The Best Movies Of 2018 So Far
Horror master Stephen King ― a frequent critic of President Donald Trump ― called for an Independence Day truce between progressives and conservatives.
The best-selling author tweeted a message calling for people on the left to hug a conservative... and asking “Trumpies” to do the same for a “liberal snowflake.”
“Just for today, let’s all be Americans,” he pleaded:
Progressives, go find a Trump supporting friend--the one you haven't spoken to since November of 2016--and give him or her a hug. Trumpies, find a "liberal snowflake" friend and do the same. Just for today, let's all be Americans.

Many of those who replied said they just couldn’t do it:
Because I am indeed an American, I do not hug those that support a man who spits on the Constitution and was installed with the help of a foreign power. I'm weird that way.

Impossible, Mr. King. Admirable, but impossible.

Stephen King, you are *such* a sweetheart. I can't do that, though. It's gross.

I love you @StephenKing, but this tweet shows your straight, white, male privilege. This is not a time for hugs. #Resist
