I think people who can't get along with others, and can't keep their mouths shut without spouting divisive, hateful rhetoric at a backyard barbecue should be shunned. Yes.
And I still think that. People who purposely seek to offend should be shunned.
That’s not what you said. You weren’t discussing backyard barbecues. You said Trump supporters should be shunned from society.. You didn’t want to have them be in your country, or words to that effect. I’m sure I could find the exact posts if you need your memory jogged.
Honestly it’s your choice to be offended. Everyone has the First Amendment right to say hateful, harmful, offensive, divisive things. It’s un-American to say those people should be shunned. We should not be a nation of group think.

Hey, this is a POC forum, and everyone comes here to argue about politics.
I don't ever do this in my real life, in social situations. Ever. Because it's vulgar, and uncouth to spout political opinions that are divisive when not everyone comes to the barbecue to discuss politics.

I think I was talking about shunning them from neighborhood barbecues, actually. Then someone got their knickers in a twist and started something about they shouldn't all be fired, etc. which isn't what I said.
I said you should look down your street when you're planning a neighborhood barbecue and skip dropping invitations off at the houses with large TRUMP or MAGA signs.

No, it isn't my "choice" to be offended. And I'm kind of hard to offend - but when someone is TRYING to offend me, I notice it and react.
Everyone certainly has the right to say whatever they want, and if they are offensive, they're not coming to my barbecue or if I miss noticing who they are before inviting them, they'll be asked to leave.

I would think the right wing would have to "admit" that. That they couldn't stand to see Obama get a second term, and now they'd rather see our country cut in half and dead (think King Solomon's baby dilemma) than continue on successfully under a democrat majority.
