Not trying to start a debate about politics, I’m just asking should a friendship come in between personal beliefs?
shareNo. I've been close friends with people with very different views to my own. Same with religion. So long as neither party tries to force their viewpoint on the other. I still look on those people as some of the finest I've known.
shareIt should not.
I have way more in common with the average person who holds political beliefs opposite of mine than I ever will with the elite politicians who could care less about us.
I'm pretty natively political. Trump supporters, I could never get too close to - there is something evil & hateful about that guy - anyone attracted to him would tend to repel me.
Our family is, in fact, divided just about down the middle on that problematic individual. They're all Catholic, but half of them don't see how destructive he is, which baffles me.
Being a traditional conservative I could understand, but they're all w/ Trump now, so I sort of wash my hands of the lot.
I respect peoples differing views, but in terms of friendships shared values come into play.
No, not unless they're an extremist in which case I'd likely already be in the know and steer clear.
The truth is I don't trust either side and believe most people have both conservative and liberal beliefs anyway. It would be foolish to expect everyone to agree with everything I think and don't think they're evil if they don't ...I expect the same in return.
