Can you truly be good friends with someone whose political views are very different than yours?

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, as long as they are respectful of my views and don't feel a compulsion to explain why I am wrong and they are right. In fact, I exclusively dated a liberal woman for two years and we got along well. Our break up was totally unrelated to political differences.

Sure. The point of friends is not to be clones of you but people different from you.

[ellllltr]

Yes, if they don’t try to give me a hard time for having a different opinion. I hate it how some people do that.

@Siajanua2027 yes, I’m not interested in politics

[strateguy632]

like: "trump is too old the only option is biden" - who is even older! millions voted biden in 2020 and in primary.

[NathanDavis]

they are not EXTREME, just different views

[exitseven]

Maybe ten years ago,. I doubt I could do it today.

[LiamS95]

Possibly, it depends on their attitude and disposition.

I don’t even know what my friends political views are.
