Good God, by your logic your neighbor is obligated to turn you in if you "potentially committed a crime" by running a red light or turning in a library book a week late.



1984 all over again. I darn sure wouldn't want to be your neighbor, or friend.

As mentioned on other threads, at least 10,000 demonstrators who crossed the line into criminal behavior during the summer's civil unrest (not all BLM affiliated by the way) have been arrested.

At best it's willful ignorance.

Also it's not true.

So I guess the multitude of CD posters who have claimed they "never heard of Q" are in the "low political knowledge" category. Not a good look.
Oh please, it’s your side that is constantly saying ANTIFA doesn’t exist so stop your preaching...

I'm a liberal who detested Donald Trump. I have many conservative friends, some of whom loved Donald Trump. We didn't stop being friends, but we learned to avoid certain topics in our conversations. Admittedly it is uncomfortable sometimes, but I still like and respect these people.

If I were the author, I would absolutely bring a plate of cookies over to the neighbors. It's important to show them that no, we don't think "Trumpites" are monsters and, guess what, we're not monsters either. That's the first step to reconciliation.
You didn’t read the whole story... it’s on the following page.

I hardly consider that intolerant. I am a democrat with many friends who are republicans. I simply do not discuss politics with them and change the subject if/when they steer it in that direction. I would not however, want to be in a relationship with someone whose values are so opposite mine. I don’t think my partner and I have to have the same perspective on everything but, there is not a single policy I can think of in which I agree with republicans. To enter into a romantic relationship with someone whose values are so opposite my own is not realistic. I want my partner to share core morals and values with me. That does not preclude friendships with others who don’t share my values. Our friendships may be based on shared hobbies, interests.

Depends, if they were just attending the rally, that isn’t domestic terrorism, by that logic, demonstrators would also be arrested.

And I have a neighbor who has hung our American flag upside down after the election. His property, his right but really, what is the point? I think any political signs these days is simply a way to alienate neighbors. Maybe that’s the point?
