Yay, my first post in this very interesting forum! I got a new job over the summer and now have a lot of new friends who work there. I am a very liberal person and all of these new friends are very conservative, but I still get along with them very well. We just don't really talk about politics much because we already know we don't agree with each other and nothing is going to change that. My only problem is that they will talk amongst themselves about things when I'm there and it seems that they pretty much think anyone who doesn't believe what they believe is an idiot. That's just not right to me. When I say that I am liberal, I am liberal to the point where I just believe everyone should have the right to think what they want to think, and I'm not going to think someone is "stupid" just because they disagree with me! That's just silly Open mindedness is the key.
So how do you interact with your politically polar opposite friends?
