And it's certainly creating a lot of tension among many friends, family members, and social media circles. To keep the peace, you may decide to set some healthy boundaries for yourself. That may mean deciding you're not going to talk about certain subjects. Or, it might even mean muting them on social media so you can't see their posts. It's OK to say, "I think we both have strong opinions about this and we're coming at it from different angles. I am happy to avoid the subject in an effort to maintain our relationship." You might find your time is better spent discussing topics you enjoy, rather than getting into debates over things neither of you can control.
