That's like saying "I know friend is a shitty person who treats others poorly, but we're still cool because he hasn't done it to me."

This kind of mentality is so pervasive in America specifically, its scary. I guess it makes sense considering there hasn't been true violent strife in over 150 years, but still.

One side is cheering state sanctioned police going across our country, and ripping families literally away from each other, and shoving them in concentration camps, then deporting them to countries they've never lived in before. Without due process.

No, I will not be friends with people who think that that is right.

What do you think happened during the civil rights movement? They all just asked nicely to not be treated like shit and then the government said 'okay'?

you're a tool if you think there hasn't been "true violent strife" in over 150 years. That's utter horse shit.
