I had a friend once. We aren\u2019t friends now. It\u2019s over because I don\u2019t see politics the way he does.

It wasn\u2019t always like this. We used to think alike. This is like music you used to love. Once we both believed the same songs were worth something. Maybe we even thought Aerosmith was the real thing. Then one day one of us didn\u2019t. That\u2019s all it is. Taste. Feeling. The way one responds to a sound. It shouldn\u2019t have cost a friendship, but it did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
