Can you be friends with people who don't share your political views?

Yes, but it's limited if they are a Republican. Hopefully, they keep any passion for Trump to themselves. I would then only be capable of being polite to them if they were a MAGA A-Hole.

@SW-User my two best friends voted for trump. They both, and their husbands, wish they had not.

@Carla Voting itself? It really would depend. Hoping for some remorse and not being a racist. I don't think I could be friends with someone supporting Trump's shut down or child separation policy.

@SW-User the child separation thing turned both their stomaches. They both regretted their decisions as soon as the blatant lying became so evident. Unfortunately, we didnt discuss politics till after 11/16.
I wish people would do the responsible thing, when it comes to voting..in any election. Information is available at the touch of a button. And peoples actual words and deeds are difficult to manipulate...

@Carla The hatred of Hillary (who ran a horrible campaign) was just too much for many. I wasn't a big fan, but it wasn't a choice for me. I knew Trump was a monster.

@Carla It's heartening to know some folks regretted their choice to be honest. I find support for him now unfathomable.

@SW-User i was discussing that very thing with my sister, this morning. She wasnt my choice either. But, i knew, too, that trump was a fraud. You cannot be older than 35 and not know what he has been about, his entire life.
