I totally agree. I know one family where the parents are Trrump supporters and republicans while the adult children are Biden supporters and Democrats and they still love each other very much. But they talk to each other and are an exception.
That's great to hear. There are many stories out there of families and long-time friends cutting ties with each other. It's very sad, but if respect is limited in those cases, it is only natural to go no-contact or at least limit the contact.
Dear Megan, so so true, it seems that there is only one opinion that is shown in social media while any controversial views are cancelled or deemed far right extremist. While I am left leaning, and pro EU and open boarders, my boyfriend is a Trump supporter and pro Brexit. We have had many discussions about this and don't even agree on the Covid politics, but we love each other and listen to each other's thoughts and go into a discourse rather than saying that the other is wrong and should be quiet. I hardly see people on social media orvthe media who are of controversial political opinions since there seems no room for other convictions than our own. It seems that anyone who has not on vogue views is a bad person or deemed stupid and/or dangerous.
Thanks for sharing, Anne! It's great to see you and your boyfriend can discuss your different views without trying to shut the other one down. I hope there's more of that going on in this country, but at the same time, it is clear many refuse to do that. And it's tearing our country apart.
