So you still have friends that have different beliefs than you? (piefed.social)

Maybe a different religion, or especially political beliefs seems to be a big deal-breaker. Do you still find it worthwhile to keep them in your life?

I do. I have e.g. Christian Conservative friends, and Atheist Liberal ones, etc. I enjoy each one for what they are. I mean, nobody is perfect! (like me ๐Ÿ˜)

I dont understand how you can listen to them claim they support values like equality while you know they made a voting decision that proves they do not valve those things for others(and themselves in some cases).

If someone who voted for trump told me equality is one of their core beliefs I could not take that seriously.

    I'm not from the US. And I don't have friends who are Trump supporters. I have family who support Trump, and I no longer have contact with them. I get you. I guess in my case, my friends are Conservative in the traditional sense, not the bastardized Trump sense.

    My dad is a right wing obsessed with American politics. I don't consider it a deal breaker because he doesn't vote in any elections and ultimately doesnt hurt anyone. However i have lost a lot of respect for him as a man and I think he's stupid for believing the nonsense he does.

    If this was a friend I would not remain friends with that person. The company I choose to keep reflects me and I learn and listen to those people. I expect a certain level of morals and intelligence from my close friends.
