Heard from an old friend I hadn't talked with in a decade. Didn't take long to realize he was MAGA. I cut the conversation short; didn't want to get into it.
I don't think politics can be put aside anymore in personal relationships. It's not like the 70s when there were reasonably minor policy differences. Now it's about an entirely different vision for what kind of country we want to live in and who's allowed to thrive in it. It permeates nearly every part of daily life.
