Our relationships in the neighborhood are strained now.
There you go.
At least one member of this forum (don't ask) posted on Faceypage that he will never be friends with anyone who supported Trump.
It feels like this kind of violent disagreement where people get really personal is more common in the US than elsewhere I've lived. The UK went there during the Brexit vote, but most people are probably over it at this point. I used to work with a bunch of people who were really conservative, and we constantly gave each other a ton of shit over it, but it never got nasty, it was just what we call taking the piss, a great British pastime of course.
I feel like the US is moving in a direction where there's no real center any more. And, of course, both sides are blaming the other.
TDS pushed overt, righteous hatred of the other political side into the mainstream. And, of course, neither side is to blame.
Like I said, each side is blaming the other.

Hey like I said, neither side is to blame, right? But my claim that TDS brought righteous hatred of the other political side to the mainstream, is something you could agree with or deny.

I'll blame them. Hell, they deserve it.
They've taken their politics to the bonkers point.
Your politics are pretty bonkers from my perspective.
Nobody thinks their politics are bonkers, obviously. But plenty of people's are.

My politics may be bonkers to you, but that doesn't mean I think you're a bad person or unworthy of buying you a lite beer. A good craft brew might be stretching it, though...

Yeah, because there's zero hatred on the other side. I've noticed that a lot.

Definitely no sarcastic condemnation, either.

Update.
"A supporter of former President Donald Trump is refusing to take down signs at her mother’s home critical of President Biden, despite a judge’s order to do so.
"It’s my First Amendment right, and I’m going to stick with that," Andrea Dick, a New Jersey Trump supporter, told the New York Times on Tuesday.
"Dick, 54, was immediately criticized by some of her neighbors when she put up the signs earlier this year and was ultimately cited and fined by local officials, who said the signs were violating an anti-obscenity ordinance. Last week, Roselle Park Municipal Court Judge Gary A. Bundy ordered Dick’s mother to remove three of the 10 banners or be fined $250 daily.
"Dick says she will not obey that order.
"I’m not backing down," Dick said, adding that she is currently seeking a new attorney to represent her.
Since her current attorney rolled his eyes and beat feet. -

Since her current attorney rolled his eyes and beat feet.When we were kids we would have likely found the most creative way to get rid of that fence…I suspect it would have involved a rope and a car and rapid acceleration. Of course it wouldn’t have been about politics but the universe giving her feedback to step back in line. <—- that is meta analysis. In reality she’d just be a noteworthy target that we could yuck it up about it a more satisfying way.
