This is a response to a disinformation induced, brain dead and sadly unresponsive, liberal family member who I recently reported...
Wouldn't even be my friend if not related because they don't agree with [me on politics and specific issues] that they have only taken a cursory glance at, at best. They also stated, that they do not want to be friends with anyone who doesn't totally agree with their hyper-partisan worldview. This has cost them lifelong relationships with other friends and 3 children. Of course, friendship with TDS afflicted, cancel culture leftists, necessitates total authoritarian agreement.
During our recent email exchanges, they passed along this link...

My Reply:
I've read that article previously via my own research on this topic. Again, I've had liberal friends since I was a liberal who found rare bi-partisanship in the 9/11 truth and pro-peace movements. I kept most of those friends since I've moved on to being at least a bit center right, AKA the position formerly known as liberal. The friends I didn't keep, were those who saw all possible middle ground, as only more area to turn into scorched earth. One friend in particular, saw it fit to censor me, delete a public conversation, once he (privately admitted) to losing our debate. He also would never give an inch, to a certain deserving research oriented activist, who loses sleep reading while others are in dreamland.
Bowing out of trying to get along without insect or NAZI-like unity, without trying to objectively assess issues concerning division and civil debate is the easy way out. Finding enough of a balance to not tip the scale to the "divided we fall" side requires much due diligence.

8 Tips to Help You Disagree Without Being Disagreeable
Allow for Discussion and Debate - Whether senior leaders actively discourage disagreement or their (or your) management behaviors suggest that disagreement will not be tolerated, the suppression of ideas is part of the formula for failure. Instead of suggesting yours is the only answer, position it as an option to be considered.The Bottom Line - It is important to foster a culture in your company where differing opinions are encouraged...
So how are the lefty ideology proponents doing at implementing this tried and true divisiveness fighting strategy?
Well, there is no shortage of intellectual commentary that agrees they are as bad at allowing dissent as a cult. I'll dive even deeper than that in a sec though. Yes, the left leaners have recently used a "cult" talking point also, but the below facts make this quote a more likely explanation...
Karl Marx: “Accuse Your Enemy Of What You Are Doing, As You Are Doing It To Create Confusion”
An old saying offers a starting point for a deeper dive on the why the left gets an F+++ grade in the preventing division course.
"If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 35 you have no brain." According to quoteinvestigator.com there is no consensus on who wrote the above saying
Being driven by an ideology so fervent that you are not only censoring "wrong think" 1984 style, but also stopping soldiers from doing their assignment because they've yet to have been forced to go to a Communist style reeducation camp... then you might be a bit divisive. Absent a totalitarian police state, no such consensus will ever practically be achieved. Sadly, that means to an end is thought by many (including some famous leftist heroes to varying degrees) to be the current MO and trajectory.
"Democrats Are Administering Ideological Purity Tests to Called Up Guardsmen - Imagine if Trump deployed 25,000 troops to DC in 2016, then sent all the staunch Democrats among them home
Why are we suddenly “vetting” our own soldiers in order to perform a “mission” in a way that appears to be an ideological litmus test? How long will these soldiers remain? These are the questions governors must ask before they sign off on indefinite deployment of their state’s Guard."

Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald blast Facebook for bowing to liberal mob and cracking down on what it deems 'vaccine misinformation' after media pressure
- Carlson argued that Americans are being discouraged from asking 'simple, straightforward questions' about the safety of the vaccine
- His comments followed Facebook's decision to delete posts that it deemed to include misinformation about the vaccine
- He went on to argue that the most 'powerful people in America' - like Facebook - have been working to make sure that no one could criticize it
- Glenn Greenwald told Carlson that Facebook was bowing to pressure from liberal media outlets
- He said if anyone disagreed with them on vaccines, they would be 'shamed'
- Greenwald said Facebook's move was dangerous and unhelpful
Must See! Watch Bill Maher Comes Out Against The COVID-19 Hoax - Liberal comedian sees the writing on the wall, warns Democrats to snap out of pandemic hysteria
IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE COVID IS A HOAX! DEBUNKING THE DEBUNKERS AND PSEUDO-SKEPTICS
Utopia is really just pseudotopia if freedom is the price. Just like peace doesn't come from the point of a gun.
Dems using force to make sure people toe the party line, even if they aren't invited to the party or don't want to come is as extreme as it gets. Those offering denials (psychological projection?) about the prevalence of right wing extremism, again, need to look at the empirical evidence to the contrary...
Bleeding hearts, as opposed to pragmatists, tend to pull on statistically irrelevant heart strings and make issues of little practical significance seem just as important as the reverse, which sadly then get overshadowed and thus omitted from large scale discussion. For example, criminal gangs are the underlying problem with guns in the US, not legal gun owners or the statistically low chance of dying in a mass shooting. Thus, no amount of trying to strip away the absoluteness of the phrases "shall not be infringed" or "inalienable right" will make it common sense to think that legal reforms would stop criminals inherently prone to illegal work arounds.

Trump's bombastic personality and unprecedented punching back at mainstream media attacks, may not make people feel warm and fuzzy inside like the polished speech of career politicians, who operate on the premise of hiding their iron first in a velvet glove. And where you [they] see only mean words, others see effective political strategy, humor, and equal force pushback against the media...
There's an old adage you may have heard of about nice guys always getting last place in the race. Neocon scum and nice guy image expert, Mitt Romney, was attacked less in the media, but in the same no-holds-barred ways Trump was. Democrats on the other hand get treated with kid gloves.
"He didn’t pay his taxes, beat up kids at prep school, put the family dog on the top of the station wagon, didn’t care if an employee’s wife died of cancer ’cause Mitt didn’t care enough about health care, they said all."

The Stolen Elections of 2000, 2004, and Almost 2008
But again, no debate is to be had with our liberal "friends" on the leftist fraud, because to be friends, afterall, we must agree on all current events, cultural, and geopolitical things. The courts used procedural dismissals to avoid evidentiary examination, perhaps to avoid the civil unrest that likely would result, or perhaps to not have their careers being tarnished by accusations that they stole the election for Trump.
In any event, there was dissent and the evidence never had it's day in court, or at the capital for that matter, and YES indeed ANTIFA infiltrators, dressed as Trump supporter protesters, played a significant role in the events of that day, see documentary in second link below.
“Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us,” Justice Clarence Thomas declared Monday, when the Supreme Court decided — by one vote –to hear none of the 2020 election cases raising issues of voter fraud and illegal votes"...

So now, a great many liberals, including you, just argue Trump lost all his court cases. Thus, examination of the evidence by you is unnecessary, but illogically the veracity and impact of said evidence is then claimed to be lacking. These mental gymnastics are paradoxical at best. Lackadaisical for sure. And regardless of the ultimate objective truth, allows a massively and suprisingly bipartisan untrusted election system to stay in place. Nevermind the (IMHO solid) merits of arguments for a more secure system. The need for strong voter confidence (especially given the unprecedented perilous division) alone dictates that the system needs replaced.
POLL: MAJORITY OF VOTERS STILL SAY CHEATING 'LIKELY' AFFECTED 2020 ELECTION - "Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans believe it is likely last year’s presidential election was affected by cheating, a view shared by 30% of Democrats and 51% of voters not affiliated with either major party," the report said.
"The president regularly blasts the media for reporting "fake news" but when you see the evidence, it's hard to argue with him.
Since Donald Trump’s election in 2016, the mainstream media has shed its once-noble mission — the pursuit of the truth — and instead adopted a new purpose: to take down the president.

100% Proof! Russian Collusion was a Hoax Designed to Impeach Trump and Divert Attention from Internal Email Leak & Clinton Criminal Activities

"Trump is intentional, and he’s a counter-puncher - Remember the first Dem primary debate when Kamala out of the blue went after Joe for his “troubling” position on busing a long time ago in an effort to paint Biden as some sort of racist sympathizer? That punch didn’t land despite the MSM’s best efforts to make it seem like it did. The average person was like “what was that about? Why is she attacking Joe for no reason?”
Compare that to Trump’s attacks on others. 99% of Trump’s attacks are in response to being attacked and his attacks almost always land. The left tries to paint Trump like he’s the aggressor, he’s the bully, and they’re somewhat successful at that because he’s so damn good at counterpunching it can seem like he’s just out there knocking people on their asses.
Biden and others are going to be calling Trump a racist like never before for retweeting a video. Just watch. Trump has his counter punch loaded up. Something along the lines of a video playing Joe Biden’s own words about black people and crime and contrasting that with Trump’s criminal justice reform bill and an onslaught of black politicians and supporters coming out for Trump and against Joe. The American public generally doesn’t like bullies but they love people standing up for themselves and bringing light to hypocrisy.

Excerpts:
They make fun of his skin, his hair, his speech, his intelligence, and slander him with vile insults such as racist without a shred of real evidence, just distortions and omissions. We objectively point out Hillary Clinton's easily demonstrable corruption and criminality, but he's the bully and we are deplorables.
