I faced this dilemma recently. I met and befriended a neighbor who seemed to enjoy my company. I knew she was very conservative in her politics, but I assumed that she was a reasonable conservative like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney. Boy was I wrong! When I saw her Trump lawn signs right after the appallingly sycophantic MAGA convention, I mentioned it in an email, saying “Really?” Her response was furiously abusive, calling Liz Cheney a “RINO” and gaslighting me for my so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” At that point, I knew our friendship was over.
