Dumping friends over politics or religion

[CapnAwesome]

I already explained that I don't end all my friendships simply for having different ideas. I stand by what I've said. Again... if someone can justify racism or being a bully to feel better for voting for Trump, I'm done.

You are disqualifying a huge percentage of people just because of the way they voted. That is ending friendships for having different ideas. It's like saying "I don't unfriend someone for being a vegetarian, but I'll unfriend a vegan." Not only is it closed minded, but it is the least effective way of changing someone's mind. If you want to reach Trump voters and help them 'see the light' or whatever, the last thing you'd want to do is stop communicating with them.

It also makes me think maybe you don't have confidence in your own ideas, and don't even want to see or hear Trump voters. It's easy to characterize Trump voters however you want if you don't actually know any of them, and not knowing any of them is your own fault since you stopped being friends with all of them. How do you know anything you say about Trump voters is even true, if you've removed all of them from your life?? I think you are making a mistake.
