[quote=Anonymous]If you differ from your friends politcally, you have to either stop discussing politics entirely or reahc a level of comfort in the inbetween - where you can joke, or see the other side, or at least understand the other person.  t a minimum, you have to know what they believe how they will respond and not engage.

You know how your friend feels about gov't workers - so this is not a friend you can go to with worries about losing your job or other pressures feds are under.  Is the person a good enough friend otherwise?  That's what you have to decide.

I have my high school reunion this weekend.  I'm from a rural area that is extremely red.  I'm pretty blue and have been since I was a kid.  We all know this about each other, even not having seen some of them for decades.  No one is going to bring up politics (I don't think).  Or if anyone does, I will smile blandly and ask about their mom, what are their kids doing, what do they do for fun, etc etc.  You just have to put it to the side.  [/quote]
