Maybe a different religion, or especially political beliefs seems to be a big deal-breaker. Do you still find it worthwhile to keep them in your life?

I do. I have e.g. Christian Conservative friends, and Atheist Liberal ones, etc. I enjoy each one for what they are. I mean, nobody is perfect! (like me ๐Ÿ˜)

We can disagree about pizza toppings, not that certain people don't deserve rights. Get the fuck out of my life if you're that type of asshole.

I hear that, yet one Christian MAGA friend I have is outright sympathetic to events (honorary almost liberal? actually a former one who turned Never-Hillary and never came back), while another STRONGLY atheist liberal I know acts pretty much identically to conservatives, just on the other side (authoritarian, gaslights people, even on matters of fact that are not known to them yet they judge readily based on their known lack of information regardless, without bothering to investigate).

It's hard to paint people with such broad strokes: as much as it would simplify matters to do so, each person is unique.

Too bad we don't get to vote in shades of grey. Sympathy doesn't matter if you're actively causing harm.

Yes, ultimately it is this 2-party system that is going to have killed our government.

Whereas religion seems nothing but various shades of grey!:-P
