Wow! My SO just discussed this. He's on FB, I'm not. He said he's seriously thinking of "unfriending" life long friends bec of their political views.
I found this obsurd bec...well they're friends. But he feels that the way a person affiliates themselves politically tells a great deal about them.
I feel such a great divide!
I told him they could agree to disagree, but he refuses.
I try very hard not to talk politics but my SO makes his views very well known especially in front of my children. So when I hear my 6yo bashing someone at the dinner table saying how much he hates them I get super annoyed! And his views r only coming from my SO.
So I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle. Trying to teach tolerance in my house, the idea that if the president fails...we ALL fail. But I get the feeling from my SO that he'd love to see him fail just to prove the point!
