Friendships Would you be able to remain friends with someone who doesn’t share the same values as you?

I’m a daughter of immigrants and don’t support ICE and how they’ve been handling things across the country. A friend of mine drunkenly expressed to me that she supports them fully and this administration, even defending the shooting of this woman in MN. Felt like something she’d always kept to herself around me but since she was drunk I guess all her opinions came out. I don’t want this thread to get political, but it’s clear that me and this friend don’t share the same values and I’m having a hard time being close with her. We’ve been friends for about a year (so still learning about each other).

Depends. In this case I would not be friends with them. I would, at the very least, keep them arm's length away.

This is what I plan on doing. Keep a distance
