I am a liberal, my friend is an active conservative. ( campaigns for them)We have been friends a long time. Since Brexit, Tory win etc it has made me realise that there is a lot I dare not talk about for fear of a row .
I don't think we would fall out but some of her stances I vehemently disagree with. I do find it easier to talk to people with similar view points.
I feel quite sad about this as there are many things we do share but our different political beliefs means there is a lot we can't share. It is the elephant in the room.
Does anyone have similar issues with friends and/ or family? Please share!
