Did you support Kamala Harris while your significant other backed Donald Trump? Or perhaps you both agree on the broader policy issues, but your disagreements arise in the finer details.

In my circle, political views often create rifts in relationships. My Republican friends are generally with other Republicans, while my liberal pals tend to pair off with fellow liberals. Even at home, where my partner and I share opinions on taxes, zoning laws, and respecting people’s human rights, we still occasionally face uneasy political discussions.

Being single presents its own challenges. Many of my friends are navigating dating apps, and some are beginning to filter potential matches based on political beliefs right from the start. However, striking up a conversation at a bar complicates things a bit. “Nice to meet you! By the way, who did you vote for?”

So, how can you handle this situation? In today’s politically charged environment, how do you maintain relationships when your views are starkly opposed? Should you ignore the topic? Engage in debates? Discuss it, but only to an extent?
