I'm a liberal, I have a co-worker who's a NeverTrump conservative, and we've bonded a lot over Trump's lack of decorum, professionalism, and basic respect for other human beings.

Unfortunately, NeverTrump conservatives like him are few and far between. Sadly, the majority of conservatives I've encountered have completely sold out their principles to support Trump.

I would argue that by befriending and bonding with your conservative coworker over shared ideas, you are doing a great service to your country. You are talking to someone that disagrees with you, finding common ground, and co-existing in peace. That's all that's required for democratic government to function properly. The problem is that many people on both the left and the right refuse to do their duty in this regard and instead choose to vilify and hate their opponents.
