Have you ever been called a liberal for criticizing Trump?
Or just for expressing views that a lot of conservatives don't agree with?

Would you believe I've been called a liberal? Trump is a catalyst that exposed something that was already there. I'm very pro Trump. It's just the filters of our perception.
What we are born with.
What we are fed. (exposed to and taught)
Our experiences and the methods of our upbringing.
Our social / family role. (mascot, scapegoat, hero, lost child, emotional dust bin etc .......)
There are plenty of thinking people who support Trump, and plenty of idiots who don't. It's the stereotyping that feeds the fire. People seem to assume that Trump's oafish nature appeals to the Pabst Blue Ribbon drinking, NASCAR and pro wrestling watching, nicotine fiends and meth maggots in trailer parks across America., and is not the 'thinking person's' president, but this is a fallacy. Things are not always what they appear to be on the surface. There are so many variables and extenuating circumstances involved in the filters that we adopt that determine our political leanings. Nobody wants to take their 'Trump glasses' off. I've lost a lot of friends over this president, and I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't a giant step towards an eventual 'civil war' in the US between the culture warrior 'left' and the salt of the earth 'right'. Norman Rockwell is not going to disappear and Andy Warhol is here to stay, and Micheal Moore and Michelle Malkin are not going to shut up. As I said earlier, "Pray for peace- prepare for war." Colleges becoming bastions of totalitarianism and fascism is not a good sign for things to come.

@hlpflwthat Yeah....I'm not unaware of the implications concerning the strength of a friendship, but if someone see's you as a Nazi, that kind of throws a wrench in the works, and I won't pander to my own family, much less someone who isn't related to me. I know what's right and I know what's wrong, and I refuse to compromise my values. If the whole world is buggering sheep, I'm still not going to do it.
