I've read your reply multiple times looking for flaws. Your reply seems true but it's hard to take. These are friends and relatives of mine who in the past always seemed to have (and use) a real moral compass, who seemed to believe that morality was never irrelevant, who didn't seem to be carrying hate for Democrats and the "other" , . . .

The gradual loss of objective realty among my family and friends has been the greatest heartbreak of the last decade.
I am a conservative but reality, goodness, truth and beauty still must be maintained or life isn't worth living.
