There are people I know who I literally can't talk politics anymore. Not since the election. If I say anything that isn't anti-Trump (forget about Pro Trump) then I've been accused of being a bully.

You can't say anything that paints Trump in a good light unless you temper it for the libs and progressives. You have to start with "I hate his twitter rants" before you say that you think a temporary travel ban to allow proper vetting is a good idea.

Progressives eat that sh1t up.
