It’s still possible to be friends with someone and disagree with their views. Think Xavier and Magneto

I totally agree, I think we’re on the same page with not having to agree with everything your friend may say. I’ve seen a lot of people saying Ron should’ve gone down with the ship which is dumb because they were cherrys words and he has to own them, no one else. MacLean is definitely somewhat of a victim in this story and I do feel bad for him in a sense, but I’ll just go back to the inconsistency in his statement from last night. He’s surely seen the vast reaction from certain people impugning Cherry himself as a bigot and a bad guy and not just taking issues with his words and that’s what I’d look for any of my friends to defend me against. Something along the lines of “I don’t agree with Dons statements from last night and he has yet to apologize for them but despite what he said he’s a good guy who does a lot for the community and is not a bigot as a person”. You can defend the person while condemning the words. and if on the chance you don’t want to defend the person because you believe from your years together that theyre a bigot then why are you calling him your friend.
