How to navigate political differences in close friendships

Our friend group has been tight since college but over the past year we've started avoiding certain topics because two people in the group have really different politics and it always gets heated. Now we just make small talk when we get together and I miss the deeper conversations we used to have, but I don't know how to bring everyone back together without making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group is choosing surface harmony over authentic connection, and everyone can feel what's been lost.
