Are you capable of liking, getting along with, being friends with people who don't share the same opinions as you about

Apparently not.
My friend share different views, I always avoid any topic that could ignite arguments.

But she is being really smug about their win, constantly posting insulting stuff and laughing at dems panicking over the upcoming grim future.
I just can't be anywhere around her anymore

I think it's more about character than politics. Say that someone believes women shouldn't have a right to vote, he can say it's a political opinion, but it also makes him a sexist ahole. Just a silly example. (=

The problem is that it’s gotten to a point far beyond a difference of opinion on political issues. It’s about the type of person someone is willing to enthusiastically support, which gives much insight into their character, beliefs, morals, ethics. That insight can make it very difficult to see the supporter with respect and in a positive light, sometimes reaching the point where it’s better not to see them at all.

I never did until the trump thing. I'm unaffiliated and generally like people. But with him it's different. He propagates hate and thats something I can't get along with on any level.

That's because they are Trump supporters , how can you allow a man like that be president of the USA he's got his finger on the red button already

Im not going to tell a friend go f*** off just because of their political views. I think thats terrible. I dont agree with some of the political views others have on here but Im not going to block them because if it.

I can remain friends with people like that unless they come unhinged & start yelling and cussing at me.
We can agree to disagree and keep it movin.

Of course. I don't care about their politics just so long as they don't make it their personality and it doesn't demonstrate poor character for them.

I don't care what political views you have. I hate politics. However, if that politics is denying basic human rights, I'm not interested to talk with such people. You have reasonable politics and views, and unreasonable oppressionist mindsets.
There are people out there that are better, smarter, more noble than me and can and are willing to debate with them etc. I'm not one of them

I’m done with the Trump supporters. I cannot be friends with someone who doesn’t even have enough of a moral compass to keep a convicted criminal out of the White House.

That’s how I feel about that. 😳

I have noticed. And I think people are so thin skinned and close minded these days. Why are we so unable to allow others their opinions if different than those we hold? It really is pathetic. And stifles healthy debate in my opinion.

It depends.

Supporters of the person who apparently just won have insisted on lies being true, so...one cannot discuss anything with those who want their own "facts" as well as their own opinions.

it is only because people are disrespectful. then the block button is hit. yes, i can be friends with people who differ from me.

I kind of have no choice but to get along. I am not Red nor Blue so where does that leave me?

I used to be in real life, most of my friends had different political views.. I find it harder on line.

Yes but my friends and I don’t talk politics. It’s considered confidential like how much money you have.

I can. I hope people can with me, I don't know if people know what I think about politics n whatnot

Sometimes. Overall it's irritating though if it comes up too much.

Of course, but unfortunately it takes TWO.

Not currently in that head space. In time.

Sure depending on the person.

I am. I don't know about others though.

I think I can, but it might have to do with volume, frequency, and the dicknoseity they insist on putting into the message. Raise all those up high enough and even if I agree with the thesis, I might want to ... Well be not nice, I'll leave it to that.

I don't mind if someone has a different opinion to me, but some like to be argumentative and that's the time to just quit talking. I would listen to their views but I wouldn't want a slanging match over it!

I think so. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions. Even though they're wrong.

At least the inlaws will stay away for the next four years. 😂

For sure. Though, I feel like most people aren’t.

I am capable
But do I? 😏

Yah I accept people as they are … as long as they don’t cause issues in my life I get them and their mindset and just smile at em lol 🤍

Yes, one of my long time friends IRL is on the opposite side politically. As long as we don't talk politics we're fine.

I dont know why people get so upset about politics, its not if we can change or do anything about it. I just laugh at both parties despising eachother lol

if i didn't i'd be alone 🤔 ... wait 😲
