Thanks. Had you then thought about end your contact with that T, if he voted a certain way?
I´m not thinking of ending it with this T, it´s more a kind of fear I have as I find it very important to stand up for the poor and sick, as the left wing does to a greater extent than the right.
It´s a very good question, this about how I deal with people who think differently. I think my beliefs are grounded in my core and by that I´d probably find it hard to be friends with someone who voted in a complete opposite way. I would feel like that person was against me and not that he or she voted differently.
It´s partly the same with my T, that I´d find her to, in a way, disapprove of me if she had very different political views.

Still, even if your T would not tell you her political opinions, maybe this is a good opportunity to talk about how you deal with people who think differently than you in general. Can you disagree with someone politically and still see them as a good person or a friend?
