A friend from High School posted a meme on FB saying “I’ll still be your friend however you voted”. My response:

It’s a noble sentiment, and one I would have largely shared until 2016. But it’s no longer a Center-Right party against a Center-Left party, is it? It’s not a contest between two largely similar visions of America. It’s a contest between a vision that defines “America” as an ideal, where all who follow that ideal are welcome, and one that defines “America” as a white, Christian nation that works to exclude the nonwhite and nonChristian, that pursues whatever means it can get away with to disenfranchise the nonwhite nonChristian, and which turns its back on its fellow democracies in favor of dictatorships.

You vote for the latter vision, I’m not sure I CAN be your friend.
