I can relate. I live in a very liberal town in coastal California.
I lost one close friend (of 20 years) after being told that my point of view (being pro-Iraq War) was an insurmountable obstacle to our friendship. I’ve noticed that a few people suddenly treat me differently after finding out I don’t toe the town party line.
I am now much more circumspect about who I open up to with regard to my political views; I’m in the closet politically.
I have a question for those on the left who read PJM: has this happened to you?
