Has anyone lost friends over this election?

Have any of you had a friendship go sour because of serious disagreements this election? I don't mean for this to be a political debate, just curious whether anyone has had the same experience. I know plenty of people on both sides of the isle who I respect, but this election seems to bring out the worst in people.

I agree with you, this election is bringing out the worst in some people. I haven't lost any friends over it, but I have questioned how well I know some of them lol

No way, mostly because I support neither candidate and despise them equally. Aside from that, no friendship is worth losing over politics.

IMO, race issues get misreported more than they get over/under reported. On one hand, anecdotal issues get blown way out of proportion because they make good headlines. On the other hand, serious issues like mass incarceration and people calling BLM a "hate group" get no attention at all.

Not friends, but I've definitely cut back on my FB list. LOL

That too haha. I deleted my facebook a year ago for that exact reason- there are people I knew I would simply end up arguing with.

and you are learning too in how everyone can have little respect with each other. The Art of Politics. Divide the community and be the one who will bandage it all up and blame someone else for the mishaps

Not in real life. But online I've definitely discovered who my friends actually are---and aren't.
