To the Editor:Re “They Were My Friends for Years. Trump Tore Us Apart,” by Art Cullen (Opinion guest essay, Feb. 8):I must thank Art Cullen for his beautifully rendered piece that speaks to one of the tragedies in the wake of the Trump presidency.

Paul ThalerBronxTo the Editor:Art Cullen describes the loss of friends due to political differences between them. The left has a terrible inability to countenance differing viewpoints in my experience.
