Would You Cut off Your Friends or Families Over Politics?

It is a cruel world out there when it involves debates.

Political issues with families can tear you apart. This is up to you. Having a conversation about politics with family members can bring you down.

It causes conflict that you don't want with families or friends.

Would you cut ties with friends and families because you are a Republican and the others are Democrats, or of other political parties?

It can be extreme when it comes to politics, respect the wishes of others and move on the right!

Some people cut off ties with families and friends just to prove a point. They are disrespectful and have different views which one is entitled to.

However, such discussions such as voting, can bring people together or drive them apart. It turns out to be a screaming attack on your loved ones.

Views hurt the next one in the family and you are against their views in politics.

Example:

This happened with a father and son. Firstly, they did not have a good father-and-son relationship.

Both dominate, are strong-willed and are biased. They often have disagreements and the father has to be right in every political discussion.

Father and son had many issues, arguing, and tantrums and the son didn't mind that he still loves his dad no matter the disagreement.

Unfortunately, the son couldn’t fathom his father’s support of Donald Trump.

A man who came from a developing country, started a new life in the United States of America, and grew into middle-class life, supports Donald Trump as a cry out for his son.

The point here is that an immigrant started his new life in a new country and supports Donald Trump and his son is totally against this.

It happens to many people in the United States of America and the rest of the world.

A one out of many other cases, family members have cut off ties with other family members because of politics. It sounds and is a betrayal for father and son.

They do not speak for this reason. Political differences go deeper into families. People get into arguments, even break through vicious arguments over politics.

This to me is sad and an inconvenience to society. You can’t agree on everything that is put in front of you. Everybody has an opinion and should be free to say what they want.

It doesn’t mean to the extent that breaking off ties with friends and family as the first option. Relative thinking is for many who get involved in politics.

Some people take to heart that who is in control would ruin them. Politics endangers relationships, family relationships, and any good friendships you have had.

Cutting off ties with families and friends is not the way to solve an issue in politics.

Beliefs in religion and politics are often problems around the world. Discussions such as these ruin good families. It divides families and friends, making personal reflections deeply affect each other.

I know of an entire family who became estranged through political arguments. You can defend yourself, but, families and friends do not understand it.

Why should you stop being friends with someone because your beliefs are not the same?

Whether you are compatible or not somewhere down the path you started your friendship over a good moment.

You choose to end your friendship because you do not agree with the same President is stupid. Political opinions are different from religious views.

When do you draw the line in politics in concerns of family and friends?

You treat others as you were taught, and politics are the same and you treat those who have the same beliefs as you wish to be treated.

Having a different opinion doesn’t mean you got to cut off family and friends from your life if they do not have the same beliefs. You need to understand what you are getting yourself into before judging other people.

Associate yourself with those who have the same beliefs as you do and, in this way, you do not need to disconnect with such people from your life.

Be able to understand your decision-making when you do, and welcome people in your life. You can be on anybody’s side, it is your choice.

Topics such as religion and politics shouldn’t be discussed with friends and families. You don’t have to run and hide from it, but keep it on a low level of discussion.

Be with people who have the same beliefs as you do to bring peace into your life. Accept what you hear and offer what you know as well. Differences in what may never be of interest to another, so do not take it for granted.

Politics affect relationships differently and the opposing views should be dealt with respect and no insults. Debate something without insulting the other person.

No two people should rage at each other through political differences. Whatever your political party is, share your opinions with respect and love. Politics shouldn’t take over your personal life or social life.

Avoid raging debates!

Why shouldn't you debate politics with good friends and family members?

You are losing good friends or family members over a political opinion that doesn’t sound proper. Common interests with friends will avoid the distance between family and friends.

You have a chance to learn about each other’s political views and don’t have to get away from the ones you love.

• Often it is not a bad experience to have a heated argument with a friend or family member.
• These debates, teach you more about what should be part of your discussion.
• Political opinions affect anyone on the opposite side.
• Deal with it in a good manner.
• You don’t have to hate each other for the different views you have.
• However you see it, political views hurt anyone who does not have the same views.

Most people do not care if they cut off ties with family and friends. This shows people's true behaviours when it comes to such debates.

Sitting at the table in debate and the need to be proven right is sad in some cases.

Well, when you think about the issues and argumentative issues combined for debate it ruins friendships.

Would you ruin a good friendship over political issues?

This can be stress related, and make you feel disrespected. When you are uner the influence of alcohol having political debates are a distraction. You feel more talkative and conflicts are a problem.

Such behaviours can make you feel disappointed. Families have a different opinion and to raise your voices that is not something you can calm down easily with.

Share and discuss with someone you share he same values and beliefs this will change the idea of having to discuss politics.

Often you have these debates and fall into a wrong track of mind. In this way you do not hurt the feelings of others.

You need an understanding and a way to feel good about your debate. Being able to undersand the debate is a good start.

In all you do you need to set a goal. That someone you share the same understanding of politics gives you a freedome of discussing whatever is on your mind.

Listen carefully and know what to say to one another. It is not about judging others, it is about getting to know what others are thinking.
