Could you be friends with someone that has opposite views politically?

I’m doing a poll for class! And, to explain more. For instance, if you voted for Biden could you be friends with a trump supporter? And vice versa.

What does that even mean opposite? The ends don't justify the means - both political parties are supposed to want the same thing - personal liberty, free markets and a democracy - the ideals of the 2 parties are not "one size fits all" Can I not want gun control but oppose abortion? Can I be against capital punishment, and be pro-immigration?

By stoking the flames of dissent we are in danger of becoming tone deaf to our own values.

In a short answer - absolutely yes, we can be friends with others who don't share our views, especially when they share our moral values...
