I'm a politically conservative Trump supporter and am in a liberal town in North Carolina right now having a few casual beers with some locals who are Sanders supporters. We're talking politics, but have a lot of similar interests otherwise, and have added each other to Facebook to hang out again.
They're little like me in many ways but we do share a few common interests. How well do you get along with people who are quite dissimilar to you?
I make it a point to not discuss politics with people I don't know very well. Also NEVER discuss politics at work.
Sounds like you just met these people, really bad idea to discuss politics the first time you meet someone.
Do you even live in that town? If you were just passing through why even bother with the Facebook stuff? I have a friend who does that, we will go out and if they talk to someone "want to be Facebook friends". I don't get it. They don't ever socialize with these people.
Regardless, stay off politics with people you don't know.

I can't do it when it comes to politics especially. I have several core beliefs that I can't and won't compromise. I don't have any friends who support Trump. I have one conservative friend, but she isn't voting for Trump and she's moderate.
I Played golf this morning and we are mostly men that don't have to worry about every word we say
but we stay away from race, politics and religion..
I get along with most all..... live by the golden rule,,,you usually get what you give
only a few times I had issues,,,my brother brought a left wing nut vegan to a family holiday dinner and she went on and on about politics,,til I had to ask her to stop or leave (one rule for family dinners is no politics,,,i say this to all the guests)
she went on and on about how we were killers for being deer hunters..
my brother had to apologize for her and didn't bring her back
I try hard not to discuss religion or politics with people. I'm very open to other people's thoughts and beliefs as long as they aren't trying to change my beliefs. Unfortunately religion and politics don't always bring out the best in some people.
We do not base our friendships on politics, money, status, religion or any other nonsense that has nothing to do with who the person is. If we are friends we are friends without all the outside poo influencing our friendship.

Yep. Being judgmental makes one narrow and small minded.
