Former Obama speechwriter, David Litt, wrote a guest essay for the NYT titled, “Is It Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?” Before you even begin to think that maybe some members of the liberal mafia have somehow defrosted their cold hearts towards their conservative family members, that’s not really what Litt is arguing for here. So, he sympathizes with his left-wing allies who are willing to shun those with whom they disagree to “motivate them to mend their ways.” Still, he found that, for some reason, this abhorrent behavior did little to make conservatives learn their lesson. Still, according to Litt, despite knowing that political differences play “into the hands of demagogues, making it easier for them to divide us and even, in some cases, to incite violence,” there are those he believes should be considered “untouchables” for their political views.
