Can you still be friends despite political differences?

Disagreeing over political differences doesn’t stem from being close-minded, but rather from the fact that our views are often core to our character and how we live our lives. This can create a deeper separation and divide in friendships…

NO !!!

I have not talked to or contacted/corresponded with My sister since she was in agreement and swallowing the corrupt $}{!T that President Donald j. Trump was accused of starting the “insurrection” by nazipelouzy and upchuckyschlepter.

My rule of thumb is as follows:

As soon as I discover that someone I know, including close friends AND family memebers, whom are not conservative.....I DROP THEM LIKE HOT POTATOES!

It has saved me unknown numbers of headaches, heartaches and I could not care less if they like my attitude or not. I’ve even had to threaten a few with getting physically thrown out of my house if they did not leave.....IMMEDIATELY!

Additionally, I simply cannot understand people who treat their enemies in any other fashion. Understand this: THEY ARE ALL ENEMIES.....not friends, not family members.....ENEMIES!

So I guess if you ignore your core principles, you can still admire someone who is the opposite.

We are all just people, falling short of the Perfection of Christ. Sometimes you just have to accept the 85% solution because it is better than the 20% solution.

From the article: "Can you still be friends despite political differences?"

The key term in that question is "still be".

The answer is no, you can't, because you never were.

You thought you were but they didn't. They associated with you as long as you fulfilled a role they expected you to. That's not friendship.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Nope!

You can’t fix stupid but you can stun it with a tire iron.

PERFECT !!!

ROFLMAOPIMP and on the Dog because He won't get out of the way as I'm trying to get to the toilet !!!

I'm going to blend that with:

[US_MilitaryRules]

had a neighbor who needed to replace his well pump, I offered to do it as I had a Well puller and his well was over 300 ft. down. I went over set up and tuned into my Fav radio guy the Rushbo show on my truck. My neighbor informed me that he hated Rush and would appreciate it if I turned him off. I said no Problem and after I turned it off I started packing up my equipment. He was very upset and asked what the problem was. I said I was doing him a favor and in lui of pay I would have liked to listen to a show I enjoyed. He ended up paying a guy 4000.00 dollars to pull and install a new pump which I would have done for free.

I got the biggest smirk on my face reading that.

On a similar non-political vein, I work out at cell towers. We are not supposed to have smoking in our buildings. I hate smoking, I think it is stupid. With that said, when we hire crews to climb our tower, and they light up, I'm not saying squat. Dude, if you are willing to climb 300 feet up a tower when it is 15 degrees outside, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em."

Truth be known, most liberals would be happy to see their conservative co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances, and even their own family members be sent off to re-education camps.

Yep. It’s amazing! So tolerant they just stop talking to you altogether!! 🙄

“It must be a character flaw.”

*************

I worked around lots of insufferable liberals (don’t ask) and most of them view conservatives with unabiding contempt. You see, liberals view themselves as morally and intellectually superior to the unwashed masses so anyone outside their tribe is flawed, ignorant and obtuse. Only they are the enlightened ones.

My previous dentist used to listen to NPR all day. He was a good and very gentle dentist but imagine being drilled on while having to listen to NPR. LOL

[KC_Conspirator]

Agree on that.

It’s interesting that by cutting us off they think they’re punishing our side when it’s often them doing us a favour. Reminds me of the sex strike many ugly leftist womyn proposed in the wake of Trump winning to uh punish the awful males who voted. It was more comical than a threat. Their thinking is messed up obviously.

[Sarcazmo]

Yeah. Sorry, just curious.

Apparently our daughter can’t. Crickets since 11/6. Fails to respond. Christmas was less expensive. 🤔
