Do you have friends who don’t share your political views?

RE: Do you have friends who don’t share your political views?
When I was in high school pretty much everyone I hung out with was irreligious and more liberal than myself. I'd like to think it taught me to be tolerant of opposing views pretty early on. Now a days, being in the military, I am mostly surrounded by the opposite. Religious people (a lot of Mormons) and people who tend to be more conservative than myself and voted for Trump.

Both groups include mostly fine people, each with their own reasons for believing as they do, and I'm fine being friends with either of them. Just as much as I am with a more centrist type like myself.

With that being said, we mostly don't talk about politics and I mainly know of their views because of seeing their posts on Facebook, or passing comments here and there. Our friendships don't revolve around it one way or another and theres much more to people besides their political views.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
