More recently she lived through the Civil Rights movement and anti-Vietnam War movement, and should appreciate the power of disciplined, nonviolent protest. No excuses.

Yeah how dare she ever be friends with someone with a differing viewpoint! We should personally hate conservatives and not just disagree with their views!

Seriously. She’s disagreeing with them while upholding and defending their right to express their opinion.

Why? Or are you one of these people who can only be friends with people who hold the same political beliefs? How boring. And how insecure you must be in your beliefs that you can only tolerate the company of the like-minded.
