Media is having a non-stop masturbatory frenzy about the other side displaying different opinions about the crap-storm in Iran and the way Trump is/will/may handle it. And I understand what id happening: They are not used at people in the same group voicing anything but one approved talking point.

We do not goosestep our brains to be synchronized with what some self-appointed political leader says is “the way.” We watch, trying to see the pros and cons and we take our personal position that may or may not agree with what others in my sphere think. And guess what? We acknowledge that [shudder] we can be wrong and others be right which may lead to some of us [horror] change our minds! Or even worse, others who disagreed with me may change their minds and accept my point of view!

They shot it loud from the rooftops, but it is never practiced.

In fact I think it's worse than that. The average progressive seems to think that disagreement equals dislike, and that runs in both directions. You are supposed to disagree with those you dislike, no matter what.
