Does someone’s political beliefs affect how you view them?

@QueenOfZaun I'm actually in a quandary with my best friend. I've known this guy my entire life, ever since he saved my ass in Cub Scouts (long story which I'll get into later). We've got so much in common. But he voted for Trump, both times, and he agrees with so many of Trump's policies that we can't even talk politics anymore. I've been afraid to ask him what he thinks of the man since his meltdown and the J6 insurrection, because if he gives the wrong answer, that could end our friendship.

@LordShadowfire That’s a pretty difficult situation. It’s one thing to have political differences but he is straight up defending a tyrant. I have had conservatives try to befriend me on SW and I’m like, yeah, no, never

@QueenOfZaun Why not tho?

@QueenOfZaun I'll be honest. If I was just meeting this guy for the first time in my life, I might never get to know him based on his politics.
