These decades old friendships are part of the dems problem. They view their GOP counterparts as basically decent human beings with differences in opinion. That may have been the case in the past, but not any longer. The GOP actively works against representative government. They believe & have pushed policies that prove this belief, that only some people deserve to vote - mostly white, rich people. Representative government was fine as long as the uppity women & people of color kept to their place.

The dems need to wake up. The GOP is the enemy of the People. This is a fight for a government of, by, & for the People.
