I will no longer waste time and energy attempting to "discuss" Trump with anyone

who still supports him. To any talking points they spit out I will respond: "Trump is mentally incompetent and dangerous. Until you accept that, you are part of the problem."

Nothing else. Nothing that dignifies their vile nonsense.

are as entitled to their opinions as I.

I replied that if we were to remain friends, we could not talk politics until he came to the realization how wrong he was. He looked puzzled, so I told him "The country neatly divides into two groups, patriots and traitors. Trump supporters are simply traitors. I hope you will some day come to see the error of your ways. Until then, you are a traitor."

He didn't take it well.

Not as eloquently, but basically told a Trumper friend, we are through.

Obviously he wasn't a real friend.

No one supporting the Orange Child is a friend.
