Give Trump A Chance

January 27, 2017 by Michael Boyle

Another old friend (I have lots of old friends, and they’re all freaking out) wrote an amazing piece in Medium that is definitely worth a read. In the piece, he suggests that in the face of CFAF (Conservative Friends and Family) who insist that you should “Give Trump a Chance”… that you should. Accede to their request, shut up about him and what he’s doing.

But… with conditions:

you want me to keep my stupid liberal mouth shut? You want your fucking glorious leader to bask in the light of Heaven and lead us to the promised land? Fine. But now YOU bear the burden of keeping him in check. YOU are the watcher at the gates. I’m not asking you to say you’re wrong. And I promise I won’t yell ‘ha!’ in your face. This isn’t some gotcha game. I know exactly where my boundaries are, and what I am willing to tolerate. I have drawn a line and know when it is crossed. It has been crossed so many times this week I feel like I can’t even see straight…

So, to be clear… my line has been crossed. What I want to know is this…where is your line and when it is crossed?
