Dershowitz, probably the most respected legal scholar in neocon circles after Rudy Giuliani, is facing some troubles in his neighbor hood:

In a recent column published in The Hill (http://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/394346-maxine-waters-does-not-speak-for-democrats-or-liberals), lawyer Alan Dershowitz claimed he has been shunned by his “old friends” on Martha’s Vineyard for his defense of Donald Trump, despite being a Democrat.
“The divisions have gotten so bad that many on both sides refuse to speak or listen to those on the other side. Either you are for Trump or against him, and that is all some people need to know to make judgments about you,” wrote Dershowitz. “I know this because I have experienced this firsthand on Martha’s Vineyard.”
Dershowitz, most famously known for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial, accounts how friends on Martha’s Vineyard have declared a need for “safe spaces” away from his ideas, comparing the apparent isolation to that of McCarthyism in the 1950s. The column was meant to denounce the political division encouraged (http://fortune.com/2018/06/25/rep-maxine-waters-tells-supporters-to-harass-trump-cabinet-members/) by Maxine Waters and the current administration, but instead has caused the public to mock Dershowitz for his complaints.
