Not an issues at all, I have friends, coworkers, and neighbors who supports Trump, we never talk politics. I don't let my politics dictates who I should talk to or socialize with. You shouldn't eat breathe and sleep politics, or let it be the head of your life. You could be missing out on some really great friendships. My neighbors who supports Trump are some of the nicest neighbors to have, we talk all the time, but just not politics.
I've been seeing posts on my facebook " asking people who support ..... to unfriend them". Personally i have colleagues who have stopped going to the usual happy hour because of different political views.
I don't "friend" socialists. Does that answer your question?
It's not. I am not on Facebook. I don't discuss politics at work and my friends share my values. I have neighbors who have vastly different political views but we have the common sense to steer clear of politics to ensure we are good neighbors.
I've been avoiding Facebook, even though there are many I miss there. Not really eager to have battling friends try to drag me into their fights. I will be returning soon, and my first post will be to say that anyone who issues an ultimatum about choosing between them and another person will be unfriended, post-haste, regardless of who is on which side. I am a liberal, and everyone I know knows it. You want to argue with me, fine. You want to tell me who I can be friends, with, you are gone, gone, gone.
Genuine friendships will never be affected by anything as superficial and full of BS as politics.
I don't think that is a universal truth. That may be true in some cases. Most friendships are built on shared values and interests. A flaming "liberal," a.k.a., socialist or "progressive", is not a person I would seek to be friends with. I would have nothing in common with such a person that would draw me into friendship with them. Ideology is everything, and socialists and "classical liberals" (today referred to as "conservatives") are 180° out of phase. I cannot tolerate their ideology. It is anti-American.
Fine. I live in Seattle where no one likes Trump. He only received 8% of the vote here.
Not surprising. One of the states with out of control liberal judges who usurped the President's Constitutional authority to set immigration policy, among other things. As bad as California. They would like to control our Presidential elections by eliminating the Electoral College and changing the way we elect the President, not understanding that we are not a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic. That says they are ignorant.
It occurs to me that in all probability - none of my friends would even think I know anything at all about Politics. People come to me for advice about stuff almost daily, but while many think I have a broad knowledge on a variety of things .... I doubt they think current events, history or Politics is something I know anything about it.
Funny when I thing about it. I've usually read close to 50 articles world wide by 7am and have done that for many years. I watch Congressional Hearings all the time. I follow the Stock Market closely.
None of my friends are even aware of all that.
I have a few very rich relatives who voted for Trump. They must have known he would represent the rich. They live too far away from me to ever see them except on facebook so it doesn't matter. Sometimes I feel like saying, "Why do you want to take our health care away? Nice that you're rich and can afford to pay for all of it" but I just hold my tongue.
Other than that, I don't know of anyone who likes him.
