Americans are going to have to cut off their MAGA family and friends if they haven't already [View all]

There can no longer be “normal” relations with Trump voters.

No longer can we just look the other way. No longer can we just engage nicely with Trump voters by politely avoiding political discussions.

Elections have consequences and it’s time that the political Civil/Cold War that America is in takes another step.

I have cut off friends who I know voted for Trump. And now I’m moving to family members. They don’t get to enjoy my company ever again.
