Apparently our daughter can’t. Crickets since 11/6. Fails to respond. Christmas was less expensive. 🤔
Can you still be friends despite political differences?
___________________________________________
No. You can work with them. Be related to them. Be sociable, nice and cordial to them.
But never friends. Do not trust liberals.
You can’t fix stupid but you can stun it with a tire iron.
No
I think friendship is like love, there is something that two people find in each other besides agreement on everything.
In love we see people of different religions, different politics, different conspiracy theories, different ideas on raising children, even differences of the Montagues and the Capulets, and accept it, well friendship is like that, two people connect and can argue all those things from the heart and be good friends while doing it, growth can’t happen without it.
Families couldn’t work and endure if sameness was required.
Not when the other side wants you silenced or dead.
No, because political difference are not political differences. They are demands by the other side for you to give up rights, to pay for their crap, and to suffer.
Yes. I have a lot of friends who do not agree with me, but we have other common interests. We simple do not talk about things we disagree about.
I have good friends who are liberals. We are older now so a bit mellow. Also, I don’t allow political talk in my company. I usually don’t see my friends except on wilderness camping trips. We have more important and pressing things to worry about, like getting past the next set of falls, setting up camp, and fixing a decent dinner. As I point out, it’s just us and the wilderness. There’s no politics there.
I haven’t been friends or civil with any of “those people” since Nov. 2016. I’m fine with it. Don’t care if they are or not. I’ve moved on. Clearly, I was on the RIGHT side of history.
It’s not up to us. They have told us that we can’t ever be friends.
I can’t because most of the left are parasites who think they are uncapable of making their own way in life. I can’t bear to be around the type of mentality that says I am incompetent of looking after myself.
My dear friend and fellow quilter was a rabid liberal. We understood what topics were open for discussion, and what weren’t. She was a generous and kind person, and died of breast cancer in 2018.
At times, her ahole husband would start with a political dig, and she shut him down immediately.
With liberals, yes, with leftists no.
We can. They can’t.
Not if they are communists or support communists.
How can you be friends with someone that supports the people that want you killed?
There’s politics and there’s politics.
Anyone who supports some of the evil shit today’s Left calls politics - is no friend of mine.
I can still be friends with some pretty stupid Leftists who support some pretty stupid things.
But the ones who have cheered and fist-pumped over what has been done to President Trump and his supporters over the last eight years - they are dead to me.
I like dogs and maybe 3 people.
The article touches on it - but the answer is the degree to which outward, soundbite “politics” is an expression of that person’s most core beliefs and values.
I have friends from church who vote leftist. I feel they are doing so for emotional or knee-jerk reactions, but it’s hardly the sum of their character. They still believe in Christianity and put their family and local church, work and social connections above political slogans. I can easily connect with these people on the 90% on which we agree vs. the 10% we don’t agree.
I know others for whom “politics” is the sum of their moral system. They don’t seem to have underlying core beliefs, only behavioral habits. For them, the societal fashion and political slogans of the day seem to control their character - and always have them in a state of confusion, anger or depression. It’s very difficult to be friends with them.
