends on what those political opinions are. I agree with you that not every person voting for Trump is bad. I know lots of Republicans who are begrudgingly voting for him. But there are also a lot of people that directly support his racist, xenophobic, and sexist views, and those people probably should be lost as friends.

I gotta quote this for visibility. This is why i had to cut ties to someone i used to see daily. Never really know who people are...
 
I’m disgusted in how people have behaved this election on all sides. Democracy is breaking down.

I’ve seen way too much attacking of people who have different political beliefs. I’ll preface this by saying I am fairly liberal. I voted for Bernie in the primary. I will be voting for Hilary tonight. I think she’ll make an okay president. I think Trump has run an extremely toxic campaign and would be a lame duck president.

If anything, this election has convinced me that democracy is broken. The average person is too immature to have any ounce of self determination

I'm annoyed by false equivalency and I'm tired of being asked to treat nasty, hateful people with respect that they don't deserve.

The world was already like this when we got here. Nobody chose for it to be us versus them. That's just the way it is and the onus is not on us to always be nice. Quite frankly, your righteous indignation disgusts me.

No lies detected. Folks need to group off this both sides bullshit

..hit?
 
They aren't Alex Jones level or Fox but they can be so bias as not be able to reason with them

I just saw them have an argument on how everyone thinks Trump is horrible, but the argument was over whether or not to hold your nose and vote Clinton because she's not that bad, or vote for a third party.

Seemed like a lively debate, which would indicate the capacity to reason.
 
Our ballot was massive and for once I filled the whole thing out without seeking any outside opinions to make my decisions. Feels good.

And for the race everyone cares about, yes I was with her.
 
Pretty sure GAF has attacked the Republican party and its supporters numerous times for their views on LGBT issues.

Deservedly so I might add.

Every person voting for Trump, at best, does not give a fuck about minorities or the gay community.
 
Honestly the OP of every politics thread should directly say "If you're here to whine about both sides are equally then don't even bother posting." Because I and i'm sure everyone else but those people are tired of hearing it. I'm NEVER gonna apologize for saying mean things about racist/sexist/xenophobic conservative pieces of shit who support a candidate that not only is an amalgamation of all of those things and is open about it along with most of his most adamant supporters but knows fuck all about running a casino let alone our country.

Fuck that's like a 20 minute drive from where I'm at. Going to need to take me a drive to confirm this.

Not sure why people want to cling on to "friends" who have these types of views. If you excuse those views, then you might as well have them yourself.

WHAT. Well, I know where I'm going for lunch in a bit.

There it is. It is not a difference of opinion or political perspective, it's common decency versus hate and fear and suppression of people

I've been reading up on Conservative websites ever since Trump got the nom, especially RedState with their #NeverTrump movement. I, correctly for the most part figured that as election day draw closer, they'd start to slam Hilldawg harder and harder, and switch to Trump in the end. And many of them did. But some of them really didn't, and I really respect that.

And I love this article

Donald Trump may be the Republican party nominee, but that doesn’t mean he’s an acceptable vote for President. Many voters will assume he is, just because he’s on the ballot. But you, reading this, are far more informed than the average voter.

You know what his movement is really like. So you own his racism, if you vote for him. You’re endorsing it as acceptable.

Keep in mind, RedState is still a deplorable website, filled with horrible articles that twist the truth and facts in a way only the GOP can. But this broken clock sure is right this time. Except for the part where they blame the Democrats for Trump and how the Dems are the real racists. But what he says up there still stands.

Your friend and roommate that threatened to break your stuff with a baseball bat is a Trump supporter, isn't he? You don't need to defend the guy.
