When political differences threaten decades-long friendships

My oldest friend and I have been debating politics for twenty years and it used to sharpen both of us, but since the election we've been avoiding whole topics because we're afraid of discovering we can't bridge the gap anymore. The silence feels worse than the fighting, but we're both scared of what we might find out.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Fear of discovering irreconcilable differences can create a destructive silence that undermines the very foundation of intellectual friendship.
